Tamodo Data Breach

What happened

In February 2020, the affiliate marketing network Tamodo suffered a data breach which was subsequently shared on a popular hacking forum. The incident exposed almost 500k accounts including names, email addresses, dates of birth and passwords stored as bcrypt hashes. Tamodo failed to respond to multiple attempts to report the breach via published communication channels.

Exposed data

Recommended actions

• Change your Tamodo 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 Tamodo — 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.
