Gab CEO Andrew Torba confirmed Monday that the breach of Gab by sexually deviant left-wing hackers earlier in the day was not, in fact, a new attack on the website’s infrastructure, and actually relied on harvested authorization tokens taken during the original hack in February.
“The attacker who stole data from Gab harvested OAuth2 bearer tokens during their initial attack,” Torba revealed in a statement. “Though their ability to harvest new tokens was patched, we did not clear all tokens related to the original attack. By reusing these old tokens, the attacker was able to post 177 statuses in an 8-minute period today. We have not independently verified the information that the hacker posted is authentic.”
Torba continued, “Gab immediately took the site offline, suspecting this was a new attack. We have been able to confirm it was not a new attack, have cleared all compromised tokens, and are requiring users to log in again. As this is not a new attack and no new data has been compromised, there is no need to change your password or take any other action.”
