Technic Data Breach

What happened

In November 2018, the Minecraft modpack platform known as Technic suffered a data breach. Technic promptly disclosed the breach and advised that the impacted data included over 265k unique users' email and IP addresses, chat logs, private messages and passwords stored as bcrypt hashes with a work factor of 13. Technic self-submitted the breach to HIBP.

Exposed data

Recommended actions

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