Lookbook Data Breach

What happened

In August 2012, the fashion site Lookbook suffered a data breach. The data later appeared listed for sale in June 2016 and included 1.1 million usernames, email and IP addresses, birth dates and plain text passwords.

Exposed data

Recommended actions

• Change your Lookbook 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 Lookbook — attackers weaponise breach data quickly.
• Exposed identity data raises identity-theft risk — consider credit monitoring or a credit freeze.
• Check whether your email address appears in this breach on haveibeenpwned.com.
