A hacker from Pakistan claims to have hacked into the user database of popular music streaming website Gaana.com. ‘Mak Man’ announced the exploit via his Facebook page and has also uploaded what is claimed to be the entire database of Gaana.com users containing details of over 10 million users.
The hacker also claimed to have gained access to Gaana’s backend panel and posted purported screenshots of the same. He claims to have used simple SQL Injection technique to engineer the attack. The development was first reported by The Geek Byte.
If you enter the email address of a registered Gaana.com user, you can access their full name, email address, MD5-encrypted password, Facebook & Twitter profiles, and other details including date of birth. We would advise users against entering their email address on an unknown third-party website, even if it’s to check if their user details have been exposed – just consider your account as compromised and act accordingly.
If you are a registered Gaana.com user and use the same password anywhere else, we advise you to change the password across all websites. Gaana.com has not confirmed the hack at the time of filing this report, though the website is “down due to server maintenance.”
