The world’s most popular Free Web Hosting company 000Webhost has suffered a major data breach, exposing more than 13.5 Million of its customers’ personal records. The stolen data includes usernames, passwords in plain text, email addresses, IP addresses and last names of around 13.5 million of 000WebHost’s customers. The company has changed all customers’ passwords to the random values and implemented encryption without giving any direct notice to its affected customers. It ignored early warnings from an Australian security researcher and a Forbes journalist.
