In 2017, a massive data breach occurred on aimjunkies.com, a website that offered cheating software for online games such as Call of Duty, Battlefield, and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. The leak exposed 166,381 records containing sensitive user information, including emails, usernames, passwords, and IP addresses.

The breach was attributed to a vulnerability in the websites code that allowed an unauthorized actor to access the stored user data. The leaked information quickly spread across the internet, posing a significant security risk to the affected users. Many of the exposed passwords were weak and easily crackable, making them vulnerable to account takeover attempts. The leaked IP addresses also raised concerns about potential doxing and harassment of the affected individuals.

The leak sparked outrage and concern within the gaming community, as it highlighted the risks associated with using cheating software and the importance of protecting personal data. The website subsequently took down the affected pages and launched an investigation into the incident. They also advised affected users to change their passwords and be cautious of phishing attempts.
