Armorama
In February 2018, Armorama, a well-established international community and media hub for armor and AFV scale modelers, hosted by the KitMaker Network in the United States, suffered a data breach that affected 54,372 users. The compromised data included email addresses and MD5 password hashes. Due to the weak security of MD5, users should change affected passwords and use unique, strong ones going forward.
InMovil
In June 2022, InMovil, a Spanish e-commerce platform specializing in mobile phones, suffered a data breach exposing approximately 8 million records containing nearly 44,000 unique email addresses, full names, IP addresses, birthdays, and MD5 hashed passwords. The incident highlights the importance of implementing strong cybersecurity measures to protect sensitive information and prevent such breaches from escalating risks.
Cambridge Australia
In August 2018, Cambridge Australia suffered a data breach affecting nearly 1 million records. The exposed data includes over 411,000 unique email addresses and passwords hashed using either MD5 or bcrypt. The presence of weak hashing like MD5 poses a significant risk to account security. Adopting consistent, modern encryption methods is essential to protect user data and prevent unauthorized access.
Avifauna
In October 2017, Avifauna, a Danish ecommerce platform specializing in pet supplies, suffered a data breach affecting nearly 35 thousand unique records. The exposed data includes email addresses and MD5 hashed and salted passwords. Despite salting, the use of MD5 leaves passwords vulnerable to modern cracking techniques. Adopting secure, up-to-date hashing algorithms is essential to ensure strong protection of user credentials.
BDSM Story
In August 2018, BDSM Story, a pornographic site, suffered a data breach affecting approximately 90 thousand records. The exposed data includes over 87,000 unique email addresses and either plaintext or MD5 hashed passwords. Using strong encryption and maintaining robust cybersecurity practices are essential to protect user anonymity and data.
EMESCN
In August 2018, EMESCN, a now-defunct U.K.-based educational website for migrants, ethnic minorities, and stateless children, suffered a data breach that affected 27,893 users. The compromised data included email addresses and bcrypt password hashes. Although bcrypt is a stronger hashing method, users should still rotate passwords to be safe.
WorldShop
In August 2018, WorldShop, a now-defunct Lufthansa Miles & More shopping portal based in Germany/Europe, suffered a data breach that affected 73,698 users. The compromised data included email addresses and plaintext passwords. Users should reset passwords immediately and avoid reusing them across services.
