About This Breach

The three classes are emails, usernames, and salted MD5 password hashes. The measures do not mean unique people, active players, game accounts, or rows containing every field together. No inference can be made about the age at which an account was opened.

Phones, addresses, payments, IPs, dates of birth, private messages, purchases, and device data are not classes in this record. A record does not establish identity, an AnimeGame account or player role, game activity, password ownership or currentness, field co-occurrence, account takeover, or misuse.

Salted MD5 is not plaintext but is weak by current standards. If the old password genuinely belonged to the person and was reused elsewhere, it should be replaced with a unique password.

Verification and editorial method

LeakData compares the incident name, date, affected-record count, and exposed data types with accessible sources. Unverified fields are not presented as facts, and records are updated when new evidence becomes available.
