Account Hijacking Site OGUsers Hacked, Again
Summary: OGUsers, a forum where people buy, sell and trade access to compromised social media accounts, was hacked for at least the third time, with its homepage defaced roughly a week before the December 2, 2020 report and its administrator acknowledging the user database was compromised. The perpetrators have not released the database, unlike the May 2019 and March 2020 breaches, and someone is offering to remove profiles and private messages from an impending leak for $50 to $100.
Bottom line: Data from the two earlier OGUsers leaks helped identify who was behind the July 2020 Twitter account hijacking and SIM-swap-enabled virtual currency heists, so this forum's user records are the kind of evidence that ties handles to real people.
