Former User data exposed from Webcomix XKCD.
In an incident
practically ripped from the plot of one of its own stories, the webcomic
XKCD reported that user data from its online forum section was found in
an exposed database. XKCD, which labels itself
a “webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language,” posted in a brief
note that portions of its PHPBB user table from its forums showed up in
a leaked data collection. The exposed data includes usernames, email
addresses, salted and hashed passwords, and
some IP addresses from the time of registration.
