The Wiziwig Leak Contains More Records Than a Sold-Out Arena

Wiziwig (wiziwig.eu) was a popular sports streaming aggregator that hosted links to live broadcasts of football, basketball, and other major sports events. In April 2013, the site's database was breached, exposing 18,651 user accounts. The stolen data includes account records stored with vBulletin (vB) password hashes. The breach is verified. Wiziwig attracted a large international audience, meaning the affected accounts span many countries and email domains.

Why Wiziwig Breach Is Dangerous

Sports streaming platforms attract users who register quickly and frequentele reuse passwords from other entertainment accounts. vBulletin hashes from 2013 are crackable with current hardware, and once cracked, the email-password pairs extracted from Wiziwig accounts are tested against streaming services, social media platforms, and email providers. The international user base means this data is useful for credential stuffing campaigns targeting audiences across multiple countries simultaneously.

• User Account Records (18,651 accounts)

Why This Wiziwig Data Puts You at Risk

If you registered on Wiziwig using an email and password you still use elsewhere, those credentials are now part of a tested breach dataset circulating in aggregation databases. Users who signed up for quick access to live sports streams often registered with real email addresses and common passwords for convenience. That additonal exposure, even from a single old forum account, can be enough for automated credential attacks to gain access to more valuable accounts.

How Sports Streaming Forum Accounts Enable Credential Stuffing

Wiziwig had an active community forum alongside its streaming links. Users who registered for community features shared not just their passwords but also their usernames, which are serous identifiers when matched against other forum databases. Attackers build combo lists from entertainment-adjacent sites like Wiziwig specifically because users on these platforms are less likely to have changed their passwords over the years and more likely to reuse credentials across services. The 18,651 accounts from this April 2013 breach are a modest but useful addition to larger credential datasets.
