Latest Hacker Dump Looks Like Comcast, AT&T Data

Written by Ali Loney | June 27, 2012

CNET – (International) Latest hacker dump looks like Comcast, AT&T data. A group of hackers posted to the Web June 27 data that appears to include Comcast employee names, ages and salaries, as well as e-mails and passwords associated with AT&T VoIP service accounts. Proclaiming the kickoff of “#WikiBoatWednesday ... when all the members from @TheWikiBoat fight corruption, leak data, and bring down websites,” the hackers released the data in two different posts to the Pastebin Web site. One of the Twitter handles used by the group is @AnonymousWiki but the connection to the larger, decentralized collective known as “Anonymous” is unclear. As with many data dumps, it is unclear whether the data is what the hackers claim it is, whether it is current, who actually stole it, and how.
