A hacker group by the name of DerpTrolling
claims to have hacked the PlayStation Network, Windows Live, and 2K
Games Studios platforms, posting many of the username/password
combinations on Pastebin to prove it.
According to CNET,
the Pastebin link includes usernames and passwords for 2,131
PlayStation Network users, 1,473 Windows Live users, and 2,000 2k Game
Studios users.
The hacking group had previously said it didn’t want to leak customer data, but explained why it changed its mind in the Pastebin document.
"We were advised by one of our friends
over at RedHack to make adjustments in our operations," the DerpTrolling
member said. "A show of force from us, would be an attack on 2K that
would be very similar to our attacks on Blizzard. Like I said,
DerpTrolling in no way wants to harm our children by leaking such
damaging data. It's only a warning to the companies."
We will just leave this here.http://t.co/MjN4mEmKNj

"We have 800,000 from 2K and 500,000
credit card data. In all of our raids we have a total of around 7
million usernames and passwords," he said. "We have around 2 million
Comcast accounts, 620,000 Twitter accounts, 1.2 million credentials
belonging to the CIA domain, 200,000 Windows Live accounts, 3 million
Facebook, 1.7 million EA origins accounts, etc.”
We’ve reached out to Microsoft, Sony, and 2K, and we’ll
update this story as soon as we learn more. As we wait for official word
from these companies, we strongly advise any users of these platforms
change the passwords associated with their accounts.microsoft-and-2k-2014-11#ixzz3JpyakGPM
