Popular Dark Web Hosting Provider Got Hacked, 6,500 Sites Down

Daniel's Hosting, one of the largest providers of Dark Web hosting services, was hacked this week and taken offline, ZDNet reports. From a report: The hack took place on Thursday, November 15, according to Daniel Winzen, the software developer behind the hosting service. 'As per my analysis it seems someone got access to the database and deleted all accounts,' he said in a message posted on the DH portal today. Winzen said the server's root account was also deleted, and that all 6,500+ Dark Web services hosted on the platform are now gone. 'Unfortunately, all data is lost and per design, there are no backups,' Winzen told ZDNet in an email today. 'I will bring my hosting back up once the vulnerability has been identified and fixed.'
