Warframe data breach: 819K accounts exposed
Severity: medium · Patch status: no-fix-needed · Since 2016-07-21
In November 2014, the online game Warframe was hacked and 819k unique email addresses were exposed. Allegedly due to a SQL injection flaw in Drupal, the attack exposed usernames, email addresses and data in a "pass" column which adheres to the salted SHA12 password hashing pattern used by Drupal 7. Digital Extremes (the developers of Warframe), asserts the salted hashes are of "alias names" rather than passwords. Exposed data: email addresses, usernames, website activity. The breach dates from Nov 24, 2014; Have I Been Pwned loaded it on Jul 21, 2016.
What to do
- If you had a Warframe 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.
