![]() Lifeboat at the other hand asked users to reset their passwords without informing them about the breach and that their personal data has been stolen but gamers on the social media aren’t happy with the company’s decision. Hunt believes that the Lifeboat servers had poor security and passwords were weakly hashed using an MD5 algorithm which allowed hackers to simply decrypt the passwords by Googling them. Hunt is the same researcher who earlier found data of 1.1 Million users from Beautiful People dating site and 4.8 million kids data from Toy Manufacture VTech. ”When this happened early January we figured the best thing for our players was to quietly force a password reset without letting the hackers know they had limited time to act. If they alerted people about passwords being reset they would’ve basically been telling the hackers to hurry up and ALL data would’ve been stolen,” according to a statement released by LifeBoat. LifeBoat didn’t inform users until a security researcher found out the data An important fact about the breach is that it took place in 2015 but the company decided to hide it from the users, however, the security researcher Troy Hunt got hold of the list of affected users along with the data, reports the BBC. ![]() The stolen data includes personal information of gamers including their login emails and passwords. The data is now available for sale on Dark Weband Lifeboat has confirmed the breach. Lifeboat, a platform that provides gamers with an option to run servers for playing customised and multiplayer version of Minecraft has been hacked and login details of seven million users have been stolen. On this page enter the name you want the server to appear as, followed by the IP, followed by the port number, usually the default.Īfter this, your server should appear in your worlds list, above the minecraft worlds, there are many servers availible if you have the time to find them (many have websites as well online).Minecraft users have to change their passwords ASAP because Lifeboat company didn’t disclose about the data breach that took place in early 2015. Open the create world screen as normal, and click on the arrow button in the top right. However, as I mentioned before, to join a server there is a different method. Open Minecraft as normal, and you should be able to join. Wait and other ten seconds and disable airplane mode. After ten seconds disable airplane mode, connect to your network and open Minecraft ONLY on the device on which the world is saved on. Then, once again on the home screen swipe up from the bottom of the home screen (from the top if on android) and enable airplane mode on both devices. On your home screen, double tap the home button and end Minecraft by swiping up all the apps (all iOS users probably know this). If that doesn't do anything, quit Minecraft on both devices. This should hopefully reset multiplayer broadcasting, so it should work. ![]() You first need to open Minecraft on both devices, turn off multiplayer game in options, open a world, then leave that world again, and turn on multiplayer game in options. Joining a server on your local network (WiFi) However if you mean how to join an MCPE server on the internet, I've written about that at the bottom. If you are saying that the multiplayer is not working, as worlds on a LAN should appear in the main list but they don't, there is an easy fix.
