In the Internet world, everyone is harassed by hackers. These hackers also make a dent in the secure website and database. At the same time, when it comes to unsafe database, the problem increases. Right now there is a cyber attack in this world which is targeting unsafe database. It is currently being called a Meow Attack because these hackers are leaving the same word Meow after blowing up the database.
According to the information, so far more than 1000 unsafe databases have arrived in this attack, which have been completely destroyed. According to media reports, the first case of cyber researcher Bob DiChenko came to light last Tuesday when they learned that the UFO VPN database was destroyed, which contained information about the users.

According to media reports, 894 GB (gigabytes) of users’ data was leaked from UFO VPN. According to the Comperitech report, information such as IP address, including the password of the user’s account was leaked through UFO VPN. In view of this, the company moved the database to another location but once again it failed to protect it. Shortly thereafter, its database again faced Meow Attack.
Since then, many such cyber attacks have destroyed more than a thousand databases. Let us know that the headquarters of UFO VPN is located in Hong Kong. This app has been downloaded about 100 million times on the Google Play Store. Earlier, Twitter accounts of several celebrities including US presidential candidate Joe Biden, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and Apple were hacked.
