HLTV

In 2016, a massive data leak from HLTV, a popular Counter-Strike website, exposed the personal information of over 611,000 users. The leaked data included emails, real names, passwords, usernames, and website activity.

The leak was caused by a vulnerability in HLTVs security system that allowed an attacker to access the websites database. The attacker then released the data online, where it was widely distributed and used by criminals for phishing and other malicious purposes.

The HLTV data leak was a major security breach that had a significant impact on the online gaming community. It is a reminder of the importance of protecting personal data online and using strong security measures to prevent unauthorized access.
