And here's the final bit. I'd like to think that is 100% conclusive proof of what happened. The IP range hijacked by backconnect.net, 72.20.0.0/24 returns interesting results on google: https://staminus.thecthulhu.com/zine.txt ## Global allows ALLOW_MAIN="" ALLOW_MAIN="$ALLOW_MAIN $RFC1918 $LOCAL" ALLOW_MAIN="$ALLOW_MAIN 72.20.1.2 72.20.0.0/24 69.197.1.0/24" # Internal Backconnect.net hijacked Staminus's internal management range 72.20.0.0/24 and used that to gain further access to Staminus's systems.

I know Bryant Townsend (ex staminus employee), Marshal Webb (aka m_nerva, lulzsec informant) and others from backconnect.net performed a similar BGP hijacking against staminus earlier this year.

Shortly afterwards, on 10th of march a zine is released leaking the Staminus user database and contents of several customer servers.

The times aren't the only interesting factor here, even the format of the release just screams m_nerva. Zines are very rare these days. So rare in fact that the last similar zine before the staminus hack was released in 2013 by HTP, a hacker group m_nerva was loosely affiliated with during it's early days.

I *strongly* believe Bryant Townsend and Marshal Webb hacked Staminus and produced the "Fuck 'em all." zine
