35 Million accounts leaked....... :shok: ....This Nate.com seems to be a hit in SK since 35M out 49M are using it ....
It seems like the hackers get their hands on : names, email addresses, phone numbers and resident registration numbers.
Once again, a social network has done a poor job at protecting its users' information, and it's the users which have to deal with the consequences.This is one of the reason why you should stay anonymous on the internet....
savit were you using this social network?

One thing I don't get is, why is leak such a big deal considering only phone numbers, email address and such were leaked, what could a hacker or anyone else do with this information? I would get it if the info was credit card details, bank accounts etc. but this I don't get.
