Reddit has confirmed hackers accessed internal documents and source code following a “highly-targeted” phishing attack.
A post by Reddit CTO Christopher Slowe, or KeyserSosa, explained that the company became aware of the “sophisticated” attack targeting Reddit employees on February 5. He says that an as-yet-unidentified attacker sent “plausible-sounding prompts” that redirected employees to a website masquerading as Reddit’s intranet portal in an attempt to steal credentials and two-factor authentication tokens.
