Just tried to logon to my 000webhost account and had to reset my password.

Checking out their site and there is a notice about their database being breached.

For anyone else using this service I advise you also to change you passwords. (Especially if you (are dumb enough) use common passwords across accounts)

A hacker used an exploit in an old PHP version, that we were using on 000webhost website, in order to gain access to our systems. Data that has been stolen includes usernames, passwords, email addresses, IP addresses and names.

Although the whole database has been compromised, we are mostly concerned about the 000webhost leaked client information.
