Robinhood, one of the most popular trading platforms for stocks and cryptocurrencies, recently suffered a massive data breach. A third-party intruder gained access to the personal information of more than 7 million customers in this cyber-attack. The company says that although the attacker was able to access personal data like the full names and email addresses of customers, it does not believe that the Social Security numbers, bank account numbers, or debit card numbers of the customers were exposed during the attack.
The company sought the help of a third-party security company Mandiant to investigate the situation. While the company investigates the unfortunate incident, any worried customers can go to the help center of the company’s website to know whether their accounts have been affected by the breach or not.
