MacRumors Forums hacked: 860,000 logins exposed

The popular MacRumors Forums site has confirmed that it was successfully hacked on Monday this week. The vBulletin powered forums fell victim to what it describes as a similar breach that hit the Ubuntu forums earlier in the year. "Our case is quite similar" says MacRumors founder Arnold Kim who continues "with a moderator account being logged into by the hacker who then was able to escalate their privileges with the goals of stealing user login credentials." Unlike the Ubuntu breach, no site defacement appears to have taken place though.
