iMesh Data Breach

What happened

In September 2013, the media and file sharing client known as iMesh was hacked and approximately 50M accounts were exposed. The data was later put up for sale on a dark market website in mid-2016 and included email and IP addresses, usernames and salted MD5 hashes.

Exposed data

Recommended actions

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