An authenticated breach index dates the event to July 2015 and reports 2,460,787 unique email identifiers. The index says that a further 368,000 accounts were added in March 2016 after the initial corpus of more than two million; the total is not a unique-person count or a count of accounts active today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Cp>The authenticated structured data classes are dates of birth, email addresses, passwords, and usernames. The index narrative also says IP addresses were present in the forum database, but its current “compromised data” list omits IP addresses. Because of that inconsistency, IP addresses are not added to the structured data classes. Passwords were stored as salted hashes using a weak implementation that allowed many to be cracked rapidly; they are not presented as plaintext passwords.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Ch2>External and local counts\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>Separate from the 2,460,787 external unique-email measure, the production \u003Ccode>ipmart-emails.txt\u003C\u002Fcode> job processed 2,082,145 lines and produced the same number of unique email associations in the live index. The local job contains email only; birth dates, usernames, passwords, and IP fields are not searchable locally. The 378,642 difference between external and local scope cannot be explained without version or filtering evidence, and the two counts are not added together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Ch2>Service identity and evidence boundary\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>A 28 December 2015 web archive verifies that iPmart was a forum with Android, iPhone, Symbian, BlackBerry, and navigation sections. The current domain redirects to a parked page rather than the original forum, so the historical service link uses that archive. No current first-party incident notice or independent technical report detailing the access method was found; no attack-vector or actor claim is made beyond the authenticated index's statement that the forum was hacked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\u003Ch2>Safe response\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\u003Cp>An email match does not establish that the person's birth date, username, or password hash exists in the local system. Someone who independently knows the password used on the forum in 2015 and still reuses that or a similar password on an active account should replace the reused password with a unique one, enable multi-factor authentication especially on the email account, and verify unexpected messages using the old forum or mobile-software context.\u003C\u002Fp>","","iPmart 2015 Data Breach (2.5 Million Email Identifiers)","The iPmart breach contains 2,460,787 external unique emails; the local email index has 2,082,145 records.
