The forum dump contains 1524 records with forum member usernames, email addresses, and MD5-hashed passwords.

In response to a inquiry from DataBreaches.net as to why and how they had targeted this site, TeaMp0isoN member “Jimmy” responded,

We owned the UN back in ’11
only seemed right to fuck with them again.

The forum was compromised by an SQL injection, he tells DataBreaches.net.
