Emuparadise suffers data breach, 1.1 million accounts affected
The once-beloved romsite, Emuparadise, has suffered a data breach. It seems a few months before the site had announced it would be removing all warez, account information of over 1 million users of its users had been breached. Haveibeenpwned, a website dedicated to tracking compromised accounts, has just reported that Emuparadise was involved in such an event. The breach took place in April 2018, though it seems this was only revealed now, as those who have accounts on the Emuparadise forums have been receiving emails this morning from Haveibeenpwned denoting a security issue. 1,131,299 registered accounts have been affected. As always, whenever these data breaches occur, it’s wise to check if you were part of the leaked accounts, and to change your passwords immediately if so.
