Meanwhile, the news of hacking of an e-commerce platform is coming to the fore. Actually, hackers have hacked the data of 1.5 million customers of Zivame, which deals in women’s apparel. This was confirmed in a report by India Today and the hacker is asking for $500 crypto currency in exchange for this data.
Zivame deals in a wide range of women clothing.

When the hacker was talked about this data, he asked for $ 500 crypto currency in exchange for the data of 1.5 million women.

Some people have shared the matter related to hacking on social media, but no comment has been made on behalf of the company yet.
Let me tell you, this is not the first time that the data of a website is being sold in this way. Even before this, hackers were selling data of 7.1 million LinkedIn profiles and 1.21 million Rentomojo (furniture rental start-ups) through Telegram groups.
Scam is also happening through WhatsApp
Hackers or cybercriminals are also targeting people through WhatsApp. Recently, hackers contacted a woman living in Sector 61 of Noida and cheated several lakhs of rupees on the pretext of a job. Initially the woman was asked to like some YouTube videos for which she also got paid. When the hackers felt that the woman had faith in the work, they gave her the main task in which the woman lost more than Rs 4 lakh.

keep yourself safe
To avoid online scams, always keep in mind that under any circumstances do not give your personal details to the person in front. If a call or SMS comes from an unknown number, ignore it and if the person is harassing you, block and report that number. It is prudent that you should not fall into any greed because hackers are making people their prey only by giving greed.
