Details about 1.6 million users on the Clash of Kings online forum have been hacked, claims a breach notification site.
The user data from the popular mobile game’s discussion forum were allegedly targeted by a hacker on 14 July.
Tech site ZDNet has reported the leaked data includes email addresses, IP addresses and usernames.
However, users’ passwords have been protected by hashes and salts – well-known cryptographic techniques.
Elex, the Chinese firm behind Clash of Kings and the official forums, did not respond to a request for comment.
There has been a string of forum breaches in recent months, including Darkode – a forum used by hackers.
Those who manage to steal user data often plan to sell it on, according to Ryan Wilk, director at cyber security firm NuData Security.
“Hackers are making a living by selling this data on the Dark Web, they do it because they can pay the bills doing it,” he said.
