Mail.ru Forums Hack Compromises over 25 Million User Accounts

Posted on August 24, 2016 by Dissent

Catalin Cimpanu reports:

Data breach index service LeakedSource has added a slew of new hacked websites to its database, including over 25 million user records from three compromised Mail.ru communities.

The three communities are cfire.mail.ru (Cross Fire game), parapa.mail.ru (ParaPa Dance City game), and tanks.mail.ru (Ground War: Tank game).

All communities were running older vBulletin forum software that was compromised and allowed hackers access to the underlying data. LeakedSource obtained copies of this stolen data, which it added to its database.
