About This Record
What data was exposed in the Yippi incident?
The leaked SQL dump (yippiweb.sql) comprises core user identity tables (tc_user) alongside Openfire XMPP communication server logs. Compromised data classes include:
- Identity & Account Data: Usernames, nicknames, internal UIDs, and profile photo avatar links.
- Contact Coordinates: User email addresses and international phone numbers.
- Authentication Secrets: MD5-hashed account passwords.
- Geographic & Network Metadata: Registered province/city coordinates and historical client IP addresses.
How many accounts were affected?
Standardized RFC 5322 ASCII verification confirmed 26,569 unique valid email addresses across the database. The broader user table contains over 570,000 profile records, primarily registered via mobile phone numbers.
Security analysis and guidance
Unsalted or poorly protected MD5 password hashes are vulnerable to rapid rainbow-table lookups and brute-force cracking. The exposure of paired mobile numbers and emails elevates risks of targeted smishing and account takeover. Affected users should:
- Change passwords across Yippi and any services where identical credentials were reused.
- Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) wherever supported.
- Exercise heightened caution against unexpected SMS verification codes or password reset prompts.
Verification and editorial method
LeakData compares the incident name, date, affected-record count, and exposed data types with accessible sources. Unverified fields are not presented as facts, and records are updated when new evidence becomes available.
