This one's doing the rounds of the usual suspect HYIP ponzi forums:

Once again, the "hackers" did it.


There have been numerous scam sites open recently using a scam script calling itself Xshare Pro and every single site using it has been hacked and the members and admin funds stolen!

It is widely suspected that the creators of this script are the people behind the hacking and thefts according to gossip, however the script seems to be full of SQL Injection vulnerabilities and offers no data integrity or protection whatsoever.

The script was created and is offered by the cheapminisite.com scammers as they announced they had created it and then offered it for sale to all their customers. I am an ex web design customer of theirs, never again though as you should see the mess they made of our software sales site.

I looked at their script that they billed as a moneymaking script and figured out in about 30 seconds it wasn't a legit moneymaking script and then start seeing sites that were using it close down after a few weeks due to hacking, alert2pay.com. Here is an email sent out by a site using XShare Pro which also mentions another that was using it. Lots of these sites ended up closing after the same problems.

The scammers are now being scammed it seems.

"Hello Valued Members! (Please read this entire email)
It is with a heavy heart that I have no choice but to report that
Alert2Pay is closing today.

First and foremost - I will do my UTMOST to ensure that NO members
will be left out of pocket!!
I am refunding all deposits to those who did not earn anything on
their investments! The refunds will be processed today and I will try
to cover every member who did not get a chance to earn with Alert2Pay!

We cannot pay commissions however, nor can we pay monies back to those
who are already in profit.

Now, for the explanation...BE WARNED!!

Alert2Pay was being attacked by one of the world\'s biggest hackers
who goes by many names, One of the names is Wealthy Rick, or the most
recent Alex, who is the current owner of wealthadz.com and many other
websites. This hacker has been hacking into members accounts, stealing
their money, changing their username, passwords, and payment emails
while withdrawing it into his own account. He also stole more than
$60,000 from Alert2Pay by hacking into our server, uploading a API
agent and retrieving our API details which is used to make mass
payments to members.

This hacker has stolen our entire database and is uploading it to his
websites and selling the leads as package deals to the members of his
sites. So with that being said, you will need to change your username
and passwords to all your programs. This hacker is following people
around , logging into their most recent programs (using their previous
username and password) and stealing their money.

With that being said, we are holding onto our last bit of dollars and
we will use this to pay our major investors back first, then we will
work on the smaller payments last. This is the only way that I, the
owner of Alert2Pay can close down this program. I would not be able to
live with myself knowing that somebody lost 5 to 10,000 dollars when
there are families out there starving and homeless. I cannot promise
that every investor who did not earn with us will get their money
back, because at some point, what we do have left will run out. I am
deeply sorry and I apologize that you had to go through this torment!

As you may or may not know, profitadz.com is one of the other
sites that has been a victim of this same person. The Admin, Thomas
Sullivan is a well respected honest Admin, and has his hands full too,
trying to recover. The hacker somehow redirected this mans site to his
newest site, set up to scam members out of their money. Sounds
familiar don\'t it? Remember when we were alert2pay.com, yes, he stole
that from us too.

In closing, I want you all to know that despite the actions of this
hacker, I did everything in my power to keep Alert2pay going. I spent
countless hours, quite a few bucks, and sleepless nights trying to
keep the hacker at bay, because the members are top priority, but in
the end, the hacker had to win...before he hacked more members
accounts!!

I want you all to know that my Partner Cathy Evans, has done her best
to help, but this has been out of her hands as well. She is a
wonderful woman and she made my job as the admin here a heck of lot
easier! Please do not blame her, she was our support admin and had
nothing to do with payments whatsoever! I want to thank Cathy for
everything that she\'s done to make A2P one of the greatest sites to
hit the net.

I\'m closing this update now and the refunding process will begin. I
will be posting more information about the hacker on the front page of
Alert2Pay and I will expose as much as I can! The website will stay up
for this purpose only. Please be aware of this guy because he is
hacking everything and everybody! Also please get protection for your
computer and run a complete scan everyday. I found tracking cookies
and a trojan on my computer and I strongly believe this is what he\'s
using to gather your personal information. Please stay safe and
farewell.

The Alert2Pay program has ended."

IOW, "we've run out of new members, there's no money left and we're running away with our profits"

WE WIN - YOU LOSE
