Jim K Global Moderator Posted February 7, 2017 Global Moderator Share Posted February 7, 2017 Quote /snip Allegedly, Freedom Hosting II had been hosting child pornography sites, though its anonymous operator claimed to have a zero-tolerance policy toward such content, according to the hacker behind the breach. “What we found while searching through your server is more than 50% child porn…” the hacker wrote in the message left on the site. “Moreover, you host many scam sites, some of which are evidently run by yourself to cover hosting expenses.” /snip “Once I found out what they were hosting, I just wanted to shut them down,” said the hacker, who’s also been circulating what he stole through a torrent file. The dump includes 74GB of files and a 2.3GB database from the service, the hacker claims. “The IP of the server has been leaked, which potentially could reveal the admin's identity,” the hacker added. Chris Monteiro, a cybercrime researcher based in the U.K., has been looking through the data dump, which he said appears to be real. The information includes the sites that Freedom Hosting II had been operating, along with the admin credentials to access them. /snip PCWorld via [H]ardOCP To summarize ... 10K Freedom Hosting II sites impacted and ~50% were allegedly contained child porn. The data has been dumped publically ... and obviously law enforcement will obtain this very public data. From Chris Monteiro (cited in the PCWorld Article) Quote Findings so far Large child abuse related forums in English and Russian Fraud sites, some of which are clearnet facing, capturing public IP addresses Hacked account sites, but it’s always hard to tell if those are legit Weird fetish sites, which might not even be illegal At least some botnets Other usual weird Tor sites More information at his website. Score one for the good guys/hackers. Hopefully law enforcement can put some sick people away...for a long time. goretsky 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rev Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 So technically the hacker is ALSO distributing child porn... Kind of hypocritical if you ask me. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
