WoTLabs data breach

What happened

In March 2024, WoTLabs (World of Tanks Statistics and Resources) suffered a data breach and website defacement attributed to "chromebook breachers". The breach exposed 22k forum members' personal data including email and IP addresses, usernames, dates of birth and time zones.

What data leaked

• Dates of birth
• Email addresses
• IP addresses
• Time zones
• Usernames

What to do if you had an account

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Guard against identity fraud. Identity documents and dates of birth cannot be changed like a password. Consider a credit freeze or fraud alert where your country offers one, and be wary of anyone who 'verifies' you using those details.
