A site providing revenge services against his ex has been the victim of a data leak. Many private details are online on hacker forums.
The perfect target. On September 13, a hacker published a database from a “revenge on his ex” site on a famous hacker site. To download the files, all you have to do is be an active member of the platform or pay a few euros. The criminal offers free excerpts from messages published on the hacked site as a pledge of good faith.
Troy Hunt, creator of the platform haveibeenpwned.com – on which you can check if you are the victim of a leak – looked into this database. People who may end up in the files of “getrevengeonyourex.com” can now visit this cyber researcher’s site to check if their info is in the online records. Troy Hunt considers this leak “very sensitive” because of the private stories it contains.
80,000 people concerned
This hacking is all the more serious as it is not limited to the usual names, email addresses, telephone number, but also contains many intimate details, including sexual ones. All the interest of this site (already harmful, originally) is to order a means of “revenge” against its ex-half and the administrators offer many services to achieve this: harassment by SMS, anonymous phone calls, letters, emails on the pro mailbox etc. The frustrated person is invited to write the message they want to send themselves. Result, entire novels worthy of 50 shades of gray end up on the darknet with this data leak.
Getrevengeonyourex.com did not post anything on their site, but potential victims are encouraged to visit haveIbeenpwned to ensure they are not in the leaked messages. More than 80,000 people would be affected.
