Mop.com Database

In 2015, Mop.com, a Chinese online shopping platform, suffered a massive data breach that leaked over 2 million user records. The leak, which was published on the dark web, contained sensitive information such as usernames, email addresses, passwords, phone numbers, and addresses of the affected users.

The leaked database consisted of 2,005,743 records, including user account details, order history, and payment information. According to reports, the breach was attributed to a vulnerability in the platforms login system, which was exploited by an unauthorized party.

The leaked data revealed that many users had reused passwords across multiple platforms, making them vulnerable to further attacks. The breach highlighted the importance of password security and the need for individuals to use strong, unique passwords for each online account.

In addition to the financial and reputational damage caused by the breach, the incident also raised concerns about the security measures in place at Mop.com and other Chinese e-commerce platforms. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of robust security protocols and regular vulnerability monitoring to prevent such breaches in the future.
