Account Hijacking Forum OGusers Hacked
Summary: OGusers, a forum used by people who hijack accounts and conduct SIM swapping attacks, was itself breached, exposing the email addresses, hashed passwords, IP addresses and private messages of nearly 113,000 users. On May 12, 2019, the forum's administrator told members a hard drive failure had erased months of data and that he had restored a January 2019 backup, while the breach and wiping of forum hard drives went unnoticed until the RaidForums administrator posted the database for free download on May 16.
Why it matters: The database holds the registration IP addresses, email addresses and private messages of roughly 113,000 accounts, and federal and state investigators pursuing SIM swappers are likely to use it to fuel more arrests and charges.
