FileDEN was hacked Enlarge picture - FileDEN was hacked
A hacker, whose online moniker is xdev@b4lc4nh4ck, managed to breach FileDEN (fileden.com), a website that offers free online storage and file hosting services.

More than 4,500 account details were published on Pastebin by the hacker who claims that this is not everything he managed to obtain as a result of the breach.

Usernames, encrypted passwords and email addresses ended up online.

I have contacted FileDEN to learn if they’re aware of the incident and to find out if they’ve taken any measures to secure the website and inform customers of the breach.

In the meantime, users who own accounts on FileDEN should be on the lookout for any malicious emails that may land in their inboxes, but also, they should change the passwords that protect their online assets to prevent any unfortunate situations.
