Kiwi Farms says someone hacked its website
by cybersecurity researcher Kevin Beaumont, it told users in a Telegram message that all avatars had been changed to the logo of another website and that"each node on the forum index was deleted one at a time."
While Kiwi Farms apparently has backups and none of the forum data has been permanently deleted, users' personal information may have been compromised. Founder Joshua Moon told users to assume that their email and password information has been obtained, as well as the IP address of any device they've used to access Kiwi Farms in the last month."I do not know for sure if any user information was leaked.
The hacker is said to have used an injected script to gather data from users' systems. Moon said they accessed his admin account as a result of this method. Moon added that he would restore the site from a backup, but noted that the process would take some time. However, he noted on Telegram today that he had to leave for a week to deal with a family emergency.following an effort to take down the forum.
