The seller says that they obtained the database recently, following a successful SQL injection attack and that it can be used to steal the funds of premium members. Selling in unique batches MyFreeCams is a popular adult video chat platform with tens of millions of users. The service provides free access to chat rooms of a large number of models. Free users can upgrade to a premium member account by purchasing tokens that can unlock otherwise restricted features or spent to tip the models. On January 14, a hacker offered to sell a database containing usernames, plain text passwords, and emails belonging to two million paying MyFreeCams users. The seller was offering 10,000 records for $1,500 in Bitcoin, saying that the logins guarantee a profit of at least $10,000 in tokens. Despite the "generous" offer, buyers did not form a line and asked instead if they could purchase smaller increments, 1,000 records for $150. By the attention it got, it is safe to assume that at least a few thousand records have been sold. In trying to increase sales, the hacker announced a few days ago that they would sell the records only one time, meaning that buyers would get different account logins. According to CyberNews, who obtained a sample of the records, the database contains usernames, email addresses, passwords in plain text, and the balance of MyFreeTokens for each account. source: CyberNews According to the publication, the seller's Bitcoin wallet recorded 45 transactions that accumulated a little over $21,000 worth of cryptocurrency (BTC 0.60222754) at the time of the check. CyberNews says that they contacted MyFreeCams for a statement and received confirmation that the database is genuine. The adult video chat platform proceeded to notify affected users and reset their passwords.
