Fourth time's a charm - OGUsers hacking forum hacked again
2021-04-28 18:35

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.
