Title: Attn: Hobbyking customers-Login and check your bonus points - Urgent Post by: vibranthobbies on April 19, 2016, 11:25:38 AM Dear All,
Yesterday our hobbyking account password was stolen and reset by some one from Russia. The hacker logged in and placed order using the bonus points available in our account. Possibly this could be a security breach and they might have stolen some more email ids and passwords. Please login and check your bonus points. For safety reason please change your password.

Since, we have a wholesale account we keep considerable amount in bonus points. The hacker utilized that. I was lucky to check my account today and the order is still under processing. Hobbyking assured to cancel that order and credit it in our account again. @himadri May be their target is accounts with high bonus points. Kumaran Title: Re: Attn: Hobbyking customers-Login and check your bonus points - Urgent Post by: Himadri Roy on April 19, 2016, 12:03:05 PM @himadri That could be the case. I have very little bonus points about 4$. Good to hear that HK is helping out!May be their target is accounts with high bonus points. Kumaran Title: Re: Attn: Hobbyking customers-Login and check your bonus points - Urgent Post by: vibranthobbies on April 19, 2016, 12:08:17 PM We got the amount back.
HK is investigating further on this. Title: Re: Attn: Hobbyking customers-Login and check your bonus points - Urgent Post by: satyagupta on April 19, 2016, 12:12:21 PM Good to hear that :)
Title: Re: Attn: Hobbyking customers-Login and check your bonus points - Urgent Post by: RCNeil21 on April 19, 2016, 01:45:28 PM How would one know how many bonus points an account has?
Hopefully its not a systems breach at your end kumaran sir please do take care :thumbsup: Title: Re: Attn: Hobbyking customers-Login and check your bonus points - Urgent Post by: Inv3nt0r on April 19, 2016, 04:00:05 PM Breached just few accounts? If the hacker was successful to breach, he will get information of almost all accounts. Check out your computers and mobile phones for backdoors, key loggers or viruses.

out the following http://www.voltairenet.org/article185860.html the incident took place a couple of years ago ... and is of doubtful veracity it does concern russians and electronics Title: Re: Attn: Hobbyking customers-Login and check your bonus points - Urgent Post by: vibranthobbies on April 29, 2016, 08:56:01 AM Dear All,
Please see this thread on RCGroups on similar incident. It happened on 25/04/2016; http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2651823 It is the same person who hacked our account. I am saying this based on the shipping address. Title: Re: Attn: Hobbyking customers-Login and check your bonus points - Urgent Post by: chintal on May 01, 2016, 01:17:08 PM Its a hacker thats it
Title: Re: Attn: Hobbyking customers-Login and check your bonus points - Urgent Post by: Inv3nt0r on May 01, 2016, 06:21:46 PM If it's a website database breach then they should patch the vulnerability immediately to save other fraudulent orders done by hackers and do store password and other information encrypted hashes. And just my personal opinion, they should not take rid of sql database again, as now they seems to switch to oracle database :hatsoff: Keep it up
