An unspecified “private” server was found with the account data of users who signed up for the service, in the largest breach since Equifax last year.
Account data tied to 92 million users of the genealogy and DNA testing service MyHeritage were found on a third-party “private” server in a breach that exposed usernames and passwords of customers.
The breach is the largest since last year’s Equifax leak of 147.9 million pieces of private data ranging from Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses and some driver’s license numbers.
Users who signed up for the service before October 26, 2017 are impacted, according to a MyHeritage statement released on Monday regarding the incident.
“Today, June 4, 2018 at approximately 1 p.m. EST, MyHeritage’s chief information security officer received a message from a security researcher that he had found a file named myheritage containing email addresses and hashed passwords, on a private server outside of MyHeritage,” the statement reads.
