What happened
In June 2020, the online antiques marketplace LiveAuctioneers suffered a data breach which was subsequently sold online then extensively redistributed in the hacking community. The data contained 3.4 million records including names, email and IP addresses, physical addresses, phones numbers and passwords stored as unsalted MD5 hashes. The data was provided to HIBP by breachbase.pw.

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.
