After the server white-wolf.com has been hacked admins have refused \"to thank\" us.
We suggest you to buy database white-wolf.com all for 10 $.
In base of 65000 accounts with mails, icq, msn, personal data of users.
Mail for details whtwlfx@yahoo.com

Such a class act, eh? At least they don't claim to have cracked the passwords.

The database for sale for a whopping $10? A legit thief trying to sell that kind of info would be asking for thousands of dollars anyway.

No, see, this is spite. "You didn't pay our blackmail demands, so we'll sell your database really cheap to make sure it goes to as many people as possible!"

They have to know no one would be stupid enough to buy this now that it's public. The language structure also doesn't indicate it was typed by someone who speaks english as a first language... odds are, this is some kid who hopes to get free Paypal bucks by threatening people and making offers he can't back up.
