Hackforums - one of the popular hacking forum in the world - has been hacked and defaced by the famous Egyptian hacker with the online handle Eg-R1z.
HackForums is popular among both whitehats and blackhats. On one end of
the spectrum, HackForums helps over 110,000 hacking community members to
remove dangerous malware off of their computers, as well as promotes
research and learning of various malwares.
But on the other end, it servers as a great platform for hackers and
cyber thieves as well, who posts infected material in order to victimize
others. The website is hosted in Europe on a server and expected to be
earning an estimated $7,316 USD on a daily basis.
Last night, hackforums.net went dark with a defacement message that reads:
"[403 Forbidden Error] - You might be blocked by your IP, Country, or ISP."
That's really nasty msg guys , don't u think so?!
Just sending greets from Egypt
i-Hmx , H3ll C0D3 , Egyptian.H4x0rZ
./Eg-R1z Cr3w
It is still unclear, how hacker managed to get into server and which
type of vulnerability or weakness has been exploited. But, it seems that
the hacker just exploited some flaw and defaced the website and then
hosted the image on hacked server which was displayed on the defaced
page.
Reason behind the defacement of the website is still unknown, but with
the deface message, one can predict that the hacker is warning the
HackForums admin about security.
The forum was unavailable for few hours last night, but at the time of
writing, the site was back to its normal form, but site performance is
still facing some issues. You can check the defacement mirror of the
hack at Zone-h as a Proof of Hack.
It’s not first time HackForums website got hacked. In past, HackForums
website was also hacked by various hackers with online handles imLulzPirate, b0x, SYRIAN-HACKER and KTN.
