Security News > 2021 > April > Fourth time's a charm - OGUsers hacking forum hacked again
Popular hacking forum OGUsers has been hacked for its fourth time in two years, with hackers now selling the site's database containing user records and private messages.
OGUsers is a hacking forum known for the sale of stolen social media accounts hacked through SIM-swapping attacks, credential stuffing attacks, and other means.
Last week, cyberintelligence firm KELA tweeted that the OGUsers forum administrator confirmed that the site was hacked after hackers uploaded a web shell to their server.
At the time, the OGUsers admin was unsure if the database was compromised, but soon after, members on a competing hacking forum began selling the stolen OGUsers database for $3,000.
A source familiar with the attack has told BleepingComputer that OGusers was hacked on April 11th, 2021, and that the attackers gained access to a complete dump of the forum database.
Brian Krebs reported that OGUsers was again hacked in November 2020.
