I saw this article on Cyberscoop titled Cybercrime forum advertises alleged database, source code from Russian firm that helped Parler which was quite interesting to say the least.
Looks like Parlor ended up getting picked up by a bullet proof hoster. We know that bullet proof hosting is not a good thing to have, as they can turn a blind eye to any types of reports they want. They could, if they chose, to deal with some stuff but leave other things alone.
The apparent database is on a web site called exploit.in which is used by Russian speaking folk. The initial pric e of the database and source code was $550,000 but was lowered to $350,000. The breached firm, if confirmed, is DDoS-Guard.
I’m sure that we’re going to hear a lot more about this if this is a confirmed thing, the Cyberscoop article has plenty of stuff on this one.
There are indeed reasons to doubt the data is legitimate. The seller didn’t provide a sample, has almost no track record on the site and once endured a
ban for refusing to use the exploit.in escrow service, Group-IB said.
If I see anything else, I’ll see about covering it on a podcast.
