What happened
In June 2020 then again in September that same year, Horse Isle "The Secrent Land of Horses" suffered a data breach. The incident exposed 28k unique email addresses along with names, usernames, IP addresses, genders, purchases and plain text passwords. The system also stored and exposed failed password attempts for each user with the password retained in plain text.

- Names
- Passwords

- Usernames
What to do if you had an account
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
