Anonymous Hackers Release Over 13K Passwords and More Personal Information
By: Sally Henry Fuller Dec. 27, 2014
More hackers have recently released personal information from a few dozen sites.
Claiming to be part of "Anonymous," a movement of hackers who visually identify with the Guy Fawkes mask from the film V FOR VENDETTA, the hacker(s) claim to have released over 13,000 passwords and credit card information from sites including Amazon, Walmart, Hulu Plus, Playboy, and Xbox Live. Many of the additional sites are pornography-related.
They supposedly tweeted from an unconfirmed Twitter account (whose link does not seem to be available),
"#LulzXmas: VPNCyberGhost, UbiSoft, VCC, Brazzers, UFC TV, PSN, XBL Gamers, Twitch TV, Amazon, Hulu Plus, Dell, Walmart, (EA) Games, LEAKED.."
and,
"A total of approximately 13k accounts. We did for the Lulz."
The Daily Dot released a list of the sites from which the passwords came and recommend that those who have accounts on those sites change their passwords immediately.
However, updates from other sites suggest this content is comprised of credit card links previously released and not by an organized group.
