Usernames, passwords and email addresses belonging to members of a MU Explicito community were posted on Pastebin as a result of a hacking operation that accessed their servers.

DataBreaches informs that 35 users and the site's administrator were affected. Unfortunately, all their passwords were published in clear text.

Game related website databases seem to be highly targeted by hackers in the past period. In some cases the cybercriminals are after accounts, especially in situations where they come with credit cards attached, while in others they merely want credentials which they can utilize to access other more important assets that might be protected by the same username and password.

The website seems to be back online but if its webmasters don't enhance the security measures that guard it, they might very well be targeted once again.
