ECCIE Data Breach

What happened

In January 2021, the adult escort forum ECCIE suffered a data breach which was later posted to a popular hacking forum. The data included 536k user records with email and IP addresses, usernames, dates of birth and salted MD5 password hashes.

Exposed data

Recommended actions

• Change your ECCIE 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 ECCIE — attackers weaponise breach data quickly.
• Exposed identity data raises identity-theft risk — consider credit monitoring or a credit freeze.
• Check whether your email address appears in this breach on haveibeenpwned.com.
