Age of Wushu Database

In 2015, the Age of Wushu game database was compromised, resulting in a data breach that exposed the personal information of 90,349 players. The leaked data included usernames, email addresses, IP addresses, and hashed passwords.

The breach was discovered by a security researcher who found an unsecured database accessible online. The researcher reported the breach to Age of Wushu developer Snail Games, which confirmed the incident and took steps to secure the database.

The leaked data was posted on a public forum, where it was quickly indexed by search engines. This made it possible for anyone to search for usernames or email addresses and view the corresponding passwords. The breach was a major security incident, and it raised concerns about the security of online gaming platforms.
