Hostinger faced a data breach

Not only in India do you find this but in Canada there have been two large corporations who have been breached. I.e. there was a hole in the security of the database. The last case the hole was discovered by a hacker from the US who was doing it for the fun of it. She then announced it as an accomplishment - bragged about it - in the social media. And that was how they discovered that their database had been breached. Fortunately the content was not moved yet.

I'm just thinking that possibly if she had worked ethically she could have started her own company to check for vulnerabilities in large corporation databases and earned money for it, instead of being jailed, as she had been after this event.

Here's a link to the hacking:
