If you haven’t changed your password yet on Lifeboat, you should probably get to it. Keep an eye out there over the next couple of days to see if it shows up. Regardless, if you’re thinking you were affected by this breach, you should be able to check for your email address over on which will show you if your address was part of said breach. This was solely targeted at Minecraft: Pocket Edition, which makes us wonder what the actual goal of this breach was. If you play the desktop version of Minecraft, this does not affect anything regarding your information. This breach actually happened back in January 2016, but for some reason, whether it is still under investigation or from some other reason, this wasn’t reported until now publicly. The security breach has apparently affected all of those accounts, with all of the information and sensitive data from the 7+ million accounts having been extracted, according to online security expert Troy Hunt. The site even offers paid VIP status to help support it.
MINECRAFT LIFEBOAT VIP PORTABLE
Lifeboat is a big fan site for the portable version of Minecraft, boasting over 7 million accounts and mainly focusing on Minecraft: Pocket Edition. So far Minecraft on any platform has managed to stay fairly secure but unfortunately that isn’t the case anymore as a major fan site for Minecraft: Pocket Edition, called Lifeboat, was hacked. However, when they are big in terms of accounts affected, like the Playstation hacks, it tends to get noticed. Fan sites and generally anything online getting hacked isn’t always news, even when it is video gaming related.
