Just a warning as many of our users use SocialBlade, they were hacked a few days ago.
Social Blade Data Breach Notification
Dear Social Blade User,We want you to be aware of an incident involving your Social Blade account information. While we believe the actual impact of this incident is minimal, we want to ensure you have the correct information and tools to keep your account secure and we believe you have a right to know what happened.
What happened
On December 14th we were notified of a potential data breach whereby an individual had acquired exports our user database and were attempting to sell it on a hacker forum. Samples were posted and we verified that they were indeed real. It appears this individual made use of a vulnerability on our website to gain access to our database.
Please be assured, the data leaked does not include any credit card information, but it does include other data that could be considered personal information. Notable pieces of information include email addresses, IP addresses, password hashes, client ids and tokens for our business API users, auth tokens for connected accounts, and many other pieces of non-personal and internal data. A very small subset of the data (about a tenth of a percent) also included addresses. While account password hashes were leaked, we have never stored your password in plain text, so your password is still secure.
Yes, passwords are hashed, but they can be cracked if the passwords were easy. It seems tokens were also a part of the breach. I suggest changing your passwords (if you used the same pass on SocialBlade and other websites).
That is all! Stay safe.
