Hacker sells 22 million Unacademy user records after data breach

Online learning platform Unacademy has suffered a data breach after a hacker gained access to their database and started selling the account information for close to 22 million users. The database contains a total of 21,909,707 user records, including usernames, SHA-256 hashed passwords, email addresses, first and last names, and whether the account is active, a staff member, or a superuser. The last account created in the database is from January 26th, 2020, which indicates that the hacker most likely breached the systems around that time.
