Oracle’s MySQL.com customer web site was apparently compromised by a pair of hackers who publicly posted usernames, and in some cases passwords, of the site’s users.
Taking credit for the hack were “TinKode” and “Ne0h,” who wrote that the hack resulted from a SQL injection attack that they did not provide further details on. The vulnerable domains were listed as mysql.com, mysql.fr, mysql.de, mysql.it and www-jp.mysql.com.
According to a post on the Full Disclosure bug mailing list on Sunday 27 March, MySQL.com ran a variety of internal databases on an Apache web server. The information posted included a raft of password hashes, some of which have now been cracked.
Among the credentials in a dump of the information posted on Pastebin were passwords for a number of MySQL database users on the server, and the admin passwords for the corporate blogs of two former MySQL employees.
The bloggers were former director of product management Robin Schumacher, and former vice-president of community relations, Kaj Arn
