In August 2016, GeekedIn, a technology recruitment site, allegedly suffered a data breach after an exposed MongoDB database was accessed by an unknown third party. The breached dataset, originally scraped from GitHub in violation of its terms of use, contained over 8 million records. Among the compromised information were details from public profiles, including more than 1 million members’ email addresses.
