The company did not yet confirm the hacking, but it turns out that approximately 40 million of its users are now exposed to different online selling platforms.

The profiles were said to be hacked from a popular social polling app called Wishbone. .

As described on the seller's ads online, the Wishbone data includes usernames, emails, phone numbers, city/state/country, but also hashed passwords. .

The sale includes the passwords for each account in Wishbone.

It was not identified whether the exact seller of the data was the main hacker of Wishbone.

But ZDNet thinks that the seller is only a "data broker," which specializes in selling and buying hacked items-- not part of the exact hacking business.

"Protecting data is of the utmost importance," the company said
