Game24h.vn is an organization known by its alias and headquartered in Vietnam. It operates an online service that maintains user accounts, as indicated by the exposure of its user database in a security incident. The organization’s primary activities are not detailed in the available sources, but it is recognized as a Vietnamese‑based entity. Its presence in the digital space is sufficient to have attracted the attention of threat actors seeking user credential data.

On 28 October 2020, a threat actor posted on a hacker forum offering for sale stolen user databases from seventeen companies, including Game24h.vn. The advertised collection comprised roughly thirty‑four million records, with Game24h.vn’s contribution consisting of email addresses and passwords protected by MD5 hashing. The broker claimed no direct role in the original breaches and stated that the datasets were being resold after prior private transactions. In addition to emails and password hashes, some of the other datasets in the bundle contained names, contact details, financial information, or national identifiers, though the specific fields exposed for Game24h.vn were limited to the email and password data mentioned. At the time of the posting, only one of the seventeen affected companies had publicly acknowledged the breach, while the remainder, including Game24h.vn, had not issued confirmation.

The incident highlights the reuse of credential data across multiple sectors, as the bundle also drew from e‑commerce, education, and entertainment organizations. Game24h.vn’s inclusion in this aggregation underscores the value attackers place on Vietnamese‑based user repositories. No further public disclosures about subsequent remediation or regulatory actions for Game24h.vn are available in the cited source.
