The leak was posted to pastebin and contains no real messages besides two hashtags #opBlackSummer and #alQaeda. The leaked data contains what appears to be full personal and financial information for people who have signed up on the site for its services and the details include names, credit card details with card numbers, cvv and what appears to be expiry as well as other information related to the users account and sadly all this has been stored in plain text. The amount of credentials leaked is only small (298) but it still shows that sites holding this information really need to rethink the ways they are handling it.
