ProCapital.ru

In October 2017 the Russian investment and trading forum ProCapital suffered a data breach resulting in the exposure of approximately 120 thousand user records. The incident involved an unauthorized access to the forum database where attackers obtained sensitive information. The leaked data included user nicknames, email addresses, and IP addresses. Additionally, passwords were found to be stored as MD5 hashes with salt which are vulnerable to cracking. This breach is significant as it targeted a community focused on financial markets and investment strategies in the region.
