- What happened?
A:In episode 86 of Darknet Diaries, the story of the LinkedIn data breach is explored. In 2012, a hacker named "Peace" was able to gain access to the LinkedIn database and steal over 6 million user passwords. The passwords were then sold on the dark web, and the incident caused a huge uproar in the security community. LinkedIn was forced to reset all user passwords and implement better security measures. The hacker was never caught, and the incident remains a cautionary tale for companies to take security seriously.
