Abdilo, the Australia based hacker who had hacked and stolen 770,000 records from Australian travel insurance company, Aussie Travel Cover, has now taken to live streaming of his hacking exploits.
Australian website, ABC, had revealed yesterday that Abdilo was responsible for what could be the largest breach of private details in Australian history.
Perhaps brazened by his hack exploits and publicity with Aussie Travel Cover hack,ย Abdilo was back to hacking and this time chose to focus his attention on education websites based in United States. ย Abdilo chose to live stream his hacking activities for all those who are interested in his exploits by posting them on streaming website, join.me.
He took down website of a US university based in Illinois through SQL injection attack and stole the database structure. ย He thenย posted the database structure called email_list online. The email_list appears to contain message data and attachments.

i think these “hackers” should be employed by major companies, to test and find any vulnerabilities in theyr security systems.Instead of chasing them down, putting them into jail, we could use theyr skills.Anyone agree?
offcourse what are u saying is right but these kind of hackers cannot be trusted anymore and there are doors for companies to enter through it my friend.
Its not as fun
Brilliant idea, maybe we can hire people who shoot up shopping malls and use them to point out flaws in shopping mall security. Instead of chasing them down, putting them into jail, we could use their skills. Anyone agree?
If hackers wanted to do that don’t you think they’d start their own businesses and offer their services to major companies. Moron!
Aladyn, they do that sometimes. It’s pretty coool
As a BlackHat doesn’t have a long future, but White Hat you can still doing what you love and earn some money and respect as a professional. …
