Gamigo Data Breach

What happened

In March 2012, the German online game publisher Gamigo was hacked and more than 8 million accounts publicly leaked. The breach included email addresses and passwords stored as weak MD5 hashes with no salt.

Exposed data

Recommended actions

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