GnosticPlayers

GnosticPlayers is a computer hacking group, which is believed to have been formed in 2019 and gained notability for hacking Zynga,[1][2] Canva,[3][4] and several other online services.[5][6]

The Independent reported that GnosticPlayers had claimed responsibility for hacking other online businesses, and stealing hundreds of millions of credentials from web databases such as MyFitnessPal, Dubsmash, and fourteen others; and subsequently selling these credentials on the dark web.[7][8]

Reported members

In 2020, cybersecurity author Vinny Troia published a report listing the following core group members:[9]

  • Maxime Thalet-Fischer, who went under the aliases DDB, Casper, RawData and Pumpkin, was the seller of the group.
  • Nassim Benhaddou, who went under the alias Prosox, was a member of the group and was known to be Gabriel's early associate. According to Troia, Benhaddou later went on to form the group ShinyHunters.[10]

In 2019, Nassim Benhaddou, Gabriel Kimiaie-Asadi Bildstein, as well as Maxime Thalet-Fischer, were arrested after Gabriel confessed that they hacked Gatehub.[9] The hack reportedly involved the theft of $9.5 million worth of cryptocurrency.[11]
