Hackers breach Reddit to steal source code and internal data

Posted on February 10, 2023 by Dissent

Lawrence Abrams reports:

Reddit suffered a cyberattack Sunday evening, allowing hackers to access internal business systems and steal internal documents and source code.

The company says the hackers used a phishing lure targeting Reddit employees with a landing page impersonating its intranet site. This site attempted to steal employees’ credentials and two-factor authentication tokens.

After one employee fell victim to the phishing attack, the threat actor was able to breach internal Reddit systems to steal data and source code.
