Robinhood Says Email Addresses of 5 Million Customers Exposed in Security Breach

Robinhood warned users on Monday that a hacker bypassed the defenses of stock trading applications and stole the email addresses of millions of users. The company stated in a blog post that the culprit called customer support and pretended to be an authorized party to trick Robinhood employees into providing access to customer support computer systems, a hacking technique known as “social engineering.”

According to the post, after stealing information from Robinhood, hackers tried to blackmail the company for payment, and the company chose to alert the police and warn users about violations. “We should keep our customers transparent and act with integrity,” Robinhood Chief Security Officer Caleb Sima said in the post. “After careful review, it is the right thing to let the entire Robinhood community pay attention to this incident.” According to the company, the vulnerability occurred on the evening of November 3, when hackers stole about 5 million email addresses of Robinhood users and the names of about 2 million other members of the investment service company. Robinhood stated that the hacker also appeared to have the names, dates of birth and postal codes associated with 310 users, as well as other account details for some of them.

Robin Hood said in the post: “The attack has been contained. We believe that no social security number, bank account or debit card number has been exposed, and no customers have caused financial losses as a result of this incident.” Hackers can use the stolen information to try to deceive members of Robinhood through tricks such as “phishing” emails to impersonate the company.

Robinhood is believed to introduce a new generation of individual investors to the stock market, but the platform is also addictive due to the features critics have said. Robinhood’s game-like aspect also raises concerns that users may ignore the serious financial consequences of investment.

Tom signs Nolan’s next

This will mark the first collaboration between Tom and Christopher. While details of his next directorial aren’t known yet, it’s most likely not to have a contemporary setting. It’ll be either set in the past like, his previous film Oppenheimer (2023), or in the future like Interstellar (2014). Matt Damon, who has worked with Christopher in both, has also come on board his next.

Christopher’s next will be co-produced by him and his wife Emma Thomas’ banner Syncopy Inc and Universal Pictures, as the two production houses will team up after the Academy Award-winning blockbuster Oppenheimer last year. Prior to Oppenheimer, Christopher collaborated mostly with Warner Bros before having a fallout post the debacle of Tenet (2020).

Warner Bros then went on to produce Greta Gerwig’s musical satire Barbie, which clashed with Oppenheimer at the box office and even outperformed it globally. Warner Bros offered Christopher a cheque for the fees he waived off for helming Tenet during the pandemic. While Christopher graciously accepted the belated remuneration, he still went on to pitch his next to Warner Bros.

Tom’s busy schedule

Tom didn’t have any release this year. His last outing was Todd Graff’s psychological thriller show The Crowded Room on Apple TV last year. He’ll juggle the filming of Christopher Nolan’s next and Spider-Man 4 in 2025. Tom has been playing the superhero ever since Russo Brothers’ 2016 blockbuster Captain America: Civil War. He’s slipped into the Peter Parker shoes post that for three standalone films and two Avengers movies. Spider-Man 4 will be helmed by Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton.
