Myspace account hacker code#
They were expected to break 98% to 99% of the code at the end of the month. Therefore, analysts of LeakedSource were able to break most of the content. The company not doing “salt” to the passwords in the hash process has made the matter even worse, which means random bytes were not added to the end of passwords in order to make it unbreakable before the hash process. What’s more, LeakedSource also mentioned that all the leaked data was stored and encrypted in SHA-1, which was the same as LinkedIn case, and it has weak performance.

Some of them were set with a second password while some only had a second password instead of master password. But not all the data could match with the accounts. LeakedSource said they obtained the information which contained passwords of 427,484,128 users from an anonymous user of the instant messaging server Jabber. Last Friday Afternoon, a hacker claimed to be Peace wanted to sell data of stolen passwords and accounts from MySpace in the online black market The Real Deal at the price of 6 bitcoin (about 2800 dollars). The operator said there was evidence showing the reason for this data leakage was an unreported loophole. But the statements of the hacker and an operator from LeakedSource (paid search engine of hacker data) are consistent. When they stole the data from MySpace is still unknown. Same as data leak incidents of LinkedIn and Tumblr, backstage manipulator of this incident is Peace. Any newly found clue will be published in time. We are now actively conducting an investigation. There were the same attack behavior as in recent network attack of LinkedIn and Tumblr. We firmly believe this leak was initiated by the Russian hacker organization Peace. The stolen data involved with part of data created in the former MySpace platform before June 11 2013. In this weekend of Memorial Day, we realized the stolen user data of MySpace was on sale in the online hacker forum. The company wrote in the brief announcement: But according to last year’s report, there were only 50 million unique visitors per month. The website recently boasted that the number of their registered users has made the breakthrough to a billion. However, this social media has become a shell of its former self today with serious security problem.
Many people may not remember MySpace, who in years ago was the biggest social media website in the world before Facebook dominated the market. Parent company Time Inc admitted the data leakage of its micro blog server and repeated some details we have already known yesterday. Last week, paid search engine of hacker data LeakedSource revealed 427 million user credentials of MySpace were leaked. Information of 427 million MySpace accounts leaked, selling as a package at the price of 2800 dollars in black market
