THE STANDARD

The Hong Kong English newspaper Standard Hong Kong's website has been compromised by hackers @Cryptolulz666 and @EvoIsGod.

The website's database was compromised, data was published to Pastebin, and the hackers admitted to using a CMS vulnerability for SQL Injection to hack the website.

Only a small percentage of the database's around 12,000 users the majority of the data isn't leaked because of legal issues were made public by the hackers.

The majority of the data in the database, according to @Cryptolulz666, is very private and shouldn't be disclosed for privacy reasons.
