The Register reports that data from a January 2021 breach of the Myspace93 parody social-network site has now been ingested by Have I Been Pwned, with more than 46,000 accounts affected. Exposed data included plaintext usernames and passwords, email addresses, and IP addresses. The site's co-creator said trusted community members abused access to a beta app to download server files and an unencrypted credential store.
Why it matters: Affected users face credential-stuffing and account-takeover risk anywhere they reused passwords, especially because the passwords were stored in plaintext. The story also highlights severe password-handling failures and a delayed public accounting of the breach.
