Darknet Hoster Pwned in Cyber Attack
Infosecurity Magazine | July 11, 2017
Darknet hoster Deep Hosting has claimed to have suffered a major security breach over the weekend which led to some of its customers’ data being compromised. The hacker registered a shared account with the platform then used it to upload two shells to its servers, one in PHP and one written in Perl. The former was able to execute. "A large part of the PHP shell is unusable since a certain number of functions are blocked on the shared servers but one function was not blocked," Deep Hosting wrote in a wiki page seen by Bleeping Computer.
