This Site Selling Stolen Passwords!

[starboy]

Hi Guys & Girls,

This site:

http://www.chumforum.com/

is selling tons of stolen passwords from

straight & gay sites! Any idea's on how to stop them,

and/or shut them down? This hurts all of us!

thanks, Kevin :eek:

That site has been around awhile. It originally split off a straight pass site that had a gay section which is owned by one of the most well known password hackers. I don't know if he's the one actually running that or what, but I would assume so.

Difficult to shut guys like that down when they've been at it for several years. Nothing shy of legal action will do it, which will cost you more than lost bandwidth assuming you've got a good protection system in place.

Yet another reason to use either strongbox or pennywize to stop password traders dead in their tracks!

cheers,

They are using Paypal to process or accept subscription fees for access to adult sites, which I was lead to believe they do not want any part of.

I sent an e-mail to Paypal informing them that one of their 'users' (details sent) is selling access to porn.

I am not going to hold my breath (I know Paypal are practitioners of hypocrisies).

True enough

Also a C+D sent to their host should yield some type of action.
