Спрашивай.ру Data Breach

What happened

In May 2015, Спрашивай.ру (a the Russian website for anonymous reviews) was reported to have had 6.7 million user details exposed by a hacker known as "w0rm". Intended to be a site for expressing anonymous opinions, the leaked data included email addresses, birth dates and other personally identifiable data about almost 3.5 million unique email addresses found in the leak.

Exposed data

Recommended actions

• Change your Спрашивай.ру 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 Спрашивай.ру — 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.
