Evony Breach

In June 2016, Evony, an online multiplayer game, suffered a significant data breach compromising over 33 million user accounts. The exposed data included usernames, email addresses, passwords, and IP addresses. Passwords were stored using unsalted MD5 and SHA-1 hashing, both considered weak encryption methods, making them susceptible to cracking. Notably, common passwords like "123456" were prevalent among users, highlighting poor password practices.
