Fishing app Fishbrain, which claims over 20 million users, suffered a data breach on August 19 in which cybercriminals stole user data including names, email addresses, phone numbers, and password hashes with salts. Although passwords were not stored in plaintext, the stolen hashes could potentially be cracked depending on the strength of individual passwords and the hashing algorithm used. Fishbrain has since patched the vulnerability, reset all user passwords, and urged users to update their credentials on any other accounts where they used the same password.
