SitePoint web professional community community has disclosed a data breach after their user database was sold and eventually leaked for free on a hacker forum. SitePoint users received extortion and fake cryptocurrency giveaway emails to addresses that they state were specifically created for and only used at SitePoint.com. SitePoint says the hackers gained access to their system through a compromised third-party tool used to monitor their GitHub account. Site point has reset the passwords for all accounts, but those accounts configured to log in automatically will still do so.
