Wanelo data breach: 23.2M accounts exposed
Severity: high · Patch status: no-fix-needed · Since 2019-09-30
In approximately December 2018, the digital mall Wanelo suffered a data breach. The data was later placed up for sale on a dark web marketplace along with a collection of other data breaches in April 2019. A total of 23 million unique email addresses were included in the breach alongside passwords stored as either MD5 or bcrypt hashes. After the initial HIBP load, further data containing names, shipping addresses and IP addresses were also provided to HIBP, albeit without direct association to the email addresses and passwords. Exposed data: email addresses, ip addresses, names, passwords, physical addresses. The breach dates from Dec 13, 2018; Have I Been Pwned loaded it on Sep 30, 2019.
What to do
- If you had a Wanelo 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.
