PolleninFormation.at

In June 2023 the Austrian platform Polleninformation.at suffered a significant data security incident. This website serves allergy sufferers by providing forecasts and pollen concentration data. The breach resulted in the exposure of sensitive personal information belonging to approximately 22000 registered users. The compromised dataset originated from a vulnerable database and included personal identifiers along with security credentials. The presence of plaintext passwords significantly increases the risk for users who reuse credentials across other digital services.
