A group of hackers failed to deploy security mechanisms to secure the storage where they store hacked accounts and another hacker group hacked it.
The story is indeed funny and real. Infamous forum named OGUSERS , which is popular amongst hackers for obtaining “OG” Instagram, Twitter usernames, hacked accounts of Domino’s Pizza, Steam, PlayStation Network, and other online accounts was hacked by a hacker group and its data was published in another hacker forum.
The breach exposed nearly 113,000 forum users sensitive information including email addresses, hashed passwords, IP addresses, and private messages, Source code, Website data, and its activities.
On the 12th of May 2019, OGusers admin revealed that a hard drive failure had erased several months’ worth of private messages, forum posts, and prestige points.
Coincidently, another hacking community forum called RaidForums admin revealed that he had uploaded the OGUsers Forum Database to download for free and also said forum ogusers.com was breached On the 12th of May 2019.
Also he said, “I have uploaded the data from this database breach along with their website source files. Their hashing algorithm was the default salted MD5 which surprised me, anyway the website owner has acknowledged data corruption but not a breach so I guess I’m the first to tell you the truth view his statement here or if you don’t want to visit their website view it here. According to his statement he didn’t have any recent backups so I guess I will provide one on this thread lmfao.”
Obtained copy of the leaked database data was verified and confirmed that the database contains an original data belongs to OGusers, and it appears to hold the usernames, email addresses, hashed passwords, private messages, and IP address at the time of registration for approximately 113,000 users.
OGusers members are mainly involved with SIM Swapping attack to hijack the user‘s phone number and use it to reset the Instagram password and sell the user name in underground forums.
In this case some users have already receiving phishing emails that target their Email accounts and email addresses.
“OGUsers has been online close to 3 years now and this the first time any breach has occurred. I do understand everyone’s frustration and I am deeply sorry this has all happened recently. “Again, I am deeply sorry this occurred and I will do my best to make sure it never happens again.” OGusers Admin said.
