Optimism hack: In one of the most facepalm-worthy crypto-hacks of all time, the Optimism cryptocurrency project said it lost $19 million worth of funds after one of its partners sent funds to an Ethereum wallet they didn't yet have full control of. The cringeworthy IR report is here, and, according to Motherboard, the Optimism project is now pleading with the person who spotted and hijacked the errant transfer to return some of the stolen funds.
Mobike leak: Bike-sharing service Mobike leaked the passports, driver's licenses, and identity documents of more than 120,000 customers. Almost all of the identity documents were for users in Latin America, including Argentina and Brazil, TechCrunch reported, which worked for months with the vendor to have the leaky server secured.
TheTruthSpy leak: TheTruthSpy, a quite popular stalkerware app, also left servers exposed on the internet. Per Motherboard, the company leaked data from smartphones where the app was installed. Leaked data included photos of children, pets, and others related to babies, per the news outlet.
