The passwords of more than 2.2 million users of a gaming and cryptocurrency website were dumped online after dual data breaches. Security researcher Troy Hunt discovered databases online with information from 1.4 million GateHub accounts and 800,000 EpicBot accounts. GateHub acknowledged that it had been hacked over the summer, although it seems now the breach was bigger than the company revealed. The leaking of password data can be especially harmful, as bad actors can use this information to gain unauthorized access to users personal and financial accounts.
