While the database has been dumped online, another hacker is claiming to have access to an OGUsers database that contains private messages of its users. The database is being sold for $30000 however, it is unclear whether they obtained the database in another breach. According to their listing, the breach took place on April 11th, 2021.

Nevertheless, the leaked information can help law enforcement officials take action against those who have been involved in illegal activities in the past on the forum. This keeping in mind the nature of the forum would include the buying or selling of hacked social media accounts and similar malicious services.


In fact, this did happen back in August 2020, when a Bitcoin scam was on the rise with the accounts of famous celebrities getting hijacked on Twitter, one of the perpetrators caught was linked to OGUsers using the data from the previous breaches of the forum.
