LulzSec Over, Gaming Forums Leaked

It looks like notorious hacking group Lulzsec have, after “50 days of lulz”, ceased operations, at least in their current guise.

Their last hurrah, though, is a biggie – they’ve leaked a huge amount of data which includes 50,000 “random gaming forum” usernames, email addresses and – in some cases – passwords.  It’s not clear which forums the lists are from.

In addition, there’s “internal data” on AOL and AT&T, a list of half a million Battlefield Heroes Beta users, 200,000 users from Hackforums, more on the FBI and a list of routers that haven’t had their admin usernames changed.  Oh, and more.

“It’s time to say bon voyage,” says the team’s last press release. “Our planned 50 day cruise has expired, and we must now sail into the distance, leaving behind – we hope – inspiration, fear, denial, happiness, approval, disapproval, mockery, embarrassment, thoughtfulness, jealousy, hate, even love.”

“If anything, we hope we had a microscopic impact on someone, somewhere. Anywhere.”

We’ve checked the file and – although we do strongly suggest you check it yourselves – it looks like TSA wasn’t compromised, thankfully.  Would have made for a shitty birthday for everyone if it was.

This post on GAF has links to downloads of the Battlefield and Forum Member lists without the passwords included so you can see – we strongly advise you check out for yourselves whether you’re on the lists. If you’re on a list with a plaintext password – and you use it elsewhere – change all your other passwords.

As always, passwords should be unique for each and every service and site you use.
