Security News > 2020 > December > Account Hijacking Site OGUsers Hacked, Again

For at least the third time in its existence, OGUsers - a forum overrun with people looking to buy, sell and trade access to compromised social media accounts - has been hacked.

Roughly a week ago, the OGUsers homepage was defaced with a message stating the forum's user database had been compromised.

In the meantime, someone has been taunting forum members, saying they can have their profiles and private messages removed from an impending database leak by paying between $50 and $100. OGUsers was hacked at least twice previously, in May 2019 and again in March 2020.

The hacker handles featured in the defacement message left on OGUsers - "Chinese" and "Disco" - correspond to two nicknames used by banned OGUser members who have been trying to generate interest for their own forum that seeks to emulate OGUsers.

Reached via Twitter, Discoli said he and his friends hacked OGUsers via an outdated plugin used by the site.
