Was your data in the Raaga breach?

2025 · raaga.com · ~10,225,145 accounts exposedCritical severity · 10/10

Raaga (raaga.com) suffered a data breach in 2025 that exposed around 10,225,145 accounts. If you had an account, some of your personal data may be circulating in leaked databases. The fastest way to know is to check your own email — free, in about 30 seconds, no password required.

What happened

In December 2025, data allegedly breached from the Indian streaming music service "Raaga" was posted for sale to a popular hacking forum. The data contained 10M unique email addresses along with names, genders, ages (in some cases, full date of birth), postcodes and passwords stored as unsalted MD5 hashes.

What was exposed, and why it matters

Not all breaches carry the same risk — what matters is which fields leaked. Here is what the Raaga breach exposed and what each item actually enables:

Passwords

Attackers replay leaked passwords across other sites (“credential stuffing”). Because most people reuse passwords, one leak often unlocks email, shopping and banking accounts elsewhere.

Dates of birth

Date of birth is a permanent identifier used to verify identity by phone. Combined with a name and address it is often enough to impersonate you.

Location data

Reveals where you live, work or travel, which supports both targeted scams and physical-safety risks.

Names and usernames

Links this leak to your other accounts — a reused username lets anyone build a profile of you across platforms.

Email addresses

Puts you on spam and phishing lists, and confirms to attackers that you hold an account with this service — which makes impersonation emails more believable.

Also listed in this breach: Ages, Dates of birth, Email addresses, Genders, Geographic locations, Names, Passwords.

What to do if you were affected

These steps are ordered for this specific breach — the most urgent action given what leaked comes first.

  1. Passwords: Change this password everywhere you have reused it, starting with your email account — whoever controls your email can reset everything else.
  2. Dates of birth: Never confirm your date of birth to an inbound caller — hang up and dial the organisation back on a published number.
  3. Location data: Review location sharing on the accounts you still hold with this service.
  4. Names and usernames: Search your usual username to see what else it exposes, and use distinct handles for sensitive accounts.
  5. Email addresses: Treat any message referencing this service with suspicion, and never act on links in unexpected emails.
  6. Check whether your own email appears in this breach — run a free scan to confirm before you spend time on the steps above.

How urgent is this now?

This breach is recent, so the data is actively traded and the risk is at its highest right now.

Passwords are the reason breach age matters less than people expect. Leaked credentials are compiled into wordlists that get tried against new services for years afterwards, so a password exposed here is unsafe to use anywhere, ever again.

Remember: a breach can't be "un-leaked" — once a database is out, it exists in countless copies. The goal is to make the leaked data useless: change what can be changed, lock down what can't, and remove what has been republished.
