Mixcloud suffered a security breach, when hackers stole some users' email addresses, securely encrypted passwords & more

. The majority of Mixcloud users signed up through Facebook authentication, in which case Mixcloud doesn't store passwords anyway. The platform also does not store full credit card numbers or mailing addresses.

Another piece of good news is that the passwords Mixcloud does keep on file are encrypted, making them unlikely to be unscrambled by hackers. Even so, Mixcloud is recommending that users change their passwords just in case. Reached by email, Shah said that Mixcloud is still actively investigating the incident, and confirmed that Mixcloud recently surpassed 1.5 million uploaders. He declined to comment further.
