Posted on September 8, 2016 by Dissent

Catalin Cimpanu reports:

Hackers have stolen over 33 million user records from QIP.ru, an instant messaging service used predominantly in Russia.

Softpedia received a sample of the data from HEROIC, a cybersecurity startup that protects users from hackers and cyber threats.
