Description
In September 2013, the file sharing app iMesh was hacked, exposing almost 50 million unique accounts. Three years later the data appeared for sale on a darkweb marketplace and included email addresses, usernames, salted MD5 hashed passwords and IP addresses. In 2018, a huge collection of almost 40 million dehashed credentials from the iMesh breach appeared in a popular hacking forum, resulting in a subsequent influx of credential stuffing using these plaintext credential combinations.
