Operation Endgame 4.0 data breach

4,348,526 accounts · breached June 18, 2026

This data was gathered by malware running on victims' devices, not taken from one company's servers.

What happened

On 18 June 2026, the latest phase of Operation Endgame targeted the SocGholish malware operation, a prolific malware distribution network used to compromise systems and facilitate further cybercrime. Coordinated by international law enforcement agencies with support from Europol and Eurojust, the operation remediated almost 15,000 compromised websites and disrupted more than 100 servers and domains used to distribute malware. Authorities initially provided HIBP with 154k impacted email addresses and more than half a million previously unseen passwords. The following week, a further 4M email addresses and 9M passwords relating to the StealC malware operation also targeted by Operation Endgame were provided, followed by another 131k email addresses the following month, bringing the total to more than 4.3M unique email addresses.

What data leaked

  • Email addresses
  • Passwords

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.
