Helistin.fi Hacked, Intoloop Kids' Baby Book Unaffected
Helistin.fi, a Finnish media property owned by Darwin Media, was hacked last night. According to reports, all user credentials were shared online. The site holds a popular bulletin board for young parents as well as a baby book service offered by the Finnish startup Starduck Studios. Intoloop Kids, the service Starduck Studios licensed to Helistin.fi remains unaffected by the hacking. Henri Liljeroos, CEO, stated on the phone to us that "the bulletin board on Helistin.fi was hacked and this does not affect users on our service, which is still up".
Starduck Studios Close 400k € In Financing
Starduck Studios was able to close 400 000 euro ($570 000 US) in financing just before midsummer. The financing has come from 8 different investors. Among the announced investors were Pitkäjärvi Capital, Hannu Jyrkkä, JanDing, Jussi Lahdenniemi and Gowda Capital. We had a chat with Henri Liljeroos, CEO and Co-Founder and he mentioned that many of the investors are from outside the capital region of Finland. A refreshing sign that the investing market is maturing.
Intoloop Kids: Your Child’s Most Memorable Events Come Online
There is one thing that parents love the most when it comes to kids and that's sharing the most memorable moments with everyone they know. The problem is you can take photos of the first step they take, their first giggle, etc but sharing them is a huge problem. Emailing helps, but the task is boring and doesn't really allow proper interaction. A service that lets you share all these moments as a journal is a need of many parents. Enter Intoloop Kids.
