leaksear.ch has indexed an ArmA 3 Life user database leak containing 125,358 records, with a listed breach date of May 29, 2018 (leaksear.ch metadata). ArmA 3 Life was a roleplay community built around an Arma 3 modification, while Bohemia Interactive describes Arma 3 as a tactical shooter with single-player, multiplayer, and content-creation features (arma-3-life.fandom.com, www.bohemia.net).
What happened
Public community pages reviewed for this article identify ArmA 3 Life as a roleplay modification and community, and its Steam group lists the group as founded on September 7, 2013, with a notice that the community is no longer active (steamcommunity.com, arma-3-life.fandom.com). The supplied leak metadata identifies a breached user database, but does not specify an exposure vector, threat actor, ransomware claim, third-party compromise, or misconfigured storage source (leaksear.ch metadata).
What data was exposed
The indexed dataset contains user database records with email addresses, usernames, names, hashed passwords, IP addresses, and dates of birth as searchable fields (leaksear.ch metadata). The records also include join dates, member IDs, password salts, and Steam IDs as stored fields (leaksear.ch metadata).
No raw records, password hashes, salts, IP addresses, or Steam IDs are included here.
Why this matters
The combination of email addresses, usernames, dates of birth, IP addresses, and Steam IDs can support targeted phishing, account-recovery abuse, impersonation, and harassment against former community members. Salted password hashes are not plaintext passwords, but affected users should treat them as sensitive, especially if they reused the same password on gaming, email, Steam, or forum accounts. Anyone who used ArmA 3 Life should reset reused passwords, enable two-factor authentication where available, and check whether their own data appears in this leak.
