Report: Weebly hacked, 43M credentials stolen read more at here www.spinonews.com/index.php/item/1364-report-weebly-hacked-43m-credentials-stolen

The web design platform Weebly was hacked in February, according to the data breach notification site LeakedSource.

LeakedSource said it received the Weebly database from an anonymous source and notified Weebly of the breach. Weebly and Foursquare are the latest in a long line of tech companies under scrutiny for their security practices.

A Weebly spokesperson said: "At this point we do not have evidence of any customer website being improperly accessed. We do not store any full credit card numbers on Weebly servers, and at this time we're not aware that any credit card information that can be used for fraudulent charges was part of this incident," ZDNet reported.

LeakedSource also identified data from Foursquare, claiming that 22.5 million accounts were compromised in December 2013. The data includes emails, usernames and Facebook and Twitter IDs, which could have been scraped from Foursquare’s API or search.

Weebly said in an email to customers that user IP addresses were also taken in the breach.

“We have done an internal investigation and no breach has occurred,” a company spokesperson said in a statement.

According to breach notification site LeakedSource, over 43 million Weebly user accounts have been stolen, after hackers accessed the firm's main database in February 2016.
