Behind the NULLED.IO hack


Behind the NULLED.IO hack

Several days ago the public became aware of an attack on a popular hacking website nulled.io. Hackers managed to obtain database dump and published it on the Internet. Unfortunately, the database was modified, and a lot of interesting tables (such as forum posts) were missing in the dump. However, the leaked information is still valuable, because it contains email addresses of website visitors, their hashed passwords, IP addresses, etc.

We have decided to make a small analysis of this information to determine who was using nulled.io. Here are our findings:
