Description

Hackers targeted Russian internet giant Mail.ru, compromising over 25 million accounts associated with three game-related forums. The stolen data includes usernames, email addresses, hashed passwords, birthdays, IP addresses, and phone numbers in some cases. Approximately 12 million of the passwords were easily cracked due to their use of the outdated MD5 hashing algorithm.
