Fridae Data Breach

What happened

In May 2014, over 25,000 user accounts were breached from the Asian lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender website known as "Fridae". The attack which was announced on Twitter appears to have been orchestrated by Deletesec who claim that "Digital weapons shall annihilate all secrecy within governments and corporations". The exposed data included password stored in plain text.

Exposed data

Recommended actions

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