More than 87 Million accounts associated with video-sharing site Dailymotion, one of the biggest video platforms in the world, have been stolen in another “mega-breach”.
An unknown hacker has extracted all 87.6 million email addresses and usernames from the company’s systems, but about one-in-five accounts — roughly 18.3 million — had associated passwords, which were encrypted with bcrypt, which makes the passwords quite difficult to crack or reverse engineer.

DailyMotion has confirmed the breach in their own blog post (in French) – English Translation.
Although it looks like your password might be safe due to the use of bcrypt, this doesn’t mean you can be un-concerned about your safety.
Those users who have not had their passwords made public would be wise to be careful. Cybercriminals could still use stolen email addresses and usernames to craft spear-phishing attacks or launch spam campaigns designed to steal further details or spread malware.
