RBS notes:
The personal information of an estimated 100,000+ social media influencers has been compromised and partially leaked, following the breach of social media marketing company, Preen.Me. Furthermore, as a result of this breach, over 250,000 social media users have had their information fully exposed on a deep web hacking forum.
