Dota 2 forum breach leaks 2 million user accounts
A hacker has taken off with almost two million accounts associated with the forum for popular online multiplayer game, Dota 2.
The hack was carried out last month on July 10. The copy of the leaked database was provided to breach notification site LeakedSource.com, which allows users to search their usernames and email addresses in a wealth of stolen and hacked data.
The hacker took advantage of an SQL injection vulnerability used by the older vBulletin forum software, which powers the community. That allowed them to access the database of limited user data, such as username, email, IP address of the user.
