In April 2020, the account hijacking and SIM swapping forum OGUsers suffered their second data breach in less than a year. As with the previous breach, the exposed data included email and IP addresses, usernames, private messages and passwords stored as salted MD5 hashes. A total of 263k email addresses across user accounts and other tables were posted to a rival hacking forum.

The majority of stuff being done on OGUsers is fraudulent, but I've seen multiple users on this forum have an account there.

I had a 3-4 year old account on there. After the May 2019 hack my account was just deleted. I was inactive but when I went back to the website one day some other kid had an account with my name. Admin said nothing could be done.

After a certain amount of time of being inactive, If you are upgraded, anyone can “steal” your name. That is the system they have there so that names aren’t hoarded by multi accounts. If a name is inactive and can’t be grabbed you have to pay $8 to claim it by paying it to Ace. Shit show I know lol (also this is a old post but you seemed confused by it
