Buzzfeed recently published an article basically dismantling the entire façade that the hacker group OurMine had built for itself, insinuating that the notorious criminal entity was not a group at all. In retaliation, OurMine vandalized Buzzfeed’s website, deleting articles and leaving telling signs of the attack.
The article in question was published yesterday and insinuates that the hacker group that has been terrorizing celebrities and big tech publications over the last few months is actually made up of just one person. This person is supposedly high school student in Saudi Arabia. It would seem OurMine did not find the report amusing.
In terms of damages, the breach resulted in several article titles getting changed to “Hacked by OurMine” and changing the bodies of certain posts with warnings directed at Buzzfeed. The hackers wrote that the site was writing lies about them and told them not to do it again.
To ensure that Buzzfeed heeds their word, the hackers also said that they now have the site’s database. There’s no indication as to the nature of this database or what it contains, but OurMine is still threatening to publish it.
In their past hacking attacks, the group maintained the persona of goodwill, saying that the security breaches were meant to alert the targets regarding vulnerabilities. This time, it’s different, with the group not even pretending to be the good guys anymore.
On the group’s official website, OurMine wrote about their latest attack, providing the reasons for their actions and denying that they have a Saudi Arabian high school student as a member. According to the post, it would seem that the hackers increased in number as well.
“Why we hacked it?” the post read. “Alright, yesterday Buzzfeed Created a post that we are only 1 member called Ahmed Makki, and we can confirm that we don’t Have a member called ‘ Ahmed Makki ‘ and we are now 4 we were 3 but someone joined, and we hacked it because they are reporting fake news about us :)”
