What happened?
In June 2014, the Manga trading website Mangatraders.com had the usernames and passwords of over 900k users leaked on the internet (approximately 855k of the emails were unique). The passwords were weakly hashed with a single iteration of MD5 leaving them vulnerable to being easily cracked.
When did it happen?
The breach date in the public record is June 9, 2014. The record was added to the catalogue on June 10, 2014 and last updated there on May 13, 2019.
What information was reported as exposed?
- Email addresses
- Passwords
These are incident-level categories. The record does not prove that every category was exposed for every affected person.
Who may be affected?
This record may be relevant to people who had an account or other relationship with Manga Traders or used mangatraders.com around June 9, 2014. A catalogue entry does not establish that every customer was affected or that every listed data category applied to each person. Compare the record with an official notice addressed to you.
What should you do?
Compare the organization, dates, and information categories with any notice you received. Use contact details you independently confirm.
Change exposed or reused passwords, begin with your email account, and turn on multi-factor authentication where available.
Treat unexpected breach follow-ups with caution. Do not use links or phone numbers in a suspicious message; contact the organization directly.
Choose actions that match the information involved. If you find signs that someone is using your identity, the Federal Trade Commission provides a personal recovery plan at IdentityTheft.gov.
