Artsy
What Happened
In April 2018, the online arts database Artsy suffered a data breach which consequently appeared for sale on a dark web marketplace. Over 1M accounts were impacted and included IP and email addresses, names and passwords stored as salted SHA-512 hashes. The data was provided to HIBP by a source who requested it be attributed to "nano@databases.pw".
