To all Habbo Fansite users,

RE: Habbohut Forum Intrusion

On the 31st of December, 2007 the Habbohut Forum was broken into by a duo called Rory and Finch. These are Habbos who believe it is fun to destroy peoples’ voluntary work which they put into Fansites.

I am sad to say this is Habbohut’s first major breach with security however the safety of it’s users and other staff was never compromised. The only area accessed was forum administration which resulted in accounts being deleted and the forum being redirected. We are safe to say that other than this, users were never exposed to threats such as key loggers or virus’s.

The cause of the intrusion was a managers Messenger account being accessed therefore moving through accounts to gain access to the Habbohut Forum. I would like to take this opportunity to remind Habbos the importance of different passwords, different emails and changing passwords on a regular basis.

To all users who say Habbohut was hacked, you are incredibly mistaken. Rory and Finch did no such thing to Habbohut except get lucky trying a few passwords they gained from a manager who wasn’t secure enough.

In conclusion, the manager responsible for the intrusion is no longer with the site and procedures are currently being reviewed to ensure something like this will never disrupt the site again.

It is safe to say that the site is back up and running as usual and there was and still is no security threat to its users.

Thank you for your cooperation and apologies for any worry or inconvenience this issue may have caused.

Murdoch
Managing Director
HabboHut International


YE INO DIS WAS POSTED BUT DIZ IS BETA KK

[Jordy]

I heard Finch-HIMself was rumoured to be one of the arrestees in the Dutch raids a few months back? Clearly that's not true or clearly he hasn't learnt :P

If you read the email you posted you'd see he hasn't hacked the HabboHut mailer, and yes it has been posted and the the other one's 'beta' [Better for the rest of you].

[e5]

They fired the GM? sad..

[le harry]

who was the manager?

[Typoh]

Unlucky.

[Clowgon]

I think he knew how to get into habbohut long time ago. I wonder why he left it to 31/12/07. Hmm very strange. Really it is not the Gm fault, its theres. Really Flinch can hack any computer even if they have powerful defenses. I wonder who is his next victim? is? Nasa? Sulake? ClubHabbo? HABBOX? or even YOU!

finch* not flinch.

and for your information he's basically hacked sulake (well, habbo.)
he's hacked mods and picked up furni from rare casino's countless times, and drops them into many different rooms.. he knows what he is doing and at the moment he's too smart to be caught.. why would he hack NASA anyways? NASA probably have TOO much security to get around unless he uses a fake login with a fake email sent to all mods and admins of the site like he did with habbo mods

Nice going there +rep NOT!

[Clowgon]

[Assassinator]

Its not that he's a good hacker, its just sulake and the fansites have rubbish security.

Oh please.
He just did what everyone else used to, which was keylog someone. OR brute force the password through the PHP scripts on HH's homepage, or some other old method. From the fact it was some GM, then I'm guessing Keylog, in which case it's the GM's fault for trusting in some silly program they downloaded.

The only reason it has so much popularity is because it was HabboHut.

[lScottl]

Why would anyone hack NASA? It's a ******* space thingy :S

[Hitman]

Finch sounds like a wannabe kiddie hacker. :rolleyes: If there's an exploit, it can be exploited by anybody.

[Sorosy]

He's hacked Sulake moderators too..

[Jordy]

[Hitman]

Yes, but that's a fault on the MODs part, they were probably stupid. Do you know how he "hacked" them? Keylogger, through ASE, bruting?

If it's a keylogger then the MOD is so idiotic. If it was through ASE, the mod is stupid again with an easy password - same with bruting.

[Alan_Carr]

HAHA FAIR PLAY TO THE LAD

[Clowgon]

Looooool:P i dont know maybe he's a fan of space?

[Chippiewill]

Lol they got owned

[Liz♥]

Never knew that. HabboHut does have the most security for a fansite tbf :rolleyes:

[Three]

Finch knows people, he can get people to do most things i was talking to him and he was like i know the owners they trust me, with that trust i can do anything.

[Frozen..]

*Removed*

[Suppo]

He uses exploits, wohoo, anybody can do that. :rolleyes:

He sends fakemail to moderators to fall for his fakelogin, wohoo, anybody can do that. :rolleyes:


I'll call him Scriptkiddie-finch from now on. :eusa_danc

LOL, Guessing passwords is not "hacking" stop using that term in the wrong sense.

[Invent]

LOL. I can't believe people are calling him a hacker :rolleyes:

All he can do is write persuasive emails as for Habbo all he uses is a ASE/HK Fake login and sends emails to moderators convincing them to login.

Bam, he has their password.

That is in no way hacking. It's just called getting lucky ;)

[Bibliophobia]

hacking sounds better ta

Hey, Ive Just Been Reading All Your Comments And I Think, Well As I'm SURE It's Illegal, Why Does'nt Anybody Do Anything? As You All Say He's Done Lots Of Things...

I didn't know mirror was filtered. :rolleyes: Yeah, he did. He's been doing alot of advertising for his new forum nowadays, I may just sign up for the hell of it.

[Nickatoni]

What the hell are you on about.

[Pyroka]

Heh, nevermind.

[Zak]

Habbo has too many fansites tbh, never used habbo hut..

Only really use this.

Although I think, hes very clever at what he does..

[Tom$]

He's hacked Sulake moderators too..
In a way its hacking, in a way it isnt. I guess Mod's are really thick for not checking email links etc.

[Black_Apalachi]

I havn't clicked the link but I take it the quote of Habbohut's apology is not from this Finch person (despite the implication by Loz)? :rolleyes:

[Murdoch]

The Habbohut appology was from me on behalf of the whole site.

[Black_Apalachi]

The Habbohut appology was from me on behalf of the whole site.

Right, so I'm confused. Loz appeared to say that the apology was sent by the hacker.

[bo$$]

:O Lmao. I cant see no reason why he could'nt.
Everyone has some security breach once in a while.
Because he doesn't 'hack'

LOL. I can't believe people are calling him a hacker :rolleyes:

^ Exactly. Emails + logins = victory +rep for having sense

They don't trust you twice! ;)


I agree, +rep. Anybody can do that.
Anyone can, yes.. but he's the only one doing it. (atm)

[Ash.]

They hacked ragezone aswell.

I love how you compare the security of Nasa along with that of Vbulliten fan sites..

[today]

I love how everyone gets worked up over this "guy", wow, he sent a email your point being?

[Yux]

Yep he also hacked SOM, and made it so it redirected to that rubbish ***** website, SOM is still offline because Mike can't be bothered to bring it back up just yet

[today]

SOM? what the hell is that

[bo$$]

SOM? what the hell is that

script-o-matic

[RareIce]

he's got more chance of getting raped by the pope than hacking nasa!

[today]

script-o-matic
I was expecting something good. Jesus. :/

[Pyroka]

What the hell were you expecting? Some amazing site which shows you all new furni images?! :rolleyes: Anyway, SOM aint that good really, it's just like a tutorial/discussion website for different things. Everyone has some insight into it as some amazingly bad scripting site, like for example, Krews. :rolleyes: I'm sure MSG would have something to say about this too!

I bet you're all wetting yourselves already at the thought of that. :rolleyes:

[Ardemax]

I got that email. I actually got two.
No idea how.

[Hitman]

The ***** site is a site that seems to be full of 'wannabe hackers' that 'hack' things and redirect it to ***** - as a competition or some thing of 'respect'.

:rolleyes: Lame.

[Purposeless2]

HAHHAHAHHA this is so laughable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If I had some hacking site I wouldn't add a habbo section because it turns his hacking forum into a kids forum

Gotta post it on a this forum I go on HA

[Assassinator]

Hack NASA? Get him to try and see how far he gets, by the time he's on the login page the FBI will be at his front door -_-

He's probarly a kid who poses as a proffesonal hacker, idiot.

Exactly lol no one can hack nasa without being caught.. Gary Mckinnon hacked nasa and got caught a year later and see how long he got in an american prison.

Tbh though I hope he does try and hack nasa and gets caught and ends up like Gary Mckinnon and I hope no one signs a partition to send him back home and free him, because Mckinnon hacked them for a reason and all finch does is hack to become 'known'

Why would he try to hack nasa? He's not that stupid. He hacks Habbo related stuff because he can and he thinks its funny. I do too. It just shows that mods and such are NORMAL people and that they can also be really stupid.

No someone said that he will hack nasa so i want to see him try and get caught and end up like Gary Mckinnon but without the petition people sign wanting him free
