Carders.cc, Backtrack-linux.org and Exploit-db.org Hacked
Summary: Carders.cc, a German forum for trading stolen credit cards, was hacked for the second time in 2010, and the same Christmas release of the "Owned and Exposed" ezine also hit exploit-db.org and backtrack-linux.org. The ezine listed user names and hashed passwords of the Carders.cc forum administrators, and Mati Aharoni, administrator of both exploit-db.org and backtrack-linux.org, confirmed the hacks against his sites were legitimate.
Key Takeaway: Aharoni noted that a hacking team called inj3ct0r initially took credit for the attack before its own new site went offline, and the ezine also mentioned the ettercap project being backdoored - a reminder that the groups claiming these breaches are themselves targets, and that a backdoor in a tool security teams rely on can outlast the breach headlines.
