Image sharing service data breach

Japanese software company Helpfeel is notifying users of its Gyazo image-sharing service that hackers have accessed their information.

Gyazo is a widely used cross-platform tool that lets users capture screenshots, GIFs, or short screen recordings and instantly generate shareable links.

Helpfeel revealed this week that it recently detected unauthorized access to Gyazo servers. A hacker exploited a vulnerability in its image upload server on September 11, enabling them to execute malicious commands. 

The attacker was kicked out the next day, but not before accessing a database storing roughly 23.6 million user records.

The compromised Gyazo user information includes names, email addresses, password hashes, user and device IDs, X integration tokens, profile information, usage statistics, and billing information.

Payment card information was not compromised, according to the vendor.
