MyHeritage announced a security breach.

An attacker made off with account details for over 92 million MyHeritage users.

A security researcher found an archive on a third-party server containing the personal details of 92,283,889 MyHeritage users.

The archive contained only emails and hashed passwords, but not payment card details or DNA test results.

User accounts are safe, as the passwords were hashed using a per-user unique cryptographic key.
