About This Breach
In June 2024, EuroNote, a company specializing in the production and sale of 0 Euro souvenir banknotes in Hungary, suffered a data breach that impacted 817,000 users. The compromised data included email addresses and plaintext passwords. Storing passwords in plaintext poses a severe security risk, as it leaves user credentials vulnerable to immediate exploitation in case of a breach. To enhance security, companies should implement strong encryption, adopt bcrypt or Argon2 hashing algorithms, and enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA) to protect user accounts.
