About This Record
What information was compromised in the LovePlanet incident?
The leaked user credential compilation (LovePlanet_ru.txt) contains explicit authentication pairs. Verified data classes include:
- Account Identifiers: Registered email addresses and platform member logins.
- Authentication Credentials: Plaintext user passwords.
How many accounts were affected?
Rigorous RFC 5322 ASCII canonical verification identified and verified 17,950,673 unique valid email addresses across the exposed member records.
Security advisory & personal identity protection
The public availability of plaintext passwords alongside active email addresses exposes victims to severe credential stuffing and account takeover attacks across external websites. Users are advised to:
- Immediately update passwords on any service where the same or similar passwords were used.
- Deploy a secure password manager to generate complex, isolated passwords for every digital identity.
