Vermillion Data Breach

What happened

In August 2014, the Roblox hacking forum Vermillion suffered a data breach that exposed over 8k subscriber records. The breach of the MyBB forum exposed email and IP addresses, usernames, dates of birth and salted password hashes.

Exposed data

Recommended actions

• Change your Vermillion 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 Vermillion — 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.
