IPTV providers and sellers are again being hacked by an unknown individual demanding ransoms payable in bitcoin.

However, it now appears that paying off the hacker doesnt always settle the matter.

Even more interesting is that fingers are being pointed towards someone potentially involved with a company that offers software solutions, a claim the company itself denies.

However, a couple of years ago a new threat emerged after several IPTV providers were targeted by a hacker.

Warning signs first appeared on the homepage of Helix Hosting, when the alleged hacker revealed that the provider had been given the option to pay a small amount in order to prevent all of his customers details from being leaked online.

There was no question that this was a serious problem for Helix.

The amount was significant 70k payable in bitcoin but that was not the full extent of the attacks.

Several other providers were targeted too, always with the same modus operandi but differing amounts.

What was clear, however, is that many attacks were going unreported in public, most probably due to the sensitive nature of the businesses being targeted.

Very early on, at least one provider publicly suggested that billing software (provided by WHMCS Smarters and used by hundreds perhaps thousands of providerssellers) couldve been part of the problem.

Some major providers paid up to 70k USD to the hacker and some of these exploits were covered on Torrent Freak.

The hacker has probably hit at least 50 smaller IPTV providers, maybe more, thats only the ones we know of, always asking for Bitcoin as a ransom, the moderator reveals.

But of course, those targeted didnt have the luxury of seeking legal support or even protection from the police, so the extortion scheme continued and the pressure mounted for a while, before eventually tailing off.

The allegations coming out now are a concern, to say the least.

Dont ever provide them passwords to your servers for any reason.

In response, we again asked whether he would commit to carrying out a security audit within the company as part of an investigation.

My real brother and cousin brother and my one sister are working as team leaders and they are responsible for the installation and updating of billing panels.

I told my team to force the clients to change the password when the installation is done.

Indeed, according to the Reddit moderator (who has good connections in the IPTV community), paying up may not be the end of the story.

Its no guarantee that he wont leak your info if you pay him, he adds.

By the way he can hack the newest WHMCS version if you give Smarters any server passwords.

However, they arent ruling out revealing that in the future, if the hacker persists.
