Multiple Online Services Reportedly Hacked (2 Sources)

[BrokenDreams23]

The hacker group DerpTrolling claims to have hacked PSN, 2K Games Studios, and Windows Live accounts, and has posted usernames and passwords for those accounts on Pastebin to prove it. For PSN, 2,131 account logins have been made public.

 

DerpTrolling is the group that went after Blizzard’s World of Warcraft servers with a DDoS attack as the new Warlords of Draenor patch launched last week. In the past they have said no user data would be leaked because they just wanted to show the weaknesses in these systems, but no one was taking them seriously, so they stepped up their game.

 

The leak of thousands of logins is meant to act as a warning, nothing more. No attack will be carried out by DerpTrolling, but by making the login details public someone else may choose to try and take advantage of the data. What DerpTrolling want is for these public-facing systems to get security upgrades implemented as soon as possible, and this action is intended to force that to happen.

 

The claims made by DerpTrolling as to how much account information they actually hold is quite worrying. It includes a total of 7 million username and password combinations split across 2K, Twitter, Windows Live, Facebook, PSN, and EA’s Origin service. They also claim to have 500,000 credit card details.

 

I expect all the companies involved will be reviewing the data and reacting quickly to it if it’s legitimate. As a precaution you may want to go and change the password on any of the accounts you hold mentioned above. Only a small subset of the logins have been released so far, but if DerpTrolling doesn’t see a reaction it’s likely they’ll release the rest.

Hacker group DerpTrolling has released a "very small portion" of usernames and logins for three gaming networks in its possession as a "warning to companies".

 

DerpTrolling, the hacker group that claimed responsibility for a DDoS attack on Blizzard's servers over the weekend, has released a log of customer logins across the PlayStation Network, 2K Game Studios and Windows Live.

 

"Dear Internet," the Pastebin document reads, "The following is a very small portion of Lord Gaben and the rest of his crew's glorious raids across the high seas of the Internet."

 

Inside are usernames and passwords for 2,131 PSN users; 1,473 Windows Live users; and 2,000 2K Game Studios users.

 

The move runs contrary to the group's previous assertions that it did not want to leak customer data -- but the group has decided to change its tactics after finding that its efforts were not being taken seriously.

 

"We were advised by one of our friends over at RedHack to make adjustments in our operations," the DerpTrolling member said -- but noted that the move was not a show of force. "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."

 

The group hopes that, by leaking the customer credentials, it will force companies to upgrade their servers to prevent DDoS and data hacks, resulting in better customer service. And, although the leak isn't large in the grand scheme of things, the DerpTrolling member said that the group has much more data that it didn't leak.

 

"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."

 

He was keen to stress that DerpTrolling means business.

 

"There are a lot of people and fellow hackers who believe that DerpTrolling is just a bunch of kids. But the truth is we have been associated with and assisted every well known hacking group aside from The Syrian Electronic Army and LizardSquad (although we were invited to join LizardSquad)," he said.

 

"You heard about Anonymous knocking the entire .Mil domain offline? Well that was us! You hear of RedHack launching DDoS attacks against Turkey's government? That was us as well! You heard about LulzSec knocking gaming servers and websites offline? Well that was us too! And that was us who knocked Syria's internet offline earlier this year. DerpTrolling really has many forms, most people only see the Gaming side of us! We can be very serious hackers."

 

CNET has contacted Sony, Microsoft and 2K for comment and will update when we receive more information. We also advise that users of these services change their login details.

They sound like a group of guys just wanting to help make things more secure and safer. Can't blame people for waiting to prevent the bad hackers from doing shit.
