Heroes of Gaia Data Breach

A public breach source reports 179,967 unique emails and the collection-level classes usernames, IPs, browser user-agent details, and website activity; no password class is listed. January 4, 2013 is the date of the newest records in the dataset, not an exact attack or disclosure day.

Website activity is a broad label not proven to mean in-game movement, chat, viewing, or profile history. A user-agent is not a unique device, and an IP is not proof of a person or exact or current location. The local import contains only email-form values selected from heterogeneous tables and produced 176,716 email documents; other fields were not imported.

A result can establish only that an email-form value occurs in this local subset attributed to Heroes of Gaia. It cannot establish a game account or participation, identity, username, IP, device, location, website activity, password, compromise, or misuse. A negative result covers only the 176,716 local associations, and the absence of passwords means this record alone does not require a password change.
