Exposed.su
Exposed.su was a website focused on the listing of personal information of celebrities and other high-profile figures.[1]
The credit history information appears to have been obtained through the hacking of 3 US credit history databases, Equifax, Experian and TransUnion, possibly by hackers based in a former Soviet Union country.[2]
In April 2013 Brian Krebs linked his swatting incident to the coverage of this site.[3][4]
The site was shut down in March 2013 before jumping to other domains[5] and has since been mirrored on the Dark Web.
