Millions of e-mail addresses and passwords may have been stolen from Trapster, an online service that warns iPhone, Android, and BlackBerry owners of police speed traps, the company announced January 19. California-based Trapster has begun alerting its registered users and has published a short FAQ on the breach. "If you've registered your account with Trapster, then it's best to assume that your e-mail address and password were included among the compromised data," the FAQ stated. Trapster downplayed the threat, saying it was unsure the addresses and passwords were actually harvested. "While we know that we experienced a security incident, it is not clear that the hackers successfully captured any e-mail addresses or passwords, and we have nothing to suggest that this information has been used," Trapster said.
