Ikov RSPS 2016 Data Breach
In February 2016, a player authentication database belonging to Ikov (ikov.org), one of the most prominent RuneScape Private Server (RSPS) gaming communities, was breached and circulated across underground hacking databases.
Exposed Data Types
3- Usernames
- Hashed passwords
- IP addresses
About This Record
The exposed database dump (Ikov.org_SaltedSHA1_Ingame_316k.txt) contains 316,583 registered player accounts. Compromised data points include player usernames, salted MD5/SHA-1 password hashes with accompanying salt values, internal user IDs, and connection IP addresses.
Given the widespread prevalence of credential reuse among online gamers, the exposure of these credentials creates direct exposure to credential-stuffing attacks across gaming networks, Steam, Discord, and primary email accounts.
Players who held an account on the Ikov servers are strongly advised to rotate passwords on any platform where similar credentials were used and secure accounts with multi-factor authentication.
