In March 2014, Boxee, a developer of home theatre PC software, experienced a data breach affecting its user forums. Attackers reportedly obtained the entire vBulletin MySQL database and posted it for download directly on the Boxee forum. The breach exposed data from approximately 160,000 users. Among the compromised information were email addresses, geographic locations, IP addresses, usernames, passwords, birthdates, private messages, linked social profiles, and personal websites.
