DataViper, a breach monitoring site is owned by cybersecurity researcher Vinny Troia who vows to expose real-life identities of prominent dark web hackers in the upcoming conference.
Many cybersecurity firms today host online data breach monitoring services which let users know if their data has been leaked somehow. They do so by collecting hacked databases from both across the dark web and surface web comprising of underground forums, Pastebin sites, and other possible avenues.
Then, when a user makes a query to check if they have been compromised, the user’s email address or username is searched through these databases to identify if any leaked records exist. One such service is DataViper which is run by Vinny Troia from a cybersecurity company named Night Lion Security.
In relation to this, today, a hacker ironically named Night Lion has leaked 8,225 databases from DataViper alleging that they maintained access to the company’s servers for 3 months while collecting the data.
A dark web domain was even sent to numerous researchers that contain details of the breach. Alongside, 482 JSON files which have samples of the data were also provided as proof of the incident.

To reap reward, the top 50 databases in terms of size were subsequently posted for sale on Empire, a dark web marketplace by the hacker as shown in the photo below:
