What Attackers Could Do With DinoXPC’s Reported Hashed Logins
HEROIC analysts reportedly identified a file tied to DinoXPC, a technology review website, containing 1,415 records of email addresses paired with hashed passwords dated to August 2023. The surest way to know what an attacker could already know about you is to scan your email and check.
What Was Exposed
Key findingThis breach exposed email addresses and hashed passwords for 1,415 records.
The Pair of Details Reportedly Tied Together Here
- Email addresses: gives an attacker a verified, reachable target for direct contact.
- Password hashes: the strength behind these is not confirmed, so any match should be treated as a password that could eventually be recovered.
Why This Still Leads to Real Account Takeovers
An attacker who successfully cracks even a fraction of these hashes gains working logins they can quietly test against banking, shopping, and email accounts, often long after the original file first appeared. Because that cracking work can happen slowly in the background, someone affected may not notice anything unusual until well after the original file was first shared.
Data exposed in this breach
Email addresses appear in 100% of the 1,415 records in this breach, alongside hashed passwords (100%).
Even on their own, leaked email addresses are useful to attackers: they confirm the address is in use and put it on phishing and spam lists.

Email providers and account types
20.4% of the email addresses in this breach are personal mailboxes and 79.6% are work addresses. The most common provider is gmail.com, followed by alice.it and libero.it.
Work addresses matter because a password reused on a company account can give attackers a way into that organisation. The company domains below show which employers appear most often.

Password Analysis
Could an Attacker Already Have Your DinoXPC Login?
Scan your email to see whether it shows up in this reported file. If it does, change your DinoXPC password as a precaution, and change it anywhere you reused it, since hash strength here cannot be confirmed either way. Check both your personal and work email addresses to be thorough.
Password storage and hashing
Of the hashed passwords, 100% use MD5 or NTLM. 100% use fast or reversible methods such as MD5, NTLM or SHA-1, which are quick to crack.
Hashing only protects a password if the method is slow. bcrypt, scrypt and Argon2 are designed to slow attackers down; MD5, NTLM and SHA-1 were designed for speed, which makes them easy to crack in bulk.

Threat Intelligence
Key finding17 records from dinoxpc.com staff appear in 12 other breaches.
What an Attacker Could Actually Do With This Reported File
Even without the original password in hand, an attacker holding an email and a hash can run automated cracking attempts in the background, and if the password was ever reused, they can also simply try the email on other sites while that work runs.
How a Reported Review-Site Leak Like This Takes Shape
A reported leak like this generally comes from the review site's own stored account records, pulled directly from its systems rather than collected from visitors' devices one by one. From there, it tends to move through forums before reaching broader messaging channels.
Employees of dinoxpc.com in other breaches
17 records from dinoxpc.com staff turn up in 12 other breaches. The most common sources are Verifications.io, Adobe and XSS.IS Combolist.
50% of these staff passwords are reused, so a password leaked in one of these breaches may still open a work account. Organisations in this position should reset passwords for the affected addresses and require multi-factor authentication.
