The reason why I post this article is that I am a Foxit PDF software user with an account. From the article, we know that unknown third-parties gained unauthorized access to Foxit’s data systems recently and accessed its registered users’ data, including user’s email addresses, passwords, users’ names, phone numbers, company names, and IP addresses. I use my Wechat account to access the Foxit, so I take this event very serious. However, I found that the Foxit annouce that users in China will not affect by this data breach because Chinese users do not use the same register path with users from other country. It is interesting that Foxit did not send any email or any kind of message to its Chinese users, at least I did not receive any. In addition, I do not know whether Chinese users is really safe in this event, so if you have any professional opinion about this event, welcome to share it on comments.
