Usenet Informática

A massive security breach took one major Usenet provider offline.

The Usenet system is comprised of thousands of servers around the world where users can post discussions or content, otherwise known as binaries. These banks of servers share this information with other banks, allowing the data to propagate around the world.

A "security hole in a partner company" revealed names and bank account information, exposing customers to fraud and identity theft.

Usenet advised its users to change their passwords, but the ability to do so on UseNext.de doesn’t exist as the site is down.
