Security News > 2020 > November > Popular stock photo service hit by data breach, 8.3M records for sale
Stock photo site 123RF has suffered a data breach after a hacker began selling a database containing 8.3 million user records on a hacker forum.
123RF is a popular stock photo and vector site that sells royalty-free images, videos, and audio to be used on websites, printed content, and videos.
Over the past weekend, a known data breach broker began selling a database containing 8.3 million user records stolen from 123RF.com during a data breach.
While the passwords leaked in this data breach were hashed, as explained, it is possible to crack the stolen passwords using brute force tools, word lists, and even online dehashing sites.
When changing your passwords, be sure to use a unique and strong password at every site so that a data breach does not affect your account at other companies.
