Executive Summary
In July 2021, the Android app/game review site AndroidLista (androidlista.com) suffered a data breach exposing 6.6 million user records including email addresses, names, usernames, and salted SHA-1 password hashes; the data was posted to a hacking forum and later added to Have I Been Pwned (October 2023). AndroidLista did not respond to inquiries. The credentials are usable for credential stuffing.
ObscureIQ assessment: Exposure enables phishing, profiling based on app interests, and malware-themed targeting. Platform activity can also reveal device ecosystem and software preferences.
Breach Impact
The exposure of emails, names, usernames, and salted SHA-1 passwords for 6.6 million users enables credential-stuffing and account-takeover where passwords were reused, plus targeted phishing. Salted SHA-1 offers limited protection against cracking.
