About This Breach
In January 2021, BuiltByBit (formerly known as Mc-Market.org), a prominent Australian online marketplace and community platform catering to digital assets and services for gaming communities, suffered a data breach that impacted nearly 5,000 users. The compromised data included email addresses, usernames, and MD5 password hashes. The use of MD5, a deprecated hashing algorithm known for its vulnerabilities, heightened concerns about password security and the risk of cracking hashed credentials through brute-force or rainbow table attacks.
