24.3 mn Lumin PDF users' data posted on hacking forum


San Francisco, Sep 17 (IANS): Details of as many as 24.3 million users of Lumin PDF -- which allows users to share and edit PDF files in real-time -- were leaked on a hacking forum.

The hacker said he leaked the company's data after Lumin PDF administrators failed to answer his queries multiple times over the past few months, ZDNet reported on Monday quoting sources.

Lumin PDF is essentially a Cloud-based service that lets users view, edit, and share PDF files using a web-based dashboard inside a browser extension, or via the mobile apps.

A hacker reportedly published a download link to the company's entire user database.

The hacker's download link is for a 2.25GB ZIP file that holds a 4.06GB CSV file containing the user records of 24,386,039 LuminPDF users, the report added.
