That's it Indexeus, is a new search engine that has indexed and displayed data accounts gained from over 100 recent data breaches. This data includes details of several hackers, as the databases used by the search engine are mainly from websites frequented by young wannabe hackers.
The Indexeus "service" prides itself on having an easy-to-use database. The site allows anyone to investigate millions of records from some of the biggest data breaches "over 200 million records available to our customers." The database includes data from recent Adobe and Yahoo! leaks, email addresses, usernames, passwords, Internet address, physical addresses, birthdays, and other information.
Who are Indexeus' customers? Residents of hackforums [dot] net, a massive forum of novice and teenage hackers (aka “script kiddies”) from around the world who sell and buy services and tools designed to facilitate online attacks, or harass other people.
Few services are as ironic and self-deprecating as Indexeus. You see, the majority of the 100+ databases crawled by the search engine are either hacked Forums that have been hacked, or from websites that offer "booter" services – that is, powerful servers that can be rented for denial-of-service attacks.
The masterminds behind Indexeus are some teenagers or maybe even some 20-somethings. They envisioned the service as a way to scare fellow hackers into paying to have their information removed from “black list” of the search engine. Those who pay "donations" of $1 per file (paid in Bitcoin) can delete their information from the site's database, but also be assured that their information will not appear again after some future leakage.
The team responsible for Inddeus reports:
"The purpose of Indexeus is not to provide private information to anyone, but to protect and raise awareness. Therefore, we are not responsible for any misuse or misuse of our content and services. Indexeus is not a dump. Dump is by default a file containing links, passwords, personal information, or emails. Indexeus provides a single data mining search engine. ”
The information of course will be very useful for those who seek to cause harm. As expected, some Hackforums users quickly discovered many of their names, passwords, and other data they use at Ideexeus. They began protesting for the service at Hackforums, blaming Indexeus.
Who has INEXEXUS?
The person who hired developers to help him build Indexeus goes by the alias “Dubitus” on Hackforums and other forums. For the bargain price of $25 and two hours of your time on Saturday, Dubitus teaches you online how they do “doxing” and “detracing Web.”
In accordance with KrebsOnSecurity, Dubitus is called Jason Relinquo, and is 23 years old, from Lisbon. He claims that his service is an educational tool.
Naturally, such a service that exposes hackers themselves did not stay very online. During the weekend the site was hacked and deformed by hackers as reported by ehackingnews.
The group that carried out the attack released a screenshot showing that they uploaded a backdoor shell to violate the site.
Dubitus, of course, states that he gave the root password.
The site at the time of writing this article was offline.
