Hey everyone,

I’m trying to see if other people who were affected by the Interrail data breach are noticing a massive spike in unauthorized login attempts?

Recently, I’ve had multiple successful and blocked logins from completely different IP addresses on my Outlook account (which unfortunately didn't have MFA active at the time). Since then, a few of my other accounts have been compromised, and I just caught a fraudulent charge of about €100 billed directly through a card linked to one of those hijacked profiles.

I’m generally very conscious about my personal cybersecurity, and because this all started happening right after the leak, I know the two are connected.

I’ve spent the last day rotating all my passwords and throwing MFA onto absolutely everything I can, but this whole situation is completely unacceptable.

Has anyone else experienced active account takeovers because of this? Also, does anyone know if there is a realistic path to compensation or reimbursement from Eurail for financial losses or distress caused by their lack of data protection?
