Xenforo Statewins

Many XenForo administrators run "nulled" (pirated) versions of the software or commercial add-ons. These pirated copies often have backdoors hardcoded into them by the release group. Statewins has been known to host collections of these nulled plugins, which serve as trojan horses, allowing the uploader to later hijack the forum database.

In config.php, define:

Statewins emerged as a successor to other "leak" sites, gaining notoriety around the mid-2010s. Its stated purpose was to aggregate "state wins"—a crude term for leaked databases containing personal information from government, corporate, and private sources. The forum operated on a simple premise: users would upload "combo lists" (usernames and passwords), credit card dumps, Social Security numbers, and fullz (complete identity packages). Unlike the dark web, Statewins operated on the clearnet, relying on domain hopping to evade law enforcement.

The community culture was distinctly nihilistic. Discussions revolved not just around data but around the weaponization of that data—SIM swapping, account takeover, and public shaming known as "doxxing." Using XenForo, Statewins organized these illegal activities with corporate efficiency. The software’s "Resource Manager" add-on was used to catalog leaked databases like software downloads. Its "Trophies" and "Reaction" systems gamified the act of leaking, rewarding users with higher status for posting more sensitive or high-profile data. What could have been a chaotic, unusable archive became a streamlined, addictive marketplace for stolen identities. This prevents new admin accounts from being created

The second part of the keyword, "Statewins," refers to a notorious data leak website and archiving platform.

Emerging in the late 2010s, Statewins (often stylized as statewins.org or variants) gained infamy for hosting massive collections of "dox" (documents containing personal identifying information), breach data, and credentials obtained from compromised websites. The name implies a "win" against state-level surveillance or corporate security, though in practice, it functions as a searchable database for stolen information. The site has faced numerous domain seizures and

The site has faced numerous domain seizures and DDoS attacks, leading to it migrating across different TLDs (Top Level Domains). However, the brand lives on in hacker communities as a repository for "combolists" (usernames + passwords).
