In 2017, YouNow.com, a livestreaming platform, experienced a data breach that compromised the personal information of approximately 229,903 users.

The leaked data included sensitive information such as email addresses, phone numbers, passwords, birthdates, and IP addresses. The breach occurred due to a vulnerability in YouNows user database, allowing attackers to gain unauthorized access.

The leaked database was later posted on various dark web forums and circulating among cybercriminals. This breach raised concerns about the security measures implemented by YouNow and the potential risks to its users.

YouNow subsequently acknowledged the breach and took steps to address the vulnerability, including resetting user passwords and implementing additional security measures. However, the leaked data remains a concern for affected individuals, who may face an increased risk of identity theft, phishing attacks, and other online scams.
