Foxy Bingo Data Breach

What happened

In April 2007, the online gambling site Foxy Bingo was hacked and 252,000 accounts were obtained by the hackers. The breached records were subsequently sold and traded and included personal information data such as plain text passwords, birth dates and home addresses.

Exposed data

Recommended actions

• Change your Foxy Bingo 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 Foxy Bingo — attackers weaponise breach data quickly.
• Stay alert for smishing (SMS phishing) and SIM-swap attempts using your phone number.
• Exposed identity data raises identity-theft risk — consider credit monitoring or a credit freeze.
