Mathway

Summary

Mathway, an educational tool used to assist students in understanding and solving math problems, has reported a breach affecting roughly 25 million users. Breached information includes email addresses and hashed passwords – many of which may belong to school-age children. The hacking group known as ShinyHunters claims that the intrusion occurred in January 2020, and recently made the data dump available for purchase on both dark web forums and Telegram channels for approximately $4,000. Affected users are urged to change their Mathway account password, as well as any other accounts that use the same password. Further details can be found in the ZDNet article.
