Reddit, the social news and discussion site with 50 million daily users, has confirmed that it has been hacked. In a February 9 security incident posting on the site itself, Reddit said it first became aware of the successful breach of its systems late on February 5. In what it refers to as a " sophisticated phishing campaign that targeted Reddit employees," the incident alert confirmed that the attacker gained access to internal documents and coder, as well as internal dashboards and business systems. However, Reddit also stated that there was no evidence the systems used to run Reddit itself and store the majority of data, the primary production systems in other words, was breached. Furthermore, the ongoing incident investigation has found no evidence that user passwords or accounts were accessed, the report stated.
