Reincubate Data Breach

What happened

In October 2020, the app data company Reincubate suffered a data breach which exposed a backup from November 2017 (the newest record in the data appeared several months earlier). The data included over 616k unique email addresses, names and passwords stored as PBKDF2 hashes.

Exposed data

Recommended actions

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