Breaking: It’s not just Facebook. 4Chan hack Christian’s social network, email, Paypal accounts and more…

For previous developments on this story, see here and here.

Since our Facebook hacking story earlier, we’ve had some pretty significant updates.

First, the story so far:

An unknown Christian dating site was recently hacked and whoever responsible managed to gain access to a list of email addresses and passwords. It’s likely the file was posted to anonymous message board 4Chan.org and in doing so, some of its frequenters have begun a rampant attack on Facebook, e-store profiles, email accounts and other social networks.

We initially managed to get hold of one the original txt files complete with email addresses and passwords, but we’ve since received a folder full of more login details and screenshots (presumably taken by the hackers themselves) of various email accounts, emails sent, documents, goods purchased and yes, social network profiles.

The social network screenshots (such as this one) are embarrassing, but in the long run, relatively harmless. In regard to the email accounts however, we have seen screenshots of various more sensitive accounts including Paypal and Amazon.com accounts that have clearly been gained access to via peoples email accounts. On top of that, a number of private photographs have been made shared, all of which I can guarantee the people involved would not want made public.

The hackers have also sent a number of emails to friends and family pretending they have either converted religion, changed sexuality, are dying of AIDS or have been affected by some other unchristian like situation.

We’ll post a few of the screenshots below over the next hour, (once we’ve established which ones don’t contain sensitive information).

    Which dating site was this?

    "you’re just pushing them further into the beliefs for which you ridicule"

    Hm. Possibly. But there's an opposite effect, too - by turning their religion into an object of ridicule, you might be reducing the level of acceptance of religion in that society, at least amongst the technologically literate. How many people see these and laugh? Every person who does is a little less likely to turn into that which he's laughing at today. And that's the real goal, isn't it - changing society, not reforming the individual.
  • This has nothing to with what they believe. This is what /b/ is. No reason. Just Hate. For the lulz.

    When I was in the seventh grade (about ten years ago), one of my friends had her email account hacked into. It sent messages to a couple different people in her class declaring that she was a lesbian and that she had a crush on you. I told everyone that my brother checked it out and that her inbox was definitely hacked into. Thank god she never found out. Being gay is not a big deal at all. But having someone telling people you are gay in the seventh grade is a big deal. People can be so horrible. Even in high school, my few friends that did come out did not always have a good time of it.

    "It’s likely the file was posted to anonymous message board 4Chan.org" lol so ignorant. Yes because all "bad" people come from 4chan. Gratz on using the same password you use for highly secure websites as you do with shit quality dating websites. Learn to internet imo.

    some other unchristianlike situation? Give me a fucking break. So christians never convert religions, change sexually or die of aids? poor form.
  • chris
    I really felt sorry for those people who have been hacked.And those hackers should go to hell!!!

    3rdly, Lol... they pwned a religion
    4thly, Crap, going to hell for the 3rd remark

    6thly, hrm... paypal hacking. Not cool
    7thly, wonder if I should change passwords
    8thly, meh.. where's the rest of the screenshots?
  • Its a bit like looking at a car crash. You wanna look, but you know you're not gonna like what your going to see.
  • dennis
    Just because it's a "Christian" dating site that's hacked doesn't mean all the members are Christian. Many of them are probably just looking for a decent person to date. Probably figure a Christian Dating Site might be a good place to find them. Don't understand whats wrong with a girl buying a vibrator. It's not relevant to her religious views. She can buy one or not if she chooses. It's not against her religion to do so...which may come as a surprise to some of you...but it's true.
    One other thing - That was really low to leave the address and phone number in the post.
  • MJ
    Awesome. Delusional worshippers of a fictional character need this kind of treatment to take them out of their psychological comfort zone and perhaps stimulate independent thought.
  • Moose
    What this says: HURR DURR HACKING FACEBOOK WILL MAKE CHRISTFAGS SEE THE LIGHT AND BECOME ATHEISTS.

    lol no
  • M
    Perhaps not, but rationality and reasoned debate don't work on christfags (the fact that "fag" is regarded as an insult at all, deriding homosexuals with its every use, is mostly down to the religious) so less civilised and more pragmatic tactics are worth a try, no?

    Ah well, not that it matters. Aside from a few pockets of cult craziness Christ will have the same status as Zeus and Osiris in a couple of hundred years anyway.

    Zee? the very same Zee from that feminist (I think) blog that posted about Liskula Cohen? I must say that, while this attack by 4chan is somewhat lulzy to me, it is more disappointing. 4chan, Son, I am disappoint!
  • splat
    You think posting a screenshot featuring the shipping name, address and phone number is going to help this victim any?
  • Anonymous
    to everyone getting butthurt, this is 4chan we are talking about, the septic tank of the internet, its wrong but funny, so either laugh with us or just stay quiet, because 4chan will not modify its behavior.

    Also, the religion has nothing to do with it, its simple
    Easy target (couples site) with big score (Usernames and passwords to other sites) with easy access (Facebook and email accounts) yielded epic lulz.

    If this had been a jewish, muslim or athiest site, it still would have happened
  • Spoon
    4chan wants everyone to laugh or shut up and not get upset? Smells of bullshit.
  • amamanon
    Wait.

    I hacked that email with vibrator half a year ago. Yes at 4c**n. The screenshot is mine. The email had pictures too, some dating site passwords but it was not free. Not just one with ".org" that was hacked. Anyway this is half year old , nothing new. After posting that image i change password and forgot about it.
    It was just for a second of laughs at people with high morals.

    Also quit posting site links.
    Ebaumsworld rocks.
  • ebaumanon
    First, it's not 4chan...4chan is just an echo chamber for ebaumsworld's pranks.

    Secondly, it's funny that the info came from a Christian dating site considering most of the compromised facebook accts I saw were married.

    Lastly, they were not targeted 'for their faith', as I'm sure the rallying cry will be. Ebaumsworld had the list dropped on them and just did what they do best: found the best way to disrupt, in this case Christian sensitivities, and exploited it.
  • sir29
    Please review your post as it incorrectly stats that 4chan is involved in this, I mean you people always blame 4chan for everything "quick to jump the rope" they say.

    You should try that ebaumsworld or whatever because they to have a great user database that could have done it
  • its funny seeing 4chan being blamed once again for something ebaumsworld has been doing since the beginning. You really ought to correct your article
  • robert rollin
    i agree with mark it is clearly the work of ebaumsworld, my friends account was one of those compromised and he found pictures watermarked by ebaums world aswell as the statement "ebaums was here"

    Try this with a muslim site 4chan.

    the internets allowed creepy, socially inept kids to pull columbines on social networking sites instead of in real life.

    at least no one dies from internet attacks, but the creepy factor went way up.

    4chan is not the echo chamber for ebaums pranks. Ebaumsworld is a bunch of pansies who lack the dedication to be truly horrible.

    As was stated before, these christfags were not attacked for their religion, though I wish they were.

    To sum up:
    "You COMPLETELY miss the point of 4chan. 4chan is not Fark "oh hay guys i found a cute link ha ha.". 4chan is not Slashdot's pseudo-intellectual discussion. 4chan is not LiveJournal, SuicideGirls, or HotOrNot. 4chan is a place for people to be monsters- the horrible, senseless, uncaring monsters that they really are.

    Tsunami owns the Asian continent and we laugh. Psychotic emo takes his sickness out on a cat and we laugh. People mutilate themselves for no apparent reason and we laugh. Suicide, homicide, genocide- we laugh. Racism, sexism, discrimination, xenophobia and baseless hate- we laugh. We are mindless "me-too"ism; we are irrational preference; we are pointless flamewars; we are the true face of the internet." -Anon

    @MJ:

    Get off your high horse. You are just as deluded as anyone else. You don't know about reality either. Atheism, like theism, is based entirely on speculation. You can't determine with LOGIC that which you cannot test. And even with scientific discoveries today there is still just as much reason to believe in a god/gods as there is not to believe. So don't act like you somehow know better than everyone else.
  • notsurprised
    While I feel for the affected persons, why are they storing personal acocunt passwords in some database to begin with?

    That is just asking for trouble. You cannot trust companies to keep their data secure, especially if it is connected to the interenet. You have to be responsible for yourslf and think for yourself!
  • Spoon
    They weren't storing passwords in a database, a Christian social networking website got hacked into, and the people who hacked into it used their e-mail addresses and passwords to get into all of those people's other accounts. The only thing those people did wrong was to use the same password for their e-mail, Facebook account, Amazon account, and whatever else.
  • Cheesetrap
    I would assume that what he means is, why the f**k were the passwords stored in plaintext? Any admin who isn't completely retarded stores a HASH of a password and not the password itself - minimising the damage from such an attack.

    Anyway, just tell them it's part of God's plan for them to get pwned, and they'll take it smiling. Problem solved.

    The only religion that nobody attacks is the Muslimic religion. It seems whoever does these kind of things always choose not to hack attack sites that have Arabic letterings in them, even though if you count sites on the web that are predominantly there for the purpose of spreading religious propaganda, then Muslimic religion comes first.
