Manga Traders Data Breach

What happened

In June 2014, the Manga trading website Mangatraders.com had the usernames and passwords of over 900k users leaked on the internet (approximately 855k of the emails were unique). The passwords were weakly hashed with a single iteration of MD5 leaving them vulnerable to being easily cracked.

Exposed data

Recommended actions

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