The online stock trading platform Robinhood recently announced that it had suffered a data breach, exposing over five million of its users’ Email addresses, and two million of its users’ full names.

The data breach reportedly occurred when an unauthorized party impersonated an authorized party to a Robinhood employee by phone and demanded ransom for the Data. Robinhood then reported the incident to Law enforcement.
