Description

The website for the game Dota 2 experienced a data breach in July 2016, affecting 1.9 million users. The compromised data included email addresses, IP addresses, usernames, and passwords stored as vBulletin hashes. Of these, 1.4 million entries were stored in plaintext, while the remaining passwords were stored as vBulletin hashes. This incident highlights the importance of using strong encryption algorithms to protect user data, especially when dealing with sensitive information like passwords. Storing passwords in plaintext is a significant security vulnerability.
