Fotolog Data Breach

What happened

In December 2018, the photo sharing social network Fotolog suffered a data breach that exposed 16.7 million unique email addresses. The data also included usernames and unsalted SHA-256 password hashes. The site was dissolved the following year and repurposed as a news website based in Brcko, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Exposed data

Recommended actions

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