An Xbox Live community with around 35,000 members calledXbox Live Clans suffered a data breach, hackers managing to obtain and leak usernames, represented by email addresses, and password hashes.
The hacker alsa7r posted all the information on Pastebin, potentially exposing all the forum’s members.
At the time of writing, there are no official announcements on the site to alert users on the data breach.
In the meantime, while the website’s administrators are working on securing their customers, Internet users who own an account on Xbox Live Clans are advised to change their account passwords.
Those who utilize the same email address and password combination on other sites are recommended to set up a new password for each account and watch out for malicious operations that may target them.
