astrology application

The Moonly astrology application, with around 6 million users, experienced a data breach that exposed sensitive user information, including addresses, email addresses, birth dates, GPS locations, and employee credentials. A publicly accessible database linked to Cosmic Vibrations Inc. was discovered, containing data from a backup dated April 19, 2024. The breach raised security concerns, particularly due to the leaked GPS locations and the potential for hacking attempts given the exposure of birth dates and email addresses. While employee passwords were hashed, some were cracked, increasing the risk of unauthorized access to the database. Additionally, evidence suggests that Moonly's management may be based in Russia, with employee logins traced to the Russian Federation, Belarus, and Indonesia, raising concerns about the company's operations and potential circumvention of US sanctions. Moonly has not publicly addressed these issues.
