The Biggest Security Breaches Which Shook The Internet
# European Central Bank
The European Central Bank website was hacked and most of the personal information of the employees and customers were stolen. The hacker of the website claimed to have access to a database of 20,000 email address, telephone numbers, and address of people who had registered for the conference.
# Tor
Tor is an open software that enables online anonymity and resists censorship. The software is designed to facilitate the users to surf internet anonymously, so their activities and location cannot be tracked by the government agencies, corporations, or anybody else. This project was hacked and the hacker is suspected of having revealed the identity information or other information related to the customers using Tor.
