Ge.tt Data Breach

What happened

In May 2017, the file sharing platform Ge.tt suffered a data breach. The data was subsequently put up for sale on a dark web marketplace in February 2019 alongside a raft of other breaches. The Ge.tt breach included names, social media profile identifiers, SHA256 password hashes and almost 2.5M unique email addresses.

Exposed data

Recommended actions

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