A hacker has leaked today the usernames and passwords of nearly 23 million players of Webkinz World, an online children's game managed by Canadian toy company Ganz.

The game has been one of the most successful online children's games of the past decade next to Disney's Club Penguin.
However, today, an anonymous hacker has posted a part of the game's database on a well-known hacking forum. ZDNet has obtained a copy of the leaked file with the help of data breach monitoring service Under the Breach.

The 1 GB file uploaded online contained 22,982,319 pairs of usernames and passwords, with the passwords being encrypted with the MD5-Crypt algorithm.

The hacker allegedly gained access to the game's database using an SQL injection vulnerability present in one of the website's web forms.

We've been told that besides username and password pairs, hackers were also successful in obtaining hashed versions of parents' email addresses; however, this data has not been leaked.
Sources told us that Webkinz staff had detected the intrusion and patched the hacker's point of entry into their systems.
