Three more high-profile databases were being offered for sale by the same group claiming the Tokopedia and Unacademy breaches out of which one is Chronicle.com, a news source for higher education.

The other two were photo print services ChatBooks, and meal kit delivery service, Homechef.

Together, the three databases count user records and passwords from 26 million accounts.

The hackers demanded a ransom of $1,500 and in case of default, they highlighted their plan to sell it.
