Hackers breach Reddit systems; steal source code and internal data

Threat actors hacked into Reddit’s systems gaining access to internal documents, code and business systems, the platform shared in its security incident notice. Attackers then gained access to some internal docs, codes, dashboards and business systems; however no breach was reported in the primary production systems where majority of data is stored, thereby ensuring user passwords and accounts data was not leaked, the company shared. Earlier, last week, reports of cybercriminals operating crypto scam apps having found a way to bypass security protocols on Apple and Google official app stores to publish fraudulent apps emerged. And while Apple and Google’s security teams removed the fraudulent apps, since there may be other existing fraudulent apps users are advised to be cautious when downloading apps via email or messaging links.
