Database of dark web host with 7600 websites leaked by KingNull

The dark web hosting firm known as Daniel’s Hosting was under cyber attacks since 2018.


In November 2018, Daniel’s Hosting, a dark web hosting service suffered a cyberattack resulting in 6500 of the websites hosted on it to go offline. Although it recovered from that attack, it suffered another one back in March this year when its entire database was deleted.


Following this, the owner, Daniel Winzen decided to shut down the service in its entirety, at least temporarily to see how things work out.

However, just recently, it has been revealed that the entire database has been dumped online by an attacker named KingNull. Uploaded on a file hosting service, the data contains:

3,671 email addresses
7,205 passwords of user accounts
8,580 private keys of dark web domains.
