Some Tw*t Is F***ing around with My Website Even as I Write This!

I am off to bed. It is far too late to try and sort this problem out tonight. God only knows who is hacking this website at the moment. A Russian, maybe? Whoever it is, I hope he is having fun. What has upset the chump, God only knows. Hopefully, he will have settled down by the morning.

Good night to the hacker and good night all!

THE MAIL ON SUNDAY: Russian hackers have taken personal details of world leaders, actors and tycoons / Victims believed to include Donald Trump, David Beckham and Sir Philip Green / Thought to be demanding millions in ransom money to stop further releases of sensitive information / Gang named Conti is behind data theft from the exclusive jewellery firm Graff

Hackers have plundered the personal details of world leaders, Hollywood A-listers and billionaire tycoons in a massive 'virtual heist' on exclusive jewellery firm Graff, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

The cyber criminals have already leaked 69,000 confidential documents on to the so-called 'dark web', including files relating to Donald Trump, Oprah Winfrey, David Beckham and Sir Philip Green.

And they are thought to be demanding tens of millions of pounds in ransom money to stop the release of further sensitive information.

The notorious Russian hacking gang Conti is behind the data theft and claims the information published, involving about 11,000 of Graff's well-heeled clients, represents just one per cent of the files it stole.

Documents including client lists, invoices, receipts and credit notes have been taken, and could prove embarrassing for customers who may, for example, have bought gifts for secret lovers or taken jewellery as bribes.

'Given the profile of the customer database, this is absolutely massive,' said Philip Ingram, a former colonel in British military intelligence. » | Kevin O’Sullivan and Georgia Edkins and Michael Powell for The Mail on Sunday | Saturday, October 30, 2021

Suspected Iranian Hack Hits Israeli LGBT Site; Users Fear Leak of Personal Info

An Israeli LGBT-focused dating service was one of the many websites targeted by a hack on an internet hosting company, worrying users of a potential data leak that could expose those still in the closet.

“Atraf,” a geo-located dating service as well as a nightlife index, is a popular app and website in the Israeli LGBT community, especially in the Tel Aviv area.

Hackers, apparently linked to Iran, said Friday they had broken into the servers of Israeli internet hosting company Cyberserve, bringing down a number of widely used websites.

The Black Shadow group, which Hebrew-language media reports said was Iranian, warned the Israeli company that it was in possession of data that could be leaked. The group has not confirmed that it is backed by Tehran.

“Hello Again! We have news for you,” the hackers wrote in a message circulated on social media Friday evening. “You probably could not connect to many websites today. ‘Cyberserve’ company and their customers [were] hit by us. You may ask what about Data? As always, we have lots of it. If you don’t want your Data leaked by us, contact us soon.” » | TOI Staff | Saturday, October 30, 2021
