Underground hacking forum Nulled.io pwned by hacker who leaked database online

A well known underground hacking forum has been hit with a massive data breach which exposed IP and email addresses, private messages and password data of around 500,000 members who used the website to expedite the selling and sharing of compromised passwords and stolen credentials. The hacker leaked the data on 6 May in a 1.3 GB tar archive file.

Nulled.io, a popular hacker forum which is well known for using the tagline "expect the unexpected", has apparently been at the receiving end of an unexpected data breach which has left its members' personal details leaked online. The breach was uncovered by security firm Risk Based Security, who uncovered a data dump of almost the entire website's database online. The hacker leaked the data, which when expanded is a 9.45 GB db.sql file and contains over 5,500 purchase records and 12,600 invoices detailing the buying, selling and sharing of stolen credentials.
