NVIDIA Forum Hack exposed

Posted by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 07/17/2012 10:05 AM | 0 comment(s) ]

Guru3D.com ImageLooks like the guys that hacked the NVIDIA forums posted a dump of the database on pastebin. You can read that here. Not only the forums are compromized, shop.nvidia.com apparantly as well.

The group behind the hack is Apollo project:

But let's put this in perspective, this is only a forum hack. I am actually suprised nVidia decided to even disclose that they'd been hacked quite a few weeks ago.

It did take them a while though. We aren't acting extremely maliciously, we've used this database to target disgusting corporations who deserve to be brought to justice.. and we are getting there, slowly but surely.

I know one day it will all change, but for change to happen.. You have to make the change. I was always raised to believe that the only person anyone can change is themselves, but I think that's absolute bullshit, and you should to. I guess you should consider this a call to arms. We are riding as one now. I don't have any other name, I don't want one, and neither should you. I don't have all the answers, but if you take one thing from me.. Wake the fuck up and start looking at things.

Oh, and nVidia forgot to tell you that shop.nvidia.com has also been compromised. nVidia minimizing the affect that the hack will have on its stock price? SHORT SELL, SHORT SELL.
