No other communication was provided to notify users that their data had potentially been stolen, until noticed was filed with the Washington state attorney general. One month after the hack, on March 11, Manhunt tweeted that “all Manhunt users are required to update their password to ensure it meets the updated password requirements.” Questions have been directed at Manhunt’s handling of the breach, given the lack of notice to its users.
In Washington state alone, 7,700 people were affected, the company revealed. Manhunt claims to have six million users, meaning more than 600,000 people were potentially affected. An attorney representing Manhunt told TechCrunch that 11% of users were impacted by the breach, but failed to provide specific figures.
