Unfortunately, one of their blind SQL injection attack got successful and they were able to fetch encrypted passwords as well as other information we have in our database. During all this time, he has been trying to blackmail us in all sorts of ways.

It appears the last thing he could do is to hurt our reputation and contact our clients about it.

To all our clients, please, rest assured your account is 100% safe. We have taken all necessary measures to prevent this type of issues in the future and to protect ExoClick clients. After the incident, we also hired a company expert in online security to audit our platform and make sure there was no other possible flaws.

I sincerely and personally apologies for this. And I apologies for any inconvenience that this might have caused you. Believe me we are taking this very seriously.

If you have any questions or doubts, please don't hesitate to contact me personally.

Best,
Benjamin.
Nice quick repsonce and I hope you can find the idiot who did it
