VerticalScope.com, a company that runs multiple support forums on various topics, has suffered a massive data breach in February 2016 when a hacker managed to steal over 45 million user records from its database.
The records, which data breach indexing site LeakedSource has managed to acquire and analyze, contain details from over 1,100 tech support portals VerticalScope is running on different domains.
LeakedSource says the biggest data troves are from sites such as Techsupportforum.com, MobileCampsites.com, Pbnation.com, and Motorcycle.com.
There are no clues on who was behind the data breach, but LeakedSource says the incident took place in February 2016. VerticalScope confirmed the breach, after LeakedSource's staff got ahold of the data on April 27.
Leaked data contains easy-to-crack MD5-hashed passwords
LeakedSource says that for each record they found an email address, a username, an IP address, one or two passwords. Not all records contain all the details for each user.
