VimeWorld Data Breach

What happened

In October 2018, the Russian Minecraft service VimeWorld suffered a data breach that was later redistributed as part of a larger corpus of data. The data included 3.1M records of usernames, email and IP addresses and passwords stored as either MD5 or bcrypt hashes.

Exposed data

Recommended actions

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