A hacker has leaked this month the data of more than 4.2 million users registered on Peatix, an event organizing platform, currently ranked among the Alexa Top 3,500 most popular sites on the internet.

The site's user data was made available through ads posted via Instagram stories, on Telegram channels, and on several different hacking forums.
According to samples of the Peatix data seen by ZDNet, the leaked information included full names, usernames, emails, and salted and hashed passwords.

ZDNet notified Peatix of a possible breach earlier this month, but we never heard back from the company. Nonetheless, Peatix went public and admitted its breach this week through a message posted on its website [PDF, archived].

Peatix reassured users that no financial data was involved as all payments were handled through third-party platforms, and nothing was stored inside its database.

"In addition, based on our investigation to date, we have no reason to believe that any historical data of events in which users participated, any data obtained through our questionnaire function or users' addresses or phone numbers were accessed," the company said.
