TGBUS Data Breach

What happened

In approximately 2017, it's alleged that the Chinese gaming site known as TGBUS suffered a data breach that impacted over 10 million unique subscribers. Whilst there is evidence that the data is legitimate, due to the difficulty of emphatically verifying the Chinese breach it has been flagged as "unverified". The data in the breach contains usernames, email addresses and salted MD5 password hashes and was provided with support from dehashed.com. Read more about Chinese data breaches in Have I Been Pwned.

Exposed data

Recommended actions

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