Severity: high · Patch status: no-fix-needed · Since 2016-04-24
In February 2016, the online trucking simulator mod TruckersMP suffered a data breach which exposed 84k user accounts. In a first for "Have I Been Pwned", the breached data was self-submitted directly by the organisation that was breached itself. Exposed data: email addresses, passwords, usernames. The breach dates from Feb 25, 2016; Have I Been Pwned loaded it on Apr 24, 2016.
What to do
- If you had a TruckersMP 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.
