Security experts at Flashpoint discovered the availability of the access to over 3,000 compromised sites sold on Russian black marketplace MagBo

A new report published by researchers at Flashpoint revealed the availability on an underground hacking forum for Russian-speaking users of access to over 3,000 breached websites.

“Access to approximately 3,000 breached websites has been discovered for sale on a Russian-speaking underground marketplace called MagBo. Access to some of the sites is selling for as low as 50 cents (USD).” reads the report published by Flashpoint.

The earliest advertisements for the MagBo black marketplace were posted in March to a top-tier Russian-language hacking and malware forum. According to the advertising, sellers are offering access to websites that were breached via, PHP shell access, Hosting control access, Domain control access, File Transfer Protocol (FTP) access, Secure Socket Shell (SSH) access, Admin panel access, and Database or Structured Query Language (SQL) access.

Most of the compromised websites are e-commerce sites, but crooks also offered access to websites of organizations in healthcare, legal, education and insurance industries and belonging to government agencies.
According to the experts, most of the compromised servers are from U.S., Russian, or German hosting services. The company reported its findings to law enforcement that are notifying victims.
