The breach dates from May 7, 2015; Have I Been Pwned loaded it on Jul 2, 2017.
What to do
- If you had a Evermotion account, change its password and the password of any other account that reused it.
- Turn on multi-factor authentication wherever it is offered.
- Check whether your addresses are in this breach at https://haveibeenpwned.com.
- Expect targeted phishing that quotes the leaked details; verify any unexpected contact out of band.
