Daniels Hosting, one of the largest Dark Web hosting providers, was hacked by hackers this week.
The hack took place on Thursday, 15, according to Daniel Winzen, the hosting programmer.
"According to my analysis, it seems that someone has managed to access the database and has deleted all the accounts," he said. DH portal.
Winzen also mentions that his root account server has been deleted, along with 6.500+ Dark Web services hosted on the platform.
"Unfortunately, all the data was lost and by design, there are no backups," Winzen said. "I will return the hospitality as soon as the vulnerability is identified and corrected."
I will do a full analysis of files καταγραφής, αλλά με βάση τα ευρήματά μου μέχρι στιγμής πιστεύω ότι ο hacker was able to gain administrative rights to the databases. There is no indication that he had full access to the system, and some accounts and files that were not part of the hosting remained intact.
I could reactivate the service once the vulnerability is found but first I have to find it.
So for the past two days, Winzen has been looking at potential vulnerabilities points which the hacker used to gain access to Daniels Hosting's hosting server.
At the moment, he detected a defect, a PHP 0Day. Details of this vulnerability were known for about a month only in the PHP programming cycles, and appeared to be released publicly on 14 November, one day before hack.
Winzen, however, does not believe he is the hacker's real entry point:
It is a vulnerability reported as a possible entry point by a user. However, I would find it unlikely to have been the real entry point, as the configuration files containing access details in the database were read only for the right users. This vulnerability did not give the necessary rights.
The German developer said that the hack could be "an opportunity to improve on some of the bad design choices of the past and start with a new improved service, which I will probably launch in December.
Note that after hacking at Freedom Hosting II, a popular Dark Web hosting provider in February of 2017, Daniels Hosting became the largest hosting provider on Dark Web.
The hack may have facilitated the fact that the source codes of Daniels Hosting was always open at GitHub and so could anyone read it and explore it.
