The only DB paste is for vBulletin > 3.8.5 and he had a particularly strong password. Even after bruting it, and using wordlists and all kinds of stuff, it wasn't able to crack the salted hash.
It doesn't explain Armageddon/the other forumers being hijacked, though.
you underestimate the power of social engineering
if you tried hunting for DB's with just the username, you're doing it wrong.
considering bloxcity has come up numerous times, even a few times for session hijacking, it's safe to say there's a fairly decent amount of effort being put into account hijacking.
it's entirely possible that they're being friends with said people in other places to gain access to sources of info that would otherwise be inaccessible, which would easily reveal superior DB's
if you think that people wouldn't go to such lengths, you're fooling yourself. this type of bullstuff is exceedingly common in the gmod cheating and raid forums communities.
