Get Revenge On Your Ex Data Breach (2022)

On September 9, 2022, the personal data of nearly 79,000 people appeared in a public hacking forum after a breach at Get Revenge On Your Ex, a website that allowed users to post damaging information about former partners. The incident exposed both customers of the service and the individuals they targeted, creating a single dataset that mixes real identities, contact details, and plain-text credentials.

Reported Details from the Breach

The primary disclosure on Have I Been Pwned states that the Get Revenge On Your Ex breach occurred in 2022 and includes 79K unique email addresses. Exposed information encompasses names, email addresses, phone numbers, physical addresses, IP addresses, purchase histories, and plain-text passwords. The leak-site listing and forum posts do not specify the exact attack vector or initial access method. Get Revenge On Your Ex did not respond to outreach attempts at the time of disclosure.

This was not a ransomware extortion campaign with a public countdown; instead, the dataset was simply uploaded and shared freely on a well-known hacking forum, increasing the chance it has circulated among identity thieves, stalkers, and script kiddies for years.

Why This Matters for You and Your Family

If your data was among the 79,000 records, the exposure reaches far beyond one awkward website. Names paired with physical addresses and phone numbers can fuel harassment or identity theft. Plain-text passwords are especially dangerous because many people reuse the same password across banking, email, and social media. An attacker who obtains your credentials from this breach can test them elsewhere within minutes.

Children and teens are not immune. If a parent used a family email or shared device to interact with the site, or if an ex-partner listed a child’s name or school details in a revenge post, that information is now public. The combination of home address, phone number, and email creates a direct path for doxxing that can affect every member of the household.

Doxxing and Identity-Chain Risks

The real damage often begins after the initial leak. Attackers chain disparate pieces of data: an email from this breach links to a username on Discord or Roblox, which links to a gamertag, which links to a streaming account, eventually revealing your full name, current address, and family relationships. Once the chain is built, targeted harassment, swatting, or financial fraud becomes straightforward.

IP addresses and purchase histories add another layer. They can confirm locations, reveal shopping habits, or expose financial details that make social-engineering attacks more convincing. What started as revenge material can evolve into long-term identity compromise that follows you and your family for years.

What to Do

• Run a DoxxScan to map every link between your handles, emails, phone numbers, and real identity, with cleanup handled by specialists.
• Rotate the password used on Get Revenge On Your Ex anywhere it is reused and enable 2FA through an authenticator app rather than SMS.
• Enable continuous DoxxScan monitoring across 13.1B+ breach records and 100+ platforms so the next exposure is caught in hours, not years.
• Cover the household with DoxxScan family protection that extends to dependents and children’s gaming accounts, which frequently become targets when credential leaks cascade into account takeovers.
• Let remediation specialists manage takedown requests for any revenge posts or resold data that surface on forums and data-broker sites.

The breach of Get Revenge On Your Ex illustrates how even obscure websites can expose deeply personal information that fuels identity theft and harassment long after the initial incident. A forward-looking approach means treating every leaked credential and address as an active threat rather than a past event. DoxxScan by GalaxyWarden delivers continuous monitoring across 13.1 billion+ breach records and more than 100 platforms, AI-powered identity-chain mapping that connects online handles to real-world identities, and hands-on remediation by specialists who handle removal work for you and your entire household, including children’s gaming accounts that often become entry points for further compromise.
