Breach Database / Technic

Yes — Technic was breached.

What happened

In November 2018, the Minecraft modpack platform known as Technic suffered a data breach. Technic promptly disclosed the breach and advised that the impacted data included over 265k unique users' email and IP addresses, chat logs, private messages and passwords stored as bcrypt hashes with a work factor of 13. Technic self-submitted the breach to HIBP.

What data was exposed

What to do right now

  1. Change your password for this service now. And change it anywhere you reused the same password — attackers try leaked passwords on other sites within hours ("credential stuffing").
  2. Turn on two-factor authentication. Even a leaked password is useless against an account protected by a second factor. Prefer an authenticator app over SMS.
  3. Expect convincing phishing emails. Attackers use breached details to write personalized emails. Be suspicious of any message referencing this service.
  4. Check your other accounts on Have I Been Pwned. Your email address may appear in other breaches you don't know about yet.
  5. Monitor the apps you use going forward. Clearly watches the breach record for the companies behind your apps and alerts you the moment one appears.
