PropTiger Data Breach

What happened?

In January 2018, the Indian property website PropTiger suffered a data breach which resulted in a 3.46GB database file being exposed and subsequently shared extensively on a popular hacking forum 2 years later. The exposed data contained both user records and login histories with over 2M unique customer email addresses. Exposed data also included additional personal attributes such as names, dates of birth, genders, IP addresses and passwords stored as MD5 hashes. PropTiger advised they believe the usability of the data is "limited" due to how certain data attributes were generated and stored. The data was provided to HIBP by dehashed.com .

The breach date in the public record is January 30, 2018. The record was added to the catalogue on March 24, 2020 and last updated there on March 24, 2020.
