Choices.edu hacked 8,000+ accounts leaked

Posted on October 28, 2012 by Lee J

A hacker using the handle Sl3nd3r posted a brief dump a few months ago that came from the databases of the Choices.edu server. In that dump was about 1,000 accounts with encrypted passwords and a message that stated more would be coming soon, that paste has since been removed. Today we have discovered that 9 furthers pastes have been posted by Sl3nd3r that contain 7746 emails with encrypted passwords from the Choices.edu database. Choices is an education based program run by the Watson institute e and it is unsure why this attack has been carried out. 1 -761 https://pastebin.com/eQa85fDM 2- 312 https://pastebin.com/gViyDNH7 3- 1040 https://pastebin.com/792SmHbs 4 – 1393 https://pastebin.com/yeT5k4DY 5 – 1049 https://pastebin.com/iieJTyd7 6 – 1482 https://pastebin.com/Lg2WAaEK 7 – 983 https://pastebin.com/ev4RH1YL 8 – 1123 https://pastebin.com/jsWKBM5F 9 – 1095 https://pastebin.com/4aEaxhaj And the orginal dump archive
