Cryptome: Steps of the Cryptome hack on the morning of 2 October 2010.
1. The Cryptome email account at Earthlink was accessed by unknown means and its access password changed.
2. According to emailed notifications from Network Solutions (NSI) retreived after email access was restored, the hacker requested information about Cryptome's multiple accounts by using the email address.
3. With a password guessed or stolen by unknown means the Cryptome.org management account at NSI was accessed.
4. All 54,000 files (some 7GB) were deleted and the account password changed.
5. NSI was sending emails of the account management modifications.
6. The hack was discovered by lack of access to email or to the Cryptome.org NSI account.
7. A call to NSI support restored all files from a back-up except for the previous two days.
8. An Earthlink online support chat restored email access and showed the NSI emails about management changes.
9. New passwords for Earthlink and NSI were set.
10. Email is not stored at Earthlink. What undelivered email might have been deleted by the hacker is unknown, the NSI and a couple of spam emails were awaiting delivery.
11. The other Cryptome accounts hosted by NSI do not seem to have been affected.
12. This is the second shutdown hack in 14 years. Except the one by Microsoft abusing DMCA.
What undelivered email might have been deleted by the hacker is unknown
Видимо кто-то слил инфу о пришельцах раньше времени.
