Have I Been Pwned adds 441K accounts stolen by RedLine malware
2021-12-30 20:17

The Have I Been Pwned data breach notification service now lets you check if your email and password are one of 441,000 accounts stolen in an information-stealing campaign using RedLine malware.

To make it easier for others to check if a hacker stole their data in the exposed RedLine malware campaign, Diachenko shared the data with Troy Hunt, who added it to his Have I Been Pwned service.

The RedLine data contains 441,657 unique email addresses stolen by RedLine that can now be searched on Have I Been Pwned.

If your email address is listed in the RedLine malware logs, it's not enough to just change the passwords associated with that email account.

As RedLine targets all of your data, you must change your password for all accounts used on the machine, including corporate VPN and email accounts, and other personal accounts.

Finally, if your email is listed as part of the RedLine records, you should scan your computer using an antivirus software to detect and remove any installed malware.
