Astropid

What Happened

In December 2013, the vBulletin forum for the social engineering site known as "AstroPID" was breached and leaked publicly. The site provided tips on fraudulently obtaining goods and services, often by providing a legitimate "PID" or Product Information Description. The breach resulted in nearly 6k user accounts and over 220k private messages between forum members being exposed.
