AndroidLista Data Breach

What happened

In July 2021, the Android applications and games review site AndroidLista suffered a data breach. The incident exposed 6.6M user records containing email addresses, names, usernames and passwords stored as salted SHA-1 hashes, all of which were subsequently posted to a popular hacking forum. AndroidLista did not respond when contacted about the breach.

Exposed data

Recommended actions

• Change your AndroidLista password immediately, and update it anywhere you reused the same password.
• Enable two-factor authentication on the affected account and on your critical services (email, banking).
• Watch for targeted phishing emails referencing AndroidLista — attackers weaponise breach data quickly.
• Check whether your email address appears in this breach on haveibeenpwned.com.
