Rambler Data Breach

What happened

In late 2016, a data dump of almost 100M accounts from Rambler, sometimes referred to as "The Russian Yahoo", was discovered being traded online. The data set provided to Have I Been Pwned included 91M unique usernames (which also form part of Rambler email addresses) and plain text passwords. According to Rambler, the data dates back to March 2014.

Exposed data

Recommended actions

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