An Iranian security researcher recently hacked 3 million accounts across at least 22 banks in the country. Now, Google has taken down the blog on which he posted the account details of his victims.
Khosrow Zarefarid, an Iranian security researcher who hacked 3 million bank accounts, has had his blog taken down by Google. Zarefarid did not steal money from the accounts; he merely dumped the account details of around 3 million individuals, including card numbers and PINs over at ircard.blogspot.ca. I found the link via his Facebook account, along with the question “Is your bank card between these 3000000 cards?” As you can see in the screenshot above, however, the blog is no longer operational.
Hold on it gets even better!
Zarefarid is still, however, allowed to blog on Blogger; it appears Google is comfortable with him doing so as lomg as he doesn’t post stolen data. In fact, Zarefarid has at least two other blogs:irbanks.blogspot.ca (called Banking Problems in Iran, written in Persian) and zarefarid.blogspot.ca(his personal one).
