About This Breach

In mid-2021, Risk Based Security reported that a database from Ducks Unlimited was being traded online. The data, dating back to January 2021, included 1.3 million unique email addresses from both a membership list and a list of website users. The exposed information consisted of names, phone numbers, physical addresses, dates of birth, and passwords stored as unsalted MD5 hashes. This incident highlights the critical need for robust cybersecurity measures to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access and misuse.
