A hacker who was selling details of nearly
890 million online accounts stolen from 32 popular websites in three separate rounds has now put up a fourth batch of millions of records originating from 6 other sites for sale on the dark web.
The Hacker News today received a new email from the Pakistani hacker, who goes by online alias Gnosticplayers and previously claimed to have hacked dozens of popular websites from companies which, according to him, probably had no idea that they were compromised.
The hacker last month made three rounds of stolen accounts up for sale on the popular dark web market called Dream Market, posting details of
620 million accounts stolen from 16 websites in the first round,
127 million records from 8 sites in the second, and 92 million from 8 websites in the third.
Although while releasing the third round Gnosticplayers told The Hacker News that it would be his last batch of the stolen database, the hacker released the fourth round containing nearly 27 million new users' records originating from 6 other websites.
