Yesterday a partial dump containing email addresses and hashed passwords for the forum.arenabg.com members leaked. According to The Hackers News the leak was published by a Russian hacker. I will not comment the story, but if you ever used forum.arenabg.com make sure that you not reuse the same password for your email or somewhere else.…

I’ve got frustrated couple of days ago when I needed to send quickly a scoping questionnaire focusing on web application security assessment and was not able to find a single one in my archives.
