Hallo zusammen,

vielleicht hatte der ein oder andere ja auch in letzter Zeit Probleme mit gehackten Konten. Ich hatte jedenfalls mit diversen Passwortänderungen, geschlossenen Accounts usw. zu kämpfen.

Mein Mann hat heute durch Zufall in seinem Firefox-Browser folgende Nachricht entdeckt:

„Datenleck einer Website wurde am 22. Juni 2020 registriert“ Go.appen.com

Passwörter, Telefonnummern, IP-Adressen, E-Mails wurden veröffentlicht.

Ich finde es unmöglich, dass sich Appen bis dato nicht dazu geäußert hat als einem der größten Anbieter für Remote Jobs. Ich werde jedenfalls nicht mehr für diese Firma tätig werden.

Hier die offizielle Meldung von Golem:

https://www.golem.de/news/hackerforum-18-datenlecks-mit-386-millionen-betroffenen-veroeffentlicht-2007-149961.html

Bitte ändert auch umgehend euer Passwort dort und auf allen Seiten, wenn ihr betroffen seid. Und macht ggf. auch mal Druck, dass die sich dazu äußern. Es ist wirklich ein Skandal.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Nadine ▲ Collapse

It only affected accounts on the Appen Data Annotation Platform (ADAP), which was formerly known as the Figure Eight / CrowdFlower platform.

For those with accounts on ADAP, please note that your password is protected using industry standard encryption and hashing methods, but as an added precaution we recommend changing your password associated with the platform and any other accounts that might be using the same password. Your password will force reset in next few days if action is not taken immediately.

For more information, please visit this FAQ.

Ouch! Aug 14, 2020

Thanks for the heads up. Looks like my account wasn't affected, but I changed my password anyway. Not being notified by Appen about this data breach is extremely annoying to say the least. I have to say I've never liked the company's approach, and I never worked with them after signing up because they pay peanuts.
