Promo Data Breach

What happened

In July 2020, the self-proclaimed "World's #1 Marketing Video Maker" Promo suffered a data breach which was then shared extensively on a hacking forum. The incident exposed 22 million records containing almost 15 million unique email addresses alongside IP addresses, genders, names and salted SHA-256 password hashes. The data was provided to HIBP by dehashed.com.

Recommended actions

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