They claim to have leveraged an SQL injection vulnerability to gain access

A hacker collective known as DeleteSec published the details of hundreds of users, allegedly stolen from the systems of the American Chamber of Commerce in France (amchamfrance.org).

“American chamber of commerce in France does not care for their security flaws. We (deletesec) forwarded a well written message concerning a SQL injection error on their website, but they ignored our message and wrote a hateful response back. So enjoy our response back,” the hackers wrote next to the data published on Pastebin.

The leak consists of around 340 email addresses and passwords, and 90 usernames. The hackers also made available the details of the vulnerability that allowed them to gain access to the site’s database.

We have contacted American Chamber of Commerce in France representatives, hoping that they can clarify this incident. We’ll return with additional details in case they respond to our inquiry.
