Edmodo Data Breach

What happened

In May 2017, the education platform Edmodo was hacked resulting in the exposure of 77 million records comprised of over 43 million unique customer email addresses. The data was consequently published to a popular hacking forum and made freely available. The records in the breach included usernames, email addresses and bcrypt hashes of passwords.

Exposed data

Recommended actions

• Change your Edmodo 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 Edmodo — attackers weaponise breach data quickly.
• Check whether your email address appears in this breach on haveibeenpwned.com.
