BigMoneyJobs

In April 2014 the job search portal BigMoneyJobs experienced a significant data breach. An attacker operating under the pseudonym Probablyonion successfully compromised the website database likely exploiting a SQL injection vulnerability. This security incident resulted in the exposure of sensitive information belonging to over 36000 registered users. The investigation revealed that the service failed to implement basic cryptographic protections for user credentials as passwords were stored in plain text format making them immediately accessible to the unauthorized party.
