According to ZDNet, the hackers allegedly exploited a known SQL injection vulnerability residing in an outdated version of the vBulletin forum software, which allows them to get access to the full database. The unknown hacker has stolen data from hundreds of thousands of forum accounts including usernames, scrambled passwords, email addresses, IP addresses, birth dates, private messages and posts, user activity data. It also added that Facebook access tokens for users who signed in with their social account were also stolen. Recent hacks involving Ubuntu, Dota 2, and Canadian media company VerticalScope, which exposed 45 million user accounts, also involved unpatched, older versions of vBulletin.
It is assumed that other Epic related forums were not affected, including Paragon, Fortnite, Shadow Complex, and SpyJinx.
