About This Breach
In October 2017, Avifauna, a Danish ecommerce platform specializing in pet supplies, suffered a data breach affecting nearly 35 thousand unique records. The exposed data includes email addresses and MD5 hashed and salted passwords. Despite salting, the use of MD5 leaves passwords vulnerable to modern cracking techniques. Adopting secure, up-to-date hashing algorithms is essential to ensure strong protection of user credentials.
