Hello dear Root-Me community,

We're aware of claims circulating on a hacking forum about a Root-Me data leak. We've obtained and analysed the files in question, and here's what we found.

No user data is affected. The files contain only challenge source code, no passwords, no emails, no personal information.
This is an old leak. Several years ago (prior to 2018, so nearly a decade old), a vulnerability allowed challenge sources from a specific server of ours to be extracted, and someone did exactly that at the time. The material surfacing today appears to originate from that incident.

We've since fixed the underlying issue by hardening challenges and ensuring they were all properly sandboxed. There's nothing for our community to action, but if you have questions, we're here to answer them.

We thank you all for the responsible reports that brought this to our attention.

The Root-Me Team
