俄最大社交网站1.7亿用户信息惨遭盗取，黑市仅售1比特币 - VK,网络安全 - IT资讯

IT资讯讯 俄罗斯最大社交网站并非Facebook，而是VK.com，原名vkontakte.ru。最近该网站遭受沉重打击，有1.71亿名用户账号遭盗取，约为该网站总用户数量（3.5亿以上）的一半。然而如此庞大的信息量在黑市的交易价格却低的离谱，出售者开价仅为1比特币。

从这份文件来看，被盗用户信息十分可观，包括完整用户名、email地址、纯文本密码，另外还有某些用户提供了电话和位置信息，也都顺便成为了黑客的囊中之物。据悉参与作案的黑客早在2012年底至2013年初就开始盗取行为，但目前还无法确定到底是哪家黑客组织和个人直接实施了盗取行为。

目前在黑市出售的信息约有17GB，涉及大约1亿名用户账户。测试者尝试搜索其中的账户，发现多数有效。少数无效账户已经注销，使用email尝试联系后也暂未收到回应。目前VK官方还未对此事做出解释。
