The company did not say how many members had their information compromised, but admitted that the number is higher than first thought. "Initially we believed that only a small number of these forum member records had been accessed, but further investigation has identified that the number is significantly larger," Nokia said on a message posted to the site.
Nokia said most members of its development community only had their e-mail addresses compromised because that's the only information they provided to the site. But those who provided further details, such as birth dates, IM user names, and homepage URLs, may also have had that information stolen as well. Nokia estimates that the latter category of users represents less than 7% of the total number of members affected
Prior to Nokia's shutting down of the site, visitors to the developer forums were greeted with an image of Homer Simpson shouting, "D'oh!" Above Homer's head was a caption that read, "Owned by pr0tect0r AKA mrNRG."
Users were redirected to a mirror page that bore a message mocking Nokia for weak security. "LOL, world's number 1 mobile company but not spending a dime for server security! ... patch your security holes otherwise you will be just another antisec victim." Antisec is a hackers' movement that targets corporate and government computer systems.
