Your Adengi Data May Be Compromised: 5,254,817 Records Exposed

HEROIC found the Adengi database breach dated March 1, 2024, exposing 5,254,817 records including email addresses, phone numbers, first and last names, and bcrypt password hashes from adengi.ru, a Russian online microloan and payday lending platform.

Why the Adengi Breach Is Dangerous

Financial platform breaches are especially high-value for attackers. Even bcrypt-hashed passwords can be targeted with offline cracking attempts. Combined with full names, email addresses, and phone numbers, this data enables credential stuffing, identity fraud, and social engineering attacks that exploit knowledge of Adengi users' financial activity.

What Was Exposed in the Adengi Leak

• Email Address
• Phone Number
• First Name
• Last Name
• Password Hash

Why This Adengi Data Puts You at Risk

If your bcrypt hash is cracked, attackers gain access to your password and can attempt it across banking, email, and other financial platforms. Your phone number and full name also enable SIM-swapping attacks, which can let criminals bypass two-factor authentication and take over your most sensitive accounts.

How Database Breaches Work

Database breaches occur when attackers exploit vulnerabilities in a website or application to gain unauthorized access to the underlying database. Once inside, they extract stored records in bulk, including personal identifiers and hashed credentials. The stolen records are then sold or posted publicly on criminal forums.
