VKontakte

In September 2024, a hacker known as "HikkI-Chan" claimed to have released personal information of over 390 million users from VK (VKontakte), a prominent Russian social networking platform. The leaked data, totaling 27.6 GB, reportedly included users' full names, gender, profile ID numbers, profile pictures, and location information. VK responded by denying any security breach, stating that the data was collected from publicly available sources and did not contain confidential information. They emphasized that user data remained securely protected.
