Reddit Faces Threat of Data Leak Unless Ransom is Paid

Hackers who breached Reddit in 2018 have reportedly obtained a copy of the site's source code and user data. They are threatening to release the information unless Reddit pays a ransom of $4.5 million or abandons its fees for a year. The stolen data includes email addresses and private messages from the site's early days. Reddit has confirmed the breach and is working with law enforcement to investigate the incident.
