ESEA hacked.

This is nearly a month late but I noticed there was no mention of it and people may not be all that active on ESEA or Reddit's Global Offensive sub where this was posted everywhere.

E-Sports Entertainment Association (ESEA), one of the largest competitive video gaming communities on the planet, was hacked last December. As a result, a database containing 1.5 million player profiles was compromised.

The leaked records include registration date, city, state (or province), last login, username, first and last name, bcrypt hash, email address, date of birth, zip code, phone number, website URL, Steam ID, Xbox ID, and PSN ID.

In an official statement posted to their website, ESEA says that the hacker demanded a $100,000 ransom.

Can search your username to check if your account was compromised here.

ESEA wrote: We disclosed the personally identifiable information in our announcement to the community on December 30, which included “usernames, emails, private messages, IPs, mobile phone numbers (for SMS messages), forum posts, hashed passwords, and hashed secret question answers. All ESEA user account passwords are using bcrypt, an industry best practice for securing passwords. ESEA does not store any sensitive payment information (credit card, bank account, etc.), so any payments made on the ESEA website, or through third parties, have not been compromised.
