RuneScape Boards data breach

What happened

According to HIBP, the RuneScape Boards forum (rsboards.com) was breached around 2011. The vBulletin-based service is now defunct. The compromised data was later redistributed as part of a larger corpus of leaked credentials.

What was exposed

The breach exposed email addresses, usernames, IP addresses, and salted MD5 password hashes for approximately 223,000 unique accounts.

Who is affected

Around 222,762 user accounts from the RuneScape Boards forum were affected by this breach.

What to do now

If you had an account on RuneScape Boards, change your password on any other services where you may have reused the same credentials. Monitor your email address for suspicious activity and consider using a password manager to maintain unique passwords across different sites.
