What Happened
In April 2024, over half a million records taken from the Italian gaming website Multiplayer.it were posted to a popular hacking forum. The impacted data included email addresses, usernames and salted MD5 password hashes. Multiplayer.it subsequently confirmed the breach dated back 6 years to September 2018 and was merely re-posted in 2024.
