About This Breach
In December 2018, the photo-sharing social network Fotolog experienced a data breach that exposed 16.7 million unique email addresses. The compromised data also included usernames and unsalted SHA-256 password hashes. The following year, the site was dissolved and transformed into a news platform based in Brčko, Bosnia and Herzegovina. This breach underscores the importance of robust cybersecurity practices to protect user information and minimize vulnerabilities in digital platforms.
