About This Breach
The eight classes are biographies, dates of birth for administrator accounts, emails, gender, geographic locations, IPs, salted SHA-1 password hashes, and usernames. Birth dates must not be generalized to all users. A salt is not secret and does not weaken a properly salted hash merely by being present; SHA-1’s speed is the current-standard limitation.
Financial data, physical addresses, phones, and verified full names are not classes. This event is separate from the 2014 mixed Coupon Mom or Armor Games credential collection. A record does not establish identity, an Armor Games account or player role, administrator status, age, location, password ownership, or misuse.
If the old password genuinely belonged to the person and was reused elsewhere, it should be replaced. Gaming-profile, biography, and administrator-birth-date associations must remain private.
