Town of Salem
Original Release Date: 1/8/2019
Summary
Personal details of 7.6 million users of BlankMediaGames’ browser-based game “Town of Salem” were exposed after its servers were hacked. The exfiltrated data includes usernames, email addresses, passwords in various hashing formats, IP addresses, game and forum activity, and purchased premium game features. No payment details were revealed. The data was sent to DeHashed, a commercial data breach indexing site and shared with the similar Have I Been Pwned site. Town of Salem users are advised to visit either website to determine if their information was exposed. All users are encouraged to change their account passwords as well as passwords for any other account that shares the same credentials. BlackMediaGames published a forum post addressing the issue here.
