German Telekom moved one of its services, but a minor glitch in the process caused users’ data to get mixed up during the software upgrade. For example, the incorrect synchronization caused a different email address to appear in users’ accounts instead of their set. The service provider has detected the error and has already fixed it – but still recommended a password change for customers.
In April last year, the forum of encryption solutions provider Etherum was hacked, and more than 16,000 user IDs, passwords, email addresses, and other data were compromised. The company is undoubtedly embarrassed by the leak, but at least it can be said that the data was adequately protected; for example, passwords only had the hash ID on the system.

Trillian is one of the most popular chat clients, allowing you to connect to multiple platforms simultaneously. It has attracted the attention of hackers as well as users. The application has not been hacked, but the vBulletin forum has been, and many users’ names and email addresses have been compromised. The passwords are protected by MD5 encryption, which can be decrypted, but it takes time.
According to a Canonical announcement, the Ubuntu Forum has been attacked, and 2 million users’ data compromised. The username and email address were obtained during the attack, but the passwords were not accessed.
A massive 127 million users have had their data stolen from Badoo, including email addresses, usernames, and password hashes.
