PlentyofFish Hacked, Founder Emails Hacker's Mom
hellkyng writes "The online dating site PlentyofFish was hacked, and purportedly 30 million customer records were stolen. The site's founder, Markus Frind, is blaming the security researcher who discovered the vulnerability and the journalist who confirmed the issue."
The researcher who reported the vulnerability is Chris Russo, one of the guys who hacked The Pirate Bay last year. He explained his side of the story as well. Mr. Frind says he tracked down Russo's Facebook page and emailed his mom.
should not affect slashdot crowd since they do not date.
The "hacker" found a weakness in the websites security and exploited it. Then the website found a weakness in the hackers security and did the same in turn. You'd think the hacker in question would be a little more secure about their own personal information.
He is in trouble now, what a narq
I was on the site for a while. It was always slightly clunky, but I'd prefer a free, one-man labor of love to a buy-in site that basically tries to promise sex for money. It was particularly helpful in helping me discover that I wasn't as bad as most of the creeps out there... and conversely, creepiness doesn't belong exclusively to those of the male persuasion. That was good to know -- it helped me realize that I need to be picky. (And my pickiness was rewarded many times over when I found my fiancee. In my Sunday School class).
But on the tech side, it irritated the living crap outta me that POF would send me a weekly e-mail with my password IN PLAIN TEXT. Every week, just as a reminder of how easy it would be to log in. Yeah, easy for *anyone* to log in as me and, if I were foolish enough to put important information on POF, to mess with my life. And, of course, if I were foolish enough to use that password for my bank account... well, I think anyone on this site knows the rest.
So I'm not at all surprised that someone found a way to hack POF. Sending a password in plaintext is bad, but not uncommon. Heck, T-Mobile does it. But sending it every week, unsolicited? I'm sorry to be rude, but that's just stupid.
Stressed? Me? Of course not. Stress is what a rubber band feels before it breaks, silly.
Post torrent to the data or it didn't happen! (too soon?)
So an immature but technically competent jerk cracked you computers and is now trying to get your companies lunch money, metaphorically. Your response is, among other things, to tell his mom.
O_o
You know, that sounds about right.
Not surprised that site got hacked and is full of incompetent developers and people. If you go there every other sentence has some huge grammatical error in it. The guy running it is completely illiterate. The design is horrible too. I'm sure nobody there knows what's going on at all! Who uses MSSQL?!? Get for real. I thought it was funny that the sentence 'there is a serial killer murdering people from the website' was said all non-nonchalantly in the article.
How would a "security researcher" know that a SQL injection bug was being actively exploited if he just uncovered the bug himself?
This sounds a bit odd as using a SQL injection to expose the users' details would require you to deliberately manipulate querystring parameters or form fields. The results will display in your own browser. How would he know whether anyone else were doing this? Was it because he really didn't uncover it himself but found the 30.000 users' details somewhere else?
No, this sounds a lot more like someone mildly proficient (you can use automated tools to find SQL injections so this is just one level above script kiddie) found a bug and wanted to capitalize on it. To underline the seriousness he embellished a little on the "being actively exploited".
I take it that POF has server logs and that they can tell from those whether anyone else exploited the bug.

Assuming the Plentyoffish guy isn't lying (a definite possibility): http://plentyoffish.wordpress.com/2011/01/31/plentyoffish-hacked/ states:
They then start talking about money because they need to incorporate a company that can deal with companies outside of Argentina and that will cost $15,000. They also needed to know if they were going to make over $100k/year or 500k/year as that would require different registrations
I just looked it up online and found no mention of needing different incorporation types for dealing with customers only in Argentina vs. external to Argentina, The highest fee I found online (although I'm sure there are companies willing to charge more) was USD $1760 to form a "Sociedad Anónima" vs. USD $1370 to form a "Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada" (sounds like a standard Limited Liability Corporation, but I'm not an Argentine business lawyer so I could be wrong), far short of the $15,000 they are asking for.
I realise that this is somewhat off-topic, but it can't be a good idea to have a dating site with a domain name that reads as "plenty offish". When will people learn to use hyphens in domain names?
Tried Plenty of Fish for a shortwhile - as a default, the service will mail 'new matches' to the email account you registered with every few days. These emails contain a a plain-text version of your password (which essentially reads as "Remember, your password is :XXXX123").
It's not entirely surprising that the site had its security compromised.

On most stories like this I think, hey, the bad guys are winning, because they're top-notch hackers. In this story, I'm thinking, hey, the stupid guys are losing, because they're really stupid.

If this data goes public I am going to email every single effected user on Plentyoffish your phone number, email address and picture. And tell them you hacked into their accounts.
Then i'm going to sue you In Canada, US and UK and argintina. I am going to completely destroy your life, no one is ever going to hire you for anything again, this isn't piratebay and we definately aren't fooling around.

Back when Cheswick and Bellovin were doing the original Bell Labs firewalls, and caught a Dutch teenager trying to hack into their site, the Netherlands didn't have any computer security laws that made it illegal. "So we called his mom...."

Who in their right mind believes anything on plentyoffish.com, match.com, date.com, cupid.com, eharmony.com... All they are optimized to do is to increase the likelihood NOT to find the correct partner so as to get as much free money as possible. Not doing it this way would be an epic loss of opportunity from a business point of view.

They've changed all passwords due to the attack (I got a fresh, random one). I have a vague worry that my email address will turn up somewhere I don't want it to, but apart from that there's no other useful personal information on my profile, which, when I come to think of it is kind-of ironic for a dating site :p.
Here is an *incomplete* list of corrections:
"Not surprised that site got hacked and is full of incompetent developers and people."
should be:
"I'm not surprised that the site got hacked, and is run by incompetent developers and people."
---
"If you go there every other sentence has some huge grammatical error in it."
should be:
"Every other sentence on the site contains a huge grammatical error."
(I'm guessing that you didn't really mean that the grammatical errors are conditional, and only appear when you go to the site.)
---
"The design is horrible too."
should be:
"The design is horrible, too."
---
"Get for real."
I believe the phrase you're looking for is:
"Get real."
---
"I thought it was funny that the sentence 'there is a serial killer murdering people from the website' was said all non-nonchalantly in the article."
should be:
"I think it's funny that he so nonchalantly wrote, "... there was a serial killer, murdering people from the website."
or probably more appropriately, leave the quote out:
"I think it's funny that he so nonchalantly mentioned that there was a serial killer murdering his users."
He didn't email the hacker's mother, he emailed the security researcher's mother. Some unknown party hacked his website, and he blames the security researcher that was going out of his way to assist them in closing the vulnerability. After reading the researchers take on this, POF CEO could possibly be facing criminal charges for uttering death threats, harassment and perhaps a civil libel suit.

Second, what you're saying is that car manufacturers should sell us cars that break down after a year so that we're forced to buy new working cars? That's not how it works.
Actually, I'm pretty sure that is how it works. Cars are not terribly reliable contraptions, and purposefully so.
...looks out at twelve-year-old car in parking lot...
Maybe you're not holding it right.
Seriously, I own two cars, one is 12 years old, the other is 10 years old. Both run and drive like new.
*Headline taken from : http://www.krebsonsecurity.com/
A much easier headline.
Despite the term hacker not defining whether good or bad, instead only indicating circumvention of computer security. It has been used so virally in the media, that it now tends to infer that a malicious hack was carried out. In short the headline "PlentyofFish Hacked Founder Emails Hackers Mom"seems to suggest that the founder of PlentyofFish had found the person who breached his servers and then emailed their mother. However that is not the case.

-1 is for flame bait and trolls, not because you disagree with someone.
I have an account. I logged in some time last week and it said my password had expired and I needed to change it. The change screen was sort of crappy and I was able to "reset" my password to the old password. If the rat b@st@rd had said "we've been hacked and you need to change your password", well, I would have changed my password to something else. But, just a simple expiration? Well, really not a reason to change my password.
Bureaucrats get caught with their pants down, don't come clean for a while, and then they go and blame everyone else for their screw ups.
Markus, take a hint. Don't send people's passwords to them in an e-mail once or more a week. Geez... Now, I do have a reason to change my password.
There's a gas station by my house that likes to to put the names of people that bounced checks along with all their contact info on a great big billboard for the entire city to see. It's pretty entertaining.
Reading both accounts of the story (one from the CEO, the other from the security expert), it seems to be a case of "who do you believe". All we truly know is that the site was hacked, these guys were involved somehow, and now they're mad at each other. Everything else is just based on what one side or the other says.
That said, looking through the blog postings of the CEO, he strikes me as having the classic case of paranoid narcissist personality disorder. Every other posting is a rant about how his competitors are all out to get him. Everything they do is about HIM and a response to HIS business. When eHarmony does something, it's not just an innocent business expansion, it's a direct personal attack on this guy. I've worked with presidents and CEOs who use similar wording to this CEO in their daily speech, and whose nuances and mannerisms seem to match this guy's perfectly. Although my examples are only anecdotal, I'd be willing to bet this disorder is quite common among business leaders.
Not knowing more about the situation and only having their two accounts to go with, I would probably fall on the side of believing the security expert's account more, just looking at the level of paranoia and exaggeration in the CEO's blogging history.
Really?? You would, assume any notification of a security breach to be fraudulent until proven otherwise? What web site do you operate, so I can be sure never to sign up or give you any personal details.

First, the PoF interface is utter shit. I did like the ability to drill down specific attributes, but still rather clunky. Good if you're looking for a thin/athletic woman for a good lay, though.
Secondly, all passwords were stored case-insensitive which drive me nuts. On top of that, the inability to obscure passwords in emails was a huge no-no. It was kind of fun to read the error messages when the IIS server wouldn't process a request.
In the end, the site deserves it. Hopefully it will improve, especially now that they're charging for "premium" features such as message read notification.
Markus is a spoiled, rich crybaby. He's made so much money off that hideous site for so many years (and boasted about it for ages on his blog)... you would think he could afford proper security audits and support to close holes.
Basically he's been sitting on his ass technically for nearly the entire time, and now he's pissy because his lack of attention bit him.
And for the record, OkCupid.com is so immeasurably better than PoF in every way, it's time for the old whale to die.
.sigs are for post^Hers.
Come on, did anyone else but your programmers write the code for your site?
If someone saw a bug and then sent it to you...then guess what it is up to you to patch it right away, if 1 week later this bug is deployed in the wild...then sorry, but you had your chance...that is why you make the millions, and others don't, else we all would have our very own dating websites....you need good coders, and just anyone to do your code for you.
As someone who also runs every aspect of my own business, when I first read about "Markus' incredible success story" a year ago I immediately thought two things:
1) I wish I could make a fortune just working by myself like this guy
2) There is no way his product is secure. It's just a matter of time.
You just cannot do security unless you are literally a full-time, dedicated security professional. Anyone who has dabbled at all in setting up their own website and gotten to any sort of server configuration and custom installation stuff knows this. So right off the bat, all online small businesses with any kind of user information aspect require 2 participants, minimum (to do a good job).
I'm still reading through the context of the story, and I'm not saying he deserved it, only that he had it coming. If I used the site I'd be angry at Markus, not the Hacker. Evil is a statistical constant; it's not doing anything about it that's deplorable.
He didn't bothered to learn how to spell the name of the country.
Look, here's why companies pay bounties and don't hire "security researchers" on spec, and, vice versa, here's why "security researchers" need to be very careful about how they go about getting a real job: Pointing out security vulnerabilities and asking for money IS extortion. "Gee, nice construction site you've got here. Too bad you can't afford to work 24 hours a day. Shame if someone were to vandalize your hardware while you were asleep. You know, even I could do that, let me show you*. Buy the way, I'm looking for a job. *=that's the step that's a problem; it's a double problem in the geek world, because the only accreditation that counts is being able to commit the crime that's a problem. So, sure, sleazeballs all around. What'd you expect? It's an online dating site.
What happened after the dude emailed the other dude's mom? Did they make out? This is a nerd's ultimate revenge!
Will it be written in a style similar to APK's bombastic style? I should like to read it, and ALL of its P.S. clauses, when it's published.
How should I subscribe to your newsletter, Sir? I really admire your ideas.
Seriously?
You call dating based on physical attractiveness shallow... Fair enough. I would counter with the question: Why should I date people who aren't attractive to me? Why is physical attractiveness any less important than emotional attractiveness? I'd agree that it's shallow to date on looks alone... But speaking as someone who has tried having romantic relationships relationships with people he isn't physically attracted to, I can say that it doesn't work any better than a relationship with someone I'm physically attracted to but emotionally uninterested in.
You make a great point though that you can't expect to date outside your league. Want a hot chick who's totally intellectual and into nerdy guys? Be an intellectual nerd who has a bit of a sense of style and works out.
> So you don't date? :-P
You're talking about someone posting to Slashdot. It's too late for us all.
Now, how nice is that?
Nothing is secure in this universe and there will be a lot of unhappy people reading this one! Also, there is no manning this site.
I was sent a warning from someone who used to stalk me way back when.....all he did was press a button and for no reason whatsoever,
the warning came to me for nude pictures which were not posted!!! Nice huh? Yeah, thought you'd like that one.

You're just another stupid, off-topic, ne'er do well troll Americano... accept it! apk
It's not shallow to favour physically attractive people. It's natural. There is no escaping it. For better or worse we are all prone to it.
Not all of us have much to offer in exchange and consequently we have to compromise on what we would accept in a partner, but what we've got is probably not what we would have chosen if we had had a completely free choice in the first place.
That's not to say that we don't form deep and meaningful bonds with our second or third choice. That's also natural.
If you doubt it try to imagine the person of the opposite sex with the most scintillating character that you can think of - but in the body of the most gross and ugly person of the opposite sex that you can think of. If you claim that you could spend your life (you know, sex and everything) with that person you are either a liar or admirably perverse.
That's why Hollywood is full of pretty, beautiful, handsome, delicious, stunning actors and actresses and why most of them fade from view when their looks also begin to fade.
I'm not saying that other factors don't count, but maybe sadly, looks do count more than most people would care to acknowledge.
You need to read How to Win Friends and Influence People, by Dale Carnegie. It's a great book that has sold a brazillion copies about exactly what you're talking about.

You can't show you've done even THAT, loser...
Also: I couldn't have "cut & pasted it from MSDN" dimwit: MS' examples are in C/C++ typically (or .NET or VB etc. - languages MS produces & uses).
(Additionally: Your constant accusations here, where I have made you "eat your words" each time? Only tells me what YOU YOURSELF DO... which is obviously ream the work of others & claim it as your own!)
This entire exchange, w/ your errors saying I posted "pseudo-code" really only further tells me you are NOTHING BUT A B.S. ARTIST LOSER AND BIG TALKER, because you can't even recognize the tools or languages used... lmao!

P.S.=> Again, for the 11th time now: Show us what YOU have done, & more of it of good note in respected publications or technical contests like MS-Tech Ed 2000-2002 as I have, that ended up in commercially sold programs.... you can't, I know it, and so do you (as well as anyone else reading here).
You're a loser, troll... a big talking loser... apk
benjymouse, it is obvious this is you replying as anonymous coward, and you haven't accomplished anything it seems in the field of computing that others remarked on as good or decent and put it into publications of respected reputation. You're quite pitiful and you've made yourself look like an ass here. How you could overlook the fact that you've been asked to tell us all reading here what it is you have done that was good in publications of respected note, or in programs you have written that did well, or anything noteworthy in the field of computer sciences only tells us you are avoiding that question, and the reason is that you haven't accomplished a thing. So much for your big talk with nothing behind it whatsoever. You're a nobody as the other anonymous coward apk stated, and we can all ascertain that much from your running away from a simple question of show us all reading here that you've accomplished more than apk has, and earlier than he did. You're unable to, because you're what he called you, a ne'er do well. Worse yet, you critiqued Mr. Russo regarding this article, and yet for all your big talk? You haven't done shit yourself. Grow up, and quit being such a fool.

Recall that post? He made you eat your words. You're such an idiot that when you asked him what he'd done in the past 10 years you didn't even note that part of his list accomplishments in computing he has, and you do not, does in fact fall within the past 10 years. You also could recognize Pascal code, though you tried to play programming expert, when you called it pseudocode. So, why do you keep running away from answering to us all as to what you have accomplished in computing the past lifetime for you. You haven't done a damned thing worth noting. You're just another wannabe talker.

What a lame way to try to avoid what has been asked of you. We already know you're a nothing and nobody, and your avoiding answering us when we ask you what you've done better than apk put up for a list of accomplishments in comp. sci. related work. You couldn't on your best day apparently show us you've done more than he has, and earlier or over as long a period as he has. You're a loser.

By this point, we know you can't even produce a fraction of the list of accomplishments apk put up that he has, and we know it based on your constantly avoiding answering that question put to you, where apk had a slew of evidences to that very effect by comparison.
What you posted WAS pseudo code. by Anonymous Coward on Friday February 04, @09:43AM (#35103238)
That apk was credited for, and it's not pseudocode moron. Pseudocode's written in "pseudo languages" fool. This is how stupid you show us reading here that you are. The code snippet you demanded apk showed is actual working object pascal code that's largely Windows API based so it's easily ported to other languages. Of course, you'd had to have actually programming computers before to know that, and you've just proven to us all you have not (along with showing us you're nothing but an armchair quarterback critic that's never accomplished a damn thing in computing to his name or credit on your part). You still haven't put up a list of accomplishments to your name/credit either as you were asked to do, and we know why that is. You've never done anything worth noting in the field of computing is why, and that's painfully obvious. We are all laughing at you.

You, by comparison, when asked if you'd done the same?

You also incorrectly blundered calling code you demanded he show you turned out to be pascal code, which you said was pseudocode first of all, and then you said he stole it from msdn (giving away what you yourself do, because your accusations are very telling about yourself). The funny part is, MSDN doesn't do PASCAL code. They do examples in C/C++, VB, or .NET dialects (sometimes ASM too). You're pitiful, and you fail, on all accounts here loser. It must be a shitty life knowing you're only an "ARMCHAIR QUARTERBACK" in the field of computing, and my guess is, also your entire life, you trolling shitbag.

Odd how you demanded others prove their statements on what they've done, after you falsely accused them here no less and were shown you were wrong (about apk supposedly stealing code from MSDN that he posted, and you're such an idiot and armchair QB that you don't realize MSDN doesn't put out code examples in PASCAL, but rather in either C/C++, VB, .NET dialects, or Assembly language.

Where you accused him of stealing some photographs of yours etc. online.
In the end? Well - I drove him away successfully from this forums, as neither Clone guise used has been posted to for more than a month or two now. That was due to his/your technical mistakes here before, and it appears you've been just as "successful" (lol, not) here in this exchange (not).

That explains even more about you, AND, how you "operate", using many multiple accounts on your end, which is lame (and dishonest, because you can mod up OR mod down others as you see fit, whether they merit it or not).
Now, some FYI/new news for you:
I can post more than 10 times a day here, and I do so under AC credentials no less... but, you have to know how to "beat the system" in order to do what I do, and clearly, you do NOT know how that's done, further indicating your weakness in mastery of things "networking" online also.
Since you've lost your behind everytime you have tried to do that, as shown in the URL above? You might as well grow up, get used to it, & give up... because you always lose when you try that with me!

P.S.=> Or hasn't history here shown you that already numerous times in addition to your blunder here of incorrectly calling code you demanded I put out here that turned out to be pascal code, which you said was pseudocode first of all, and then you said I had stolen it from msdn (giving away what you yourself do, because your accusations are very telling about yourself).
The funny part is, MSDN doesn't do PASCAL code. They do examples in C/C++, VB, or .NET dialects, OR sometimes, ASM too. but not pascal, which is what I put out...
