Report: LulzSec hacking group releases Xbox Live, Facebook login info

4.4
Adding to the list of game-related companies it has attacked, LulzSec yesterday claimed to have stolen and leaked the login and password information for approximately 62,000 "internet accounts," reports the CBC. The stolen info is said to comprise logins/passwords from Facebook, Twitter, "dating sites," PayPal and, notoriously, Xbox Live. It is also claimed that the majority of accounts are from the United states, though several other countries are named in the report.

The account database info is still currently available through the LulzSec website (though we'd suggest not visiting) -- various folks on Twitter responding to the group claim to have done a variety of things with the information, from having a large pack of condoms delivered to an elderly woman, to one person saying they bilked a PayPal account for £250 ($404).

Earlier this week, the group attacked and successfully took down a handful of game industry websites, including EVE Online, Minecraft and The Escapist. All three sites quickly recovered and have been online since. Microsoft has yet to respond to request for comment on yesterday evening's alleged breach.

To any of you who might be afraid that they released your info, 1. Change your password. and 2. got on their website and go to the Email/Password release and just Ctrl+F and search if you have google chrome

goon_status if they get caugh, which they will eventually, they are gonna be facing major jail time, hacking major corporations websites and corrupting their data is a major felony.

Also taking peoples money off of paypal is another crime they will be charged with.
