Over 42million Cupid media passwords found on hackers server'

Brian Krebs discovered that adobe source code on the hackers server' and dating website Cupid media were stored on the same server. Krebs also identified that this contains the usernames, passwords, and dates of birth of over 42 million people signed up to Cupid media, in January Cupid media was attacked and it was not made public although Cupid media did email all affected users telling them to change there passwords. After this took place Cupid media implemented more ways to protect there site and the sites audience, but they have now realised people are still choosing simple easily hack able passwords like over 1.9milliom of their users use the password "123456" and over 1.2million users use the password "111111"
