About This Breach
In August 2014, the Pokémon RPG website Pokémon Creed was hacked following a dispute with a rival site, Pokémon Dusk. A post on Facebook by "Cruz Dusk" claimed responsibility for the hack and shared the dumped MySQL database on pkmndusk.in. The breach exposed over 116,000 usernames, email addresses, and plain text passwords. This incident highlights the importance of strong cybersecurity practices, particularly when dealing with inter-site conflicts and safeguarding user data.
