A seller on a famous cybercrime website claims to be selling source code and a database that they claim belongs to DDoS-Guard, the Russia-based hosting firm that helped social media company Parler relaunch after Amazon Web Services banned it. 

DDoS-Guard also offers computing capacity and restricts the recognition of website owners of hundreds of shady resources involved in unlawful goods sales, gambling, and copyright infringements, according to Group-IB research on online piracy. 

On May 26, Group-IB, a global threat hunting, and adversary-centric cyber intelligence firm specialized in investigating and combating high-tech cybercrime, uncovered a database supposedly connected to bulletproof hosting provider DDoS-Guard that was placed for sale on a cybercrime website. 

Customers’ names, IP addresses, and payment details are allegedly stored in the database. In addition to the database, the threat actor claims to possess the DDoS-Guard infrastructure’s source code. The entire collection is currently up for auction, with a starting bid of $350,000. Since the threat actor did not offer a sample, it is impossible to verify the legitimacy of the allegedly stolen material.
