User names and e-mail addresses of 20 million visitors to a Russia-based online dating service have been hacked and offered for sale on a website, according to fraud-detection software-maker Easy Solutions Inc.
Daniel Ingevaldson, Easy Solutions’ chief technology officer, issued a statement about the breach at Topface -- a website that says it has more than 90 million registered users - - after seeing a posting by the thief, who used the alias ‘Mastermind,’ on an online forum used by cybercriminals.
