Hackers attacked a Russian cybercriminal website, stealing user data. The cybersecurity company Flashpoint discovered a cyberattack on Maza, a Russian forum previously known as Mazafaka, which facilitates the trading of stolen bank data and discussions regarding money laundering and malware distribution. During the attack, the hackers obtained email addresses, usernames, and passwords of users. A message appeared on the forum’s homepage stating, “Your data has been leaked” and “This forum has been hacked.” The stolen data was subsequently posted on the dark web, causing concern among cybercriminals that their identities may be revealed. This marks the third such attack against high-level forums frequented by cybercriminals. In 2003, Russian forums Verified and Exploit were also targeted. Speculation suggests the attacks were carried out by intelligence services or individuals with knowledge of server locations. Maza was previously attacked in 2011, compromising the data of 2,000 individuals, an attack attributed to a rival group, DirectConnection. Following the 2011 attack, the DirectConnection website was also targeted. The attacks involved hackers.
