Following through on
threats of a Christmas hack,
a Twitter account claiming affiliation with Anonymous released a list
of what it says are usernames and passwords for 13,000 accounts
on Amazon, PlayStation, XBox Live, Hulu Plus, Walmart and other retail
and entertainment services.
The hack additionally included credit card numbers, security codes and expiration dates.
The trove
was linked to in a Friday tweet.
Update: CyberGhost CEO Robert Knapp says the
group did not list user credentials from his service, but free
activation keys. He said there is no security vulnerability for
CyberGhost users.
In addition to providing account information for online retailer,
gaming and video services, the cache also includes information for a
variety of pornography sites. The Daily Dot has compiled a full
list of affected companies.
And just to top it off, the group included a stolen download of “The
Interview.” When Sony pulled the release of “The Interview,” Anonymous
claimed on Twitter they would release the film themselves.
It seems the company’s decision to distribute the film in certain
theaters and online in the U.S. did not deter the hackers. (As
TechCrunch noted earlier, “The Interview”
was reportedly torrented 750,000 times in its first 20 hours)
