DaniWeb Data Breach (2015)

DaniWeb, a platform combining technology and social elements, encountered a data breach towards the end of 2015. This intrusion led to the unveiling of about 1.1 million user accounts, revealing their email and IP addresses. These records also came with passwords, albeit protected using salted MD5 hashing. Despite this, DaniWeb clarified that the exposed password hashes and their corresponding salts were erroneous.
