The LeakedSource's analysis shows the database contains user
information, including email addresses, usernames, passwords, IP
addresses, location information and other information on users.
Though iMesh stored all passwords in hashed and salted format, the passwords were salted with the MD5 algorithm that is easy to break nowadays.
Based on the most recent records in the leaked database, the data breach search engine estimates the hacker breached iMesh on September 22, 2013.
The database contains 13.7 Million users from the US, around 4 Million from Turkey, over 3.5 Million from the UK, and remaining from other parts of the world. Most iMesh’s users signed up with Hotmail (14.3 Million) and Yahoo (10.5 million) emails, and almost 1 Million users used 123456 as their password.
All the data is now up for sale on the dark web for just 0.5 Bitcoin (nearly US$335), so it's high time you changed your passwords for all social media sites immediately, especially if you use the same password for different websites.
