What happened

In July 2022, the Chinese adult website Hjedd was found to be leaking more than 13M customer records which subsequently appeared on a popular hacking forum. The exposed data included email and IP addresses, usernames and passwords stored as bcrypt hashes.

  • Email addresses
  • IP addresses
  • Passwords
  • Usernames

What to do if you had an account

  1. Change the password. Change your password on this service. If you used the same password anywhere else, change it there too: attackers try leaked email and password pairs on other sites automatically. A password manager makes one unique password per site practical.
  2. Turn on two-step sign-in. Enable two-factor authentication where the service offers it, preferably with an authenticator app or a passkey. A leaked password alone is then not enough to get in.
  3. Expect targeted phishing. Leaked contact details are used to write convincing fake messages that mention the breached company or your real name. Do not click links in unexpected emails or texts about this account; go to the site by typing its address.
