As a result of the incident, around 5 million Robinhood customer email addresses were stolen. Krebs suggested that there will be “an uptick in phishing schemes targeting Robinhood users.”

In July of this year, Domain Gang published an article about Tilt.com. The domain name had been owned by Airbnb and was reportedly stolen from the company when the Whois registrant email domain name was acquired by a third party. Tilt.com was then registered to Greenberg & Lieberman, an Intellectual Property law firm and domain name escrow service provider.
