The Town of Salem browser development game is affected by datalek – Games – News

BlackMediaGames, developer of the browser-based game Town of Salem, was hit by a data breach in late December. Data from 7.6 million users could be found on the street.

The leak was announced by DeHashed, a search engine for websites and email addresses that are victims of hacking and malware. DeHashed in turn received the information from an anonymous informant who had managed to access the developer's complete database via the BlankMediaGames server. Disclosed data includes usernames, email addresses, passwords, IP addresses, game and forum activity and payment details. Players who purchased some premium features from Town of Salem also found billing data vulnerable, according to DeHashed.

This is the first time that BlackMediaGames is the victim of a security vulnerability. DeHashed ironically calls the fact that it is an entry-level vulnerability, known as lfi / rfi or in its entirety: local file inclusion / remote file inclusion. In the meantime, the vulnerability was also confirmed via the Twitter account of Have I Was Pwned . The developer BlackMediaGames has been informed of the problems, but has not yet given an official answer.
