How was this article found? You go up to the directory and there is a whole host of cruft. Not discounting the likelihood that this is how the attacker was successful -- none of it's bullshit anyways -- but seems odd that someone would just stumble upon this. Can't find out much about that site either other than the Datalove reference that makes it seem like some Telecomix thing. Anyways, interesting submission. Shows how quickly an attack can escalate and what easy tools are available for you to test your own sites for vulnerabilities.

I think the original paste-bin was posted on Reddit by the same account that posted the finfisher leaks. This is just a mirror.

Correct. Original link: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=cRYvK4jb

"OP" here is just mirroring (presumably for increased traffic) instead of linking to the true OP on pastebin.

Ah okay, that makes sense. Thank you.

I was looking into the peers seeding the torrent. There I found a host langley.fr seeding. That is how I got to the article.

Not OP, Ars Technica linked to it a couple of days ago.
