Evony LLC

Evony Gaming, also operating as Evony LLC, is a video game company headquartered in the United States of America. It offers a massively multiplayer online real‑time strategy game that serves as its main platform, complemented by community forums for player interaction. The company is known by these aliases in public references and industry discussions.

In June 2016, the organisation experienced a security breach that compromised over 33 million user accounts across its platform and forums. The exposed data consisted of usernames, email addresses, IP addresses, and passwords that were stored using unsalted MD5 and SHA‑1 hash algorithms. The breach also revealed that many users employed weak passwords such as “123456” and that the integrated Facebook sign‑in feature could have exposed Facebook credentials.

Analysis of the incident indicated that the company did not publicly confirm issuing security notifications to the affected users following the breach. The reliance on outdated hashing methods and the prevalence of simple passwords highlighted certain security practices in place at the time. Additionally, the breach underscored the risks associated with integrating third‑party authentication without adequate safeguards. These details constitute the publicly available information regarding Evony Gaming’s operations and the notable security event associated with its services.
