myRepoSpace Data Breach

What happened

In July 2015, the Cydia repository known as myRepoSpace was hacked and user data leaked publicly. Cydia is designed to facilitate the installation of apps on jailbroken iOS devices. The repository service was allegedly hacked by @its_not_herpes and 0x8badfl00d in retaliation for the service refusing to remove pirated tweaks.

Exposed data

Recommended actions

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