The Maza cybercrime forum was hacked and member data leaked in the latest of a series of attacks targeting mostly Russian-speaking hacker forums.
Last night, BleepingComputer was contacted by a newly registered Twitter user who stated that the Maza forum was hacked and member data was leaked.
"Maza forum hacked and credentials leaked! Verified, Dread, club2crd and now maza, are the darkweb forums safe anymore?," the Twitter user stated along with the following screenshot of the leak.
Unlike most forums, Maza requires its members to generate a certificate and a corresponding password used along with a username and password to log into the forum.
Maza is not the only Russian-speaking hacker forum targeted in recent attacks.
"Additionally, one of the oldest super-moderators of the mid-tier forum Club2Crd"mak" experienced a complete account takeover resulting in the appearance of the multiple new scam services and decreasing trust in cybercrime communities," Kremez explained to BleepingComputer.
