PvPLive.net

In February 2017 the esports news and media platform PvPLive suffered a significant data breach. The incident involved the exposure of a database containing user information. The hack was attributed to a security vulnerability that allowed unauthorized access to the web server backend. Leaked data included personal identifiers and account credentials. The breach impacted thousands of registered users who followed competitive gaming and esports news. Shortly after the incident and subsequent financial difficulties the platform ceased operations and its domain was eventually liquidated.
