Popular mathematics website Mathway experienced a potential breach of its database.

It led to the theft of more than 25 million account credentials.

Mathway is widely used by students and children as a resource in learning maths.

The breach has been linked to a hacking group called Shiny Hunters.

The group began selling the database of more than 25 million Mathway user credentials on illicit websites in early May, offering it for $4,000 (£3,285) in cryptocurrency.

The database reportedly contains email addresses and hashed passwords.
