Hackers Leak 1.4 Billion Tencent User Accounts Online
-
“A threat actor named “Fenice” has leaked 1.4 billion user accounts which they claim belong to Tencent (Tencent.com), a Chinese internet giant and technology company. Tencent is widely recognized for its diverse range of services, including social networks, music streaming, web portals, e-commerce, mobile games, internet services, payment systems, smartphones, and multiplayer online games. It is worth noting that Fenice is the same threat actor who, on August 6, 2024, leaked the personal data of 3 billion users breached from the background lookup platform National Public Data. This data included plain-text social security numbers (SSNs). The Hackread.com research team suspects that this database originates from the “Mother of All Breaches” (MOAB), a massive data leak uncovered by cybersecurity researcher Bob Diachenko in January 2024. MOAB comprises over 26 billion records from 4,144 breaches, spanning 3,876 domains. These domains include well-known sites like LinkedIn, MySpace, Twitter, and Adobe, as well as various government organizations and public bodies including 1.5 billion accounts from Tencent, 504 million accounts from Weibo and 127 million accounts from Badoo among others. According to the hacker, Tencent data includes 1.4 billion records, containing 44GB in compressed form and expanding to 500GB when uncompressed. The data is in JSON format and contains fields such as email, mobile numbers, and QQ IDs. The presence of timestamps and storage paths suggests that this data was processed on May 9, 2023.”
