PayAsUGym data breach: 400K accounts exposed
Severity: high · Patch status: no-fix-needed · Since 2016-12-17
In December 2016, an attacker breached PayAsUGym's website exposing over 400k customers' personal data. The data was consequently leaked publicly and broadly distributed via Twitter. The leaked data contained personal information including email addresses and passwords hashed using MD5 without a salt. Exposed data: browser user agent details, email addresses, ip addresses, names, partial credit card data, passwords, phone numbers, website activity. The breach dates from Dec 15, 2016; Have I Been Pwned loaded it on Dec 17, 2016.
What to do
- If you had a PayAsUGym 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.
