Multiplayer.it Data Breach

What happened

In April 2024, over half a million records taken from the Italian gaming website Multiplayer.it were posted to a popular hacking forum. The impacted data included email addresses, usernames and salted MD5 password hashes. Multiplayer.it subsequently confirmed the breach dated back 6 years to September 2018 and was merely re-posted in 2024.

Exposed data

Recommended actions

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