6,500 Dark Web Sites Offline After Hosting Service Attacked

The actor behind the attack on Daniels Hosting, and their initial point of entry, remain unknown.

A Dark Web hosting provider, and all of its 6,500+ services, were taken offline last week after an unknown attacker gained access, ZDNet reports.
Software developer Daniel Winzen, who runs Daniels Hosting, says an attacker infiltrated the database and deleted all accounts – including the servers root account. All data was destroyed; due to the design, he says there are no backups. The plan is to get things back up and running when the flaw enabling the breach is discovered and remediated, Winzen explains.
So far, his research shows the intruder was only able to obtain administrative rights over the database; it doesnt seem as though he had full system access. Some files and accounts unrelated to the hosting setups werent affected in the breach, he adds.
The only vulnerability Winzen has found so far is a PHP zero-day vulnerability, which he doesnt think the attacker used to gain access.
