1. Jul 01, 2016  Millions of passwords from the massive password hack at Myspace have been dumped online for anyone to access. Thomas White, a security researcher also known under the pseudonym TheCthulhu, has.
2. While the report by LeakedSource of the MySpace hack comes just weeks after the LinkedIn breach revelation, 'I don't think social media sites are any more of a target than other sites,' Hunt says.

Of the 360 million, 111,341,258 accounts had a username attached to it and 68,493,651 had a secondary password (some did not have a primary password).” When contacted, MySpace didn’t respond. However, here is a list of top 15 most used passwords on MySpace along with top 15 email domains.

There's an oft-repeated adage in the world of cybersecurity: There are two types of companies, those that have been hacked, and those that don't yet know they have been hacked.

MySpace, the social media behemoth that was, is apparently in the second category. The same hacker who was selling the data of more than 164 million LinkedIn users last week now claims to have 360 million emails and passwords of MySpace users, which would be one of the largest leaks of passwords ever. And it looks like the data is being circulated in the underground by other hackers as well.

It's unclear when the data was stolen from MySpace, but both the hacker, who's known as Peace, and one of the operators of LeakedSource, a paid hacked data search engine that also claims to have the credentials, said it's from a past, unreported, breach.

Neither Peace nor LeakedSource provided a sample of the hacked data. But Motherboard gave LeakedSource the email addresses of three staffers and two friends who had an account on the site to verify that the data was real. In all five cases, LeakedSource was able to send back their password.

The database contains 427,484,128 passwords, but there are only 360,213,024 million emails, according to LeakedSource, which announced the leak on Friday in a blog post. Each record in the hacked dataset contains 'an email address, a username, one password and in some cases a second password,' according to the site.

'Once data gets traded a few times, eventually it will make its way to somebody who is not trustworthy to keep it a secret, and then it will spread like branches of a tree.'

'Of the 360 million, 111,341,258 accounts had a username attached to it and 68,493,651 had a secondary password (some did not have a primary password),' wrote LeakedSource, which provides subscribers, who pay between $2 a day to $265 a year, with access to what the site claims is a collection of more than 1.6 billion hacked or leaked records.

LeakedSource wrote that the data was provided by someone who goes by the alias Tessa88, but in an interview with Motherboard, an operator for the site said they were unaware of the real origins of the data breach, such as who originally breached MySpace, nor who has had the data 'this whole time' or when the company was hacked. But this data was bound to leak eventually, they said.

'It's the nature of information. 'Three can keep a secret, if two of them are dead,' the operator told me in an online chat. 'Once data gets traded a few times, eventually it will make its way to somebody who is not trustworthy to keep it a secret, and then it will spread like branches of a tree.'

MySpace did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

The passwords were originally 'hashed' with the SHA1 algorithm, which is known to be weak and easy to crack, LeakedSource wrote. What's worse, the company didn't 'salt' the passwords in the hashing process. Salting means adding a series of random bytes to the end of passwords before hashing them to make them harder to be cracked.

That's why LeakedSource's operator told me they expect to crack 98 or 99 percent of them by the end of the month, though the operator declined to say how many have been already cracked.

While the social network, which was one of the largest site on the internet more than 10 years ago, is now just a shell of its former self, this is still a significant hack. The site, which recently boasted about crossing the threshold of one billion registered users, still had a reported 50 million unique visitors per month as of last year.

If the total numbers are accurate, this is one of the largest data thefts ever.

Also, if the total numbers are accurate, this is one of the largest data thefts ever. And, more importantly, this shows that at some point MySpace got hacked. And either the company never found out, or didn't disclose it, neither publicly nor to its users. If all the data indeed comes from MySpace, this would be the largest breach of emails and passwords ever, topping the list on the data breach awareness site Have I Been Pwned.

Hence, there are still risks for users, even in case of abandoned or dormant accounts, which might still contain personal data that could be leveraged for other attacks. Bottom line, if you still have a MySpace account, change your password. But, most importantly, you should change your password on other, more sensitive services if you were using the same password there too. And please, consider using a password manager such as LastPass or 1Password to help you use unique, strong, passwords for every different website.

UPDATE, 5:01 p.m. ET: On Friday afternoon, the hacker known as Peace put the MySpace hacked data up for sale on the dark web market The Real Deal. Peace is asking for 6 Bitcoin (roughly $2,800) for the stolen passwords and emails.

'I'll put listing for sale before idiots start spreading it,' Peace told me in an online chat.

The breach notification site LeakedSource claims that social networking website MySpace has been hacked, with 360 million credentials containing 427 million encrypted passwords compromised. But LeakedSource acknowledges the age of the credentials is unknown. And the veracity of the data remains in question.

Earlier this month, Leaked Source, which provides a search engine for hacked data and charges a fee to subscribe, also reported that 170 million credentials appear to have been compromised in the 2012 breach of social networking site LinkedIn.

'LeakedSource has obtained and added a copy of this data to its ever-growing searchable repository of leaked data,' the company says in a blog about the apparent MySpace leak. 'This database was provided to us by a user who goes by the alias Tessa88@exploit.im, and has given us permission to name them in this blog.'

Each leaked credential 'may contain an email address, a username, one password and in some cases a second password,' LeakSource says. Passwords were hashed with the SHA1 algorithm with no salting, the company notes.

Regarding how far back the hacked information might date, LeakedSource tells Information Security Media Group via Twitter, 'We don't have any clue; nothing in the data suggests a date.'

MySpace did not immediately respond to an ISMG request for comment.

The same hacker who was selling LinkedIn credentials has claimed to have gained access to the MySpace credentials, the website Motherboard reports. Neither the hacker nor LeakedSource provided a sample of the hacked MySpace data for verification of its authenticity, Motherboard reports.

A Record-Breaking Breach?

The breach, if confirmed, could be a record-breaker.

'If it turns out to be legitimate, this would certainly be one of largest - if not the largest - breaches of credentials we've seen to date,' Troy Hunt, who runs the free 'Have I Been Pwned?' service, which alerts users when their registered email addresses appear in public data dumps - tells ISMG.

'The significance of a breach like this is always twofold: access to the accounts on the site via leaked credentials and access to other accounts via credential reuse.'

LinkedIn Hack

In the wake of the LinkedIn breach, on May 18, LinkedIn CISO Cory Scott said the company will invalidate all passwords that haven't been changed since 2012. 'We have begun to invalidate passwords for all accounts created prior to the 2012 breach that haven't updated their password since that breach,' he said. 'We will be letting individual members know if they need to reset their password.'

LinkedIn said it's also begun legal action to attempt to get the password dump taken down, although by some accounts the data was stolen by a Russian cybercriminal, meaning legal moves will probably have no effect. 'We have demanded that parties cease making stolen password data available and will evaluate potential legal action if they fail to comply,' Scott said. 'In the meantime, we are using automated tools to attempt to identify and block any suspicious activity that might occur on affected accounts.'

While the report by LeakedSource of the MySpace hack comes just weeks after the LinkedIn breach revelation, 'I don't think social media sites are any more of a target than other sites,' Hunt says. 'It's more likely a reflection of sites with large volumes of users being a high target. We've seen a spate of dating site hacks recently too.'

As for who might be behind the latest hack attack, Hunt says: 'It's always hard to attribute malicious activity like this purely based on what we see in the breach data. This attack looks to be quite old too due to the relatively small portion of Gmail accounts, although that could also be representative of the fact that the MySpace heyday has well and truly passed.'

Many Questions

Cameron Camp, a security researcher at ESET, a security services firm, questions the veracity of the leaked MySpace data. 'I looked at their list, and the top supposedly hacked password is 'homelesspa' with a purported 855,478 examples. I find that hard to believe. The rest of the top ten are more frequently found on the big lists of common passwords, but they still don't map to what you'd expect, in terms of frequency/distributions that are typical on big breaches.

'Also, due to some accounts having two passwords, there are 427.4 million passwords for only 360 million users. Which begs the question, why were they keeping a list of multiple passwords per account?'

Social media site are big targets because they offer a wealth of information scammers can use for ID theft for resale or future exploits, Camp says. 'Combine that with the staggering amount of information people either share directly or that can be inferred - like family, physical location, etc., and it becomes a goldmine for scammers.'
