Established in 2003, PowderRoom is a South Korean beauty content platform connecting 3.5 million members and thousands of beauty brands

It calls itself the first and the biggest beauty community in South Korea that “allows you to experience new brand products faster than anyone else and share the experience”

It exposed up to a million users’ full names, phone numbers, emails, Instagram usernames and home addresses

The database was publicly available for over a year


Attackers could have exploited the data to launch phishing and device hijacking attacks, make unauthorized purchases, and stalk users

Cybernews reached out to PowderRoom and the Korean National Computer Emergency Response Team, and the data was secured
