minus-squareDocMcStuffin@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up11·1 year agoReddit confirmed they were hacked back in February. TechCrunch and a few other publications covered it. So, I doubt Reddit is lying. BlackCat claimed responsibility for the hack. They also didn’t expect Reddit to pay the ransom. Selling the data on the dark web is the most likely outcome. They want a payout after all.
