Exoclick is a victim with all their clients, even if its long time ago and everyone concerned had their password changed, spreading this info wont do any good to anyone on top of the blackmailer and other hackers and scammers who will use it and potentially harm the people on the list, people that can be your friends, partners, affiliates or just part of our community.

just hopeful this isnt another wtfbucks effort or is it?

guess we will know in a few days if people get their email assigned to exoclick emailed.

This happened 6 months ago. Did exoclick notify those on the list?

I didn't get an email so I can assume I'm safe? But I'd like to see for myself..

i see guy who showed them vulnerability, they filled it and closed his account with his money? he wanted to get that solved and exoclick admin acted like an asshole, so he decided to solve it by putting the backups online? how you can know where is the truth, when the first time you read from exoclick that database was compromissed is now after 6 monhts? not backing up anyone, just hackers are mostly not idiots :)

Maybe he didn't email all of the users.

If you check the database dumps he posted you can see some things he did was like get a list of users sorted by the ones with the highest balance. Maybe he only emailed specific users with a high balance or something.

select username from users order by balance desc

First of all, I would like to thank all the people who have shown their support during this pretty hard time. Really this is good to hear.

I have seen several questions and I'll try to answer some of them but please if you have concerns contact me in private as I don't think it is wise to discuss it further publicly, especially regarding the security measures we have implemented.

When the problem occured, we of course contacted immediately the clients who had their account compromised and made sure that they set a new, complex password. Actually, it was not many accounts as most passwords could not be decrypted.
We continuously monitor the accounts to make sure there is no suspicious connections and that is one of MANY reasons why I can say the accounts are safe. If you still have some doubts, you can of course change your password in your Admin Panel.

We are going to go after this criminal with every resource at our disposal. We have already started.

I understand some of you are angry, you have every right to be. I cannot change what happened, but trust me we have taken every possible measure in the best interest of our clients, as we have always done, and we will continue to do so.

I won't comment on this thread anymore but to those who need to contact me, please do.

Thanks again to all the clients who are behind us on this.

I am not saying all hackers are idiots Im saying this guy is an idiot for trying to blackmail a company and anybody else who trys to pull of stunts like this.

It dosent matter how secure a members area is, If a hacker wants in, he will normally find a way, but to then use what he has to blackmail a company well that just pure idiotic.

Why doesn't this thread have 5 pages by now.
One of the biggest ad networks in the industry got hacked and all their user data got stolen, including payment details. They never reported the hack to their customers.
This is a very serious issue!
