Nulled is an online cracking forum. It was previously shut down July 4th, 2024, but as of August 2024, the website is back up.
In 2016, Nulled became known as a target of a data breach which helped law enforcement to obtain information about possible 'suspects', who were registered on Nulled.[1][2][3]
Data breach
On 16 May 2016, Nulled was hacked and its database leaked.[3] The leaked data contained 9.65GB of users' personal information.[4][5] The leak included a complete MySQL database file which contained the website's entire data.[6] This data breach included 4,053 user accounts, their PayPal email addresses,[7][8] along with cracked passwords,[9] 800,593 user personal messages, 5,582 purchase records and 12,600 invoices.[2] The data breach also exposed email addresses hosted on government domains.[1][3][10] The identity of the crew that took down Nulled's database is not known, but there was speculation that state-sponsored hackers were involved.[10] Another article reported that a Romanian group claimed responsibility for the data breach.[11]
