Bleeping Computer a well-known information security and technology news publication was being created in the year 2004. In their recent news posts, they stated how the cybersecurity intelligence firm Cyble reported them about the threat actors who claim to be selling a list of millions of Tokopedia usernames and their associated de-hashed, or cracked, passwords for just $8,000. Along with that, Cyble has stated that they acquired the Tokopedia database and users can check if their account has been exposed via Cyble’s data breach monitoring platform amibreached.com.

All Tokopedia users should make the assumption that if their passwords is not de-hashed already, it may be in the future, and should immediately change their password to a unique one only used at that site.
