In approximately 2011, data was allegedly obtained from the Chinese gaming website known as Duowan.com and contained 2.6M accounts. Whilst there is evidence that the data is legitimate, due to the difficulty of emphatically verifying the Chinese breach it has been flagged as "unverified". The data in the breach contains email addresses, user names and plain text passwords. Read more about Chinese data breaches in Have I Been Pwned.

In approximately 2011, an alleged breach of the dating website Zoosk began circulating. Comprised of almost 53 million records, the data contained email addresses and plain text passwords. However, during extensive verification in May 2016 no evidence could be found that the data was indeed sourced from the dating service. This breach has consequently been flagged as fabricated; it's highly unlikely the data was sourced from Zoosk.
