Imavex data breach

What happened
In August 2021, the website development company Imavex suffered a data breach that exposed 878 thousand unique email addresses. The data included user records containing names, usernames and password material with some records also containing genders and partial credit card data, including the last 4 digits of the card and expiry date. Hundreds of thousands of form submissions and orders via Imavex customers were also exposed and contained further personal information of submitters and the contents of the form. The compromised system was subsequently sunset in January 2024 and all customer data impacted by the incident was permanently deleted.

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.
- Watch for scam calls and SIM swaps. Be suspicious of calls and texts that claim to be from your bank or a courier. Ask your mobile operator for a port-out or SIM-change PIN if it offers one.
- Check your bank statements. Review recent card and account transactions and report anything you do not recognise. If full card numbers were exposed, ask your bank to replace the card.
