In June 2018 the United Kingdom based market research platform TopPaidSurveys experienced a significant data breach. The incident led to the exposure of personal details belonging to nearly one million users. The leaked data was subsequently shared on various underground hacking forums. The compromise typically occurs through vulnerabilities in the web application or misconfigured database settings allowing unauthorized access to the user repository.
