In January 2016, the online virtual world known as Onverse was hacked and 800k accounts were exposed. Along with email and IP addresses, the site also exposed salted MD5 password hashes.

Exposed data

Recommended actions

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