WebHostingTalk.com, Mac-Forums.com, DbForums.com and ABestWeb.com all owned by Penton were hacked on July 4th, 2016. Hotscripts.com and all the other websites they own were also hacked but we do not (yet) have those databases. LeakedSource has obtained and added a copy of this data to its ever-growing searchable repository of leaked data.

LeakedSource is a search-engine capable of searching over 1.9 billion leaked records — an aggregation of data from hundreds of disparate sources. We have been able to accumulate this data over a relatively short period of time through a combination of deep-web scavenging and rumor-chasing. Occasionally these efforts lead to major discoveries, but we really aren’t too picky. If we come across a leaked database from a company that most people haven’t heard of, we will incorporate it into our master database just the same.

You may search for yourself in the leaked Penton Network by visiting our homepage. If your personal information appears in our copy of this database, or in any other leaked database that we possess, you may remove yourself for free.

Since embarking on this ambitious project just a handful of months ago, we have processed an unbelievable amount of data. Much more than we expected, more than most large companies will ever house — and we’re just getting started. LeakedSource may soon become synonymous with Big Data, so don’t miss out!

Anyone may use the information on this page for free in any capacity provided LeakedSource is given credit and a link back.

LeakedSource does not engage in, encourage or condone unlawful entry (“hacking”) into private systems.

Summary

This data set contains 1,442,602 records from 3 websites. Each record may contain an email address, a username, an IP address, one password and a birthday.

Passwords

Passwords were stored using MD5 with salts.

The following table shows the top passwords used by Penton Network users. We will update this table as we finish converting them into visible passwords or if we get the other databases (eg: Hotscripts.com) owned by Penton Network. Unusual passwords such as ‘c43qpul5rz’ making it to the top list generally indicate spam accounts and we are pleased to see only 13,042 users used 123456.

Emails

Simple table of top email domains.
