Nulled.cr Data Breach

What happened

In May 2016, the cracking community forum known as Nulled.cr was hacked and 599k user accounts were leaked publicly. The compromised data included email and IP addresses, weak salted MD5 password hashes and hundreds of thousands of private messages between members.

Exposed data

Recommended actions

• Change your Nulled.cr 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 Nulled.cr — 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.
