Ashley Madison Website Hack Exposing Adulterers Leads To New Divorce Cases Being Filed


Ashley Madison website

Recently, hackers stated they had hacked the Ashley Madison website, where users have registered and paid to meet other people willing to commit adultery. The hackers calling themselves the Impact Team, threatened to release the names, financial data and sexual fantasies of members of the Ashley Madison website. As a result, Ashley Madison and a related website Established Men, both owned by Avid Media Life, were under threat by the hackers for weeks.

On August 18, 2015, the personal and identifying data for members of the Ashley Madison website was illegally released to the public by hackers and the document dump contains 1,000,000 unique email addresses, names, credit card numbers and other related information. Despite the fact the Ashley Madison site boasts 37,000,000 members, some people maintained multiple accounts, which means the site likely has 1,000,000 unique users/members, not 37,000,000.

The hack and release of private data identifying site members has damaged many relationships. Divorce lawyers have reported an increase in calls regarding people who discovered their spouses are registered members of the Ashley Madison website. Celebrities have also been caught up in the scandal, as having used the website.

The premise of the Ashley Madison website, which is “Life is short. Have an affair” is a terrible one. So many people around the world have been hurt by a site that never should have been created in the first place, as it promotes adultery, which is harmful and hurtful. Now families are being destroyed as a result of the web site’s existence.

The FBI is currently investigating the hack, as it has violated scores of federal laws (not to mention, some of their names are probably on the site as adulterers). Avid Life Media is also going to be crushed by a flurry of lawsuit from all over the world. The Ashley Madison website was a bad idea that has and will further prove quite costly.

Hackers dump data from cheating website Ashley Madison online: reports

Tue Aug 18, 2015 10:01pm EDT Related: U.S. - Hackers have followed through on a threat to release online a huge cache of data, including customer information, that was stolen a month ago from cheating spouses website AshleyMadison.com, several tech websites reported on Tuesday.

Reuters was not immediately able to confirm the authenticity of the posting. The data was posted onto the dark web, meaning it is only accessible using a specialized browser, although vast lists of hundreds of email addresses including many linked to corporations and universities sprouted up on other sites hours after the news broke.

The hackers, who call themselves The Impact Team, leaked snippets of the compromised data in July and threatened to publish names and salacious details of as many as 37 million customers unless Ashley Madison and EstablishedMen.com, another site owned by Toronto-based parent company Avid Life Media, were taken down.

3 People Commit Suicide After Being Exposed As Adulterers Due To The Hack On The Ashley Madison Website


Ashley Madison website

The invasive computer hack of the Ashley Madison website for adulterers has claimed three lives. It is being reported that San Antonio, Texas Police Captain Michael Gorhum and two unnamed Canadians have committed suicide after cruel, vile hackers exposed them and over a million other individuals as cheating on their spouses via the Ashley Madison website.

The felonious hackers going by the name the Impact Team hacked over 1,000,000 unique users and exposed their real names, credit card numbers and private sexual fantasies online for anyone to read. It resulted in people filing for divorce from their spouses and many ruined reputations. The hack was highly illegal and has attracted the attention of the FBI in America and authorities in Canada, who have open investigations into the matter. The Ashley Madison website is owned by Toronto based, Avid Life Media, run by Noel Biderman. The company also maintains an office in New York.

It is the Judiciary Report’s view that not only should said hackers face computer intrusion and identity theft charges, they should also be brought up on manslaughter charges for the deaths of the aforementioned three people. What you did is not cute or funny. It was sick. Choices have consequences. What goes around comes around. You don’t cost people their lives and get away with it. Make no mistake, it will come back to you and the same suffering you have inflicted on others will befall you.

Police Captain and 2 Other People Reportedly Kill Themselves After Ashley Madison Hack

12:41 PM EDT, August 24, 2015 - Three people - including a Texas police chief - have reportedly taken their lives after their email addresses were part of the Ashley Madison hack last week. Hackers claimed they released details of more than 30 million people who had accounts with the website, which spouses use to find affairs.

Captain Michael Gorhum, who had worked for the San Antonio Police Department, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound last Thursday, KSAT reported. His official email address was among those released in the hack, according to the IB Times. INSIDE EDITION has confirmed that an email address in his name is listed...


Toronto police report two suicides associated with Ashley Madison hack

Monday 24 August 2015 16.23 BST Last modified on Monday 24 August 2015 18.34 BST - Unconfirmed reports suggest that two people in Toronto have killed themselves over the Ashley Madison hack, local police said in a briefing providing details about the beginning of the leak.

“As of this morning, we have two unconfirmed reports of suicides that are associated because of the leak of Ashley Madison customers’ profiles,” Toronto police service staff superintendent Bryce Evans said at a press conference on Monday. Evans said the nature of the dating site for married people was “of no interest to us as the investigative teams”.

Security analyst Brian Krebs said last week he feared exactly that outcome. “There’s a very real chance that people are going to overreact. I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw people taking their lives because of this, and obviously piling on with ridicule and trying to out people is not gonna help the situation,” Krebs, who first reported the hack, said on Wednesday.

The hack, in which some 33m profiles from the service were published online, has been the focus of extortion and phishing attempts. Among them are “hack checking” websites that compile the emails of the curious entered into them and then send malicious software to those emails. Evans also said that a new scam, claiming to erase names from the Ashley Madison database in order to preserve users’ privacy, had sprung up in the few days since the hack.

“By clicking on these links, you are exposing your computer to adware, spyware, malware and viruses,” Evans said. “Multiple sites have now downloaded [the Ashley Madison user database] and are present. Nobody is going to be able to erase that information. There are confirmed cases of people trying to extort Ashley Madison clients.”

On 12 July, Evans told reporters, workers at the Toronto-based company logged into their computers and were greeted with “a threatening message” read over AC/DC’s Thunderstruck by hackers (or hacker) the Impact Team. The hack was made public on 20 July by the Impact Team alongside a note demanding Ashley Madison cease operation; on 20 August, Impact Team released all the information onto a deep-web site with a message that began “Time’s up!” Information from Ashley Madison’s sister site, Established Men, has not been released.

“When reporting these events to the police, Avid Life Media advised that the suspects had already made good on the threat by releasing the information on two Ashley Madison clients, one from Mississauga, Ontario, and the other from Brockton, Massachusetts, through the internet, which happened on July the 19th,” Evans said.

Avid Life Media, the company behind Ashley Madison, has offered a $500,000 Canadian dollar ($380,000 US) reward for information leading to the arrest of the hackers.

• In the US and Canada, the National Suicide Prevention Hotline is 1-800-273-8255. In the UK, the Samaritans can be contacted on 08457 90 90 90. In Australia, the crisis support service Lifeline is on 13 11 14. Hotlines in other countries can be found here.


Ashley Madison: 'Suicides' over website hack

7 hours ago- Two individuals associated with the leak of Ashley Madison customer details are reported to have taken their lives, according to police in Canada.

The police in Toronto gave no further information about the deaths. Ashley Madison's Canadian parent company Avid Life Media is offering a C$500,000 (£240,000) reward for information on the hackers, they added.

Details of more than 33m accounts were stolen from the website, which offers users the chance to have an affair. Addressing the hackers, known as The Impact Team, acting staff superintendent Bryce Evans of the Toronto police said: "I want to make it very clear to you your actions are illegal and we will not be tolerating them. This is your wake-up call."

Police are seeking information from members of the wider hacker community that might aid their investigation. The breach was "very sophisticated", said Detective Menard from the technological crime unit of Toronto Police. Mr Evans confirmed that credit card data was included in the original data dump released by The Impact Team...

"This hack is one of the largest data breaches in the world and is very unique on its own in that it exposed tens of millions of people's personal information," he added.

Police have set up a Twitter account, @AMCaseTPS, and hashtag, #AMCaseTPS, in a bid to gather information about the hack from members of the public.

Real Housewives Of Atlanta's Apollo Claims He Is Not Cheating On Phaedra But Reports Keep Stating Otherwise


Phaedra Parks, Apollo Nida and their two sons

Apollo Nida, one of the married stars of “The Real Housewives Of Atlanta” has denied claims he is cheating on his wife, Phaedra Parks, but claims keep surfacing indicating otherwise. A groupie came forward claiming she’s having an affair with him, but as she remained anonymous, some did not take her claims seriously. Then on Valentine’s Day, Nida, a father of two, was spotted with another woman. However, he claims he was making a paid appearance at an event and the woman in question was a friend of the family. 



The upcoming episode of “The Real Housewives Of Atlanta” features a scene with Apollo and home wrecker Kenya Moore, flirting with each other (again) in a manner that upset his wife. Months ago, Nida stated Moore offered him oral sex, which he declined. However, openly flirting with her on the show, disrespecting his long suffering wife, will give the public the impression that something is going on. Considering Parks, a lawyer, is representing Apollo in his current criminal case for massive identity theft and bank fraud, he really should think twice about making her angry, lest she helps the government send him to jail (LOL).

It Appears 'Real Housewives Of Atlanta' Star Apollo Nida Married Phaedra Parks For Love


Phaedra Parks, Apollo Nida and their children Ayden and Dylan

Many assumed that “Real Housewives Of Atlanta” star, Apollo Nida, 35, who is a former felon, married middle class lawyer, Phaedra Parks, 44, for money when he came out of jail after a 5-year stint behind bars. However, Nida was running a $3,000,000 identity theft fraud scam since the time of his release, indicating he fraudulently had millions of dollars at his disposal. This could indicate Nida actually married Parks for love. It appears Parks was not his suga mama, as was widely assumed. 


Nida is said to be negotiating a deal with the feds and a settlement to reimburse victims of his identity theft crimes, in a desperate bid to avoid going back behind bars. It remains to be seen whether the government will permit Nida to avoid prison on such serious charges.

Homeland Security Searching For Malware From Belarus Illegally Infecting The ObamaCare Website (Confirming This Site’s Previous Claims That The Health Care Site Has Been Hacked)


Obama: you hacked my stuff?!

In the article November 18, 2013 article Congress Gives Americans A One Year Extension To Keep Health Insurance After Being Dropped Because Of Obamacare the Judiciary Report stated the ObamaCare website bears signs of hacking. The next day computer security experts testified in Congress that they believe the site was hacked, confirming the Judiciary Report’s claims (Experts State Obamacare Website Hacked Just As This Site Previously Stated).

This week it was announced in the Washington Free Beacon , the U.S. Department of Homeland Security is searching Belarus regarding malware illegal implanted on the ObamaCare website via hacking, causing it to malfunction, while unlawfully obtaining the personal information of registrants  (http://freebeacon.com/the-belarusian-connection). 


Obamacare website

It’s sad that anyone would tamper with any website, illegally trying to deface, damage or destroy it. However, it is particularly bad when someone does this to a website relating to health care. That’s people’s health and lives. There’s nothing admirable about targeting any site that has to do with the public’s health.

Could More Cast Members Of 'Real Housewives Of Atlanta' Be Headed To Prison


Apollo Nida and Phaedra Parks

Atlanta, Georgia is a beautiful place. The homes are large and affordable, the landscaping is lovely and the stores plenty, making it easy for many to live like rock stars. However, among a certain set of famous people in Atlanta, things get very competitive, with some trying to outdo others in living a luxury lifestyle.

This is the case of "Real Housewives Of Atlanta" reality stars, but some have taken it too far, as in illegal territory. Many of the stars on the show are not rolling in money, as they would have you think. They're not broke, but they aren't rich either. However, one of the richest stars on the show made his money through criminal activity he kept quiet.

Apollo Nida, the husband of co-star, Phaedra Parks, grew tired of his lawyer girlfriend-turned-wife making more money than he does and embarked on an elaborate scheme to illegally make money. Nida opened 40 bank accounts via identity theft and stole over $3,000,000 in checks and fake auto loans. 


Apollo Nida's mugshot from 2009

It's is now being stated other members of the cast could be implicated in the scandal, among them Parks, but the reports in this regard have not been confirmed. Previously Parks was implicated in Nida's criminal activity that sent him to prison for 5-years as apart of an auto theft ring. Angela Stanton wrote a book labeling Parks the mastermind behind the auto theft ring Nida went to prison for. 

If Parks is involved in the criminal activity her husband has been nabbed in twice, this would be sad. Why go to university for 7-years to become a lawyer, gain the capability to earn a large income, then fall into a life of crime. That would be such a waste of a legal mind and years of hard work.  

One thing is for sure, Bravo will capitalize on the scandal, which will pull in ratings as people seek to get the inside scoop on the legal issues engulfing cast members. The public wants to know what happened in this case, but answers are not forthcoming from Parks, Nida or the rest of the cast.

Apollo Nida's Arrest For $3,000,000 Identity Theft Scheme Could Send Him Back To Prison And Bankrupt His Family

Government Eyeing Freezing And Seizing Assets


Apollo Nida and Phaedra Parks

Reality TV just got real on the "Real Housewives Of Atlanta." Apollo Nida, the ex-convict husband of lawyer Phaedra Parks, is under criminal indictment on massive identity theft charges. The U.S. Secret Service, charged with protecting the President of the United States, also addresses select crimes dealing with mail and wire fraud. The Secret Service brought Nida up on charges alleging he stole $3,000,000 via creating fake companies to committ identity theft and open many bank accounts to house the stolen funds. 

Previously, Nida spent 5-years in jail for changing the VIN numbers on cars to sell stolen automobiles. His wife was implicated in the scandal in a tell-all book. However, she faced no charges and represented Nida in the case. Once Nida was released from prison, the two got married and started their own family. The coupe have two young sons. With family comes responsibility. However, with the way things are going, Parks will have to raise her sons without Nida. 

Prior to the "Real Housewives Of Atlanta" Parks was most known for being singer Bobby Brown's attorney during his troubling bouts with drugs and alcohol and during his divorce from the late legendary singer, Whitney Houston. 

Parks took a chance on Nida, where some probably warned her about his past and the time he did in prison. However, everyone deserves a second chance. Many come out of prison and do no re-offend. There are many who were arrested for crimes who have been living honest, successful lives. They deserve to be commended for turning their lives around. But Nida didn't do that. He went right back to crime. 


Apollo fighting on last week's episode of the "Real Housewives Of Atlanta" as his wife tries to stop him

Nida had a new life with Parks, who helped him with his legal troubles. He even started a career as a personal trainer. There's nothing wrong with a woman helping her man get through a rough time and trying to build him up into a successful, respectable member of society. However, problems occur when people refuse to leave their old life of crime behind, attempting to get quick money and unethically climb the ladder of success overnight. 

It's regrettable Nida didn't learn from his past mistakes that landed him in prison. To come out of prison, meet and marry a successful lawyer, move into her lovely home, have two kids with her and a new career, was a blessing and one Nida took for granted. 

He preferred the fast life of illegally gained money, spending thousands on strippers at the strip club, cheating on his wife and taking her for granted. Now he's facing up to 20-years in prison. If convicted he is going to miss his children growing up, which is something you can't put a price tag on. Rather than satisfying with the wife he has, he cheated on her and is now potentially facing years without the company of a woman in a men's prison (and as pretty as he is, if he is sent back to prison, gay men are going to target him behind bars). 


Be thankful for what you have in life. Treasure your freedom. It's better to live within your means and work hard to properly and ethically progress in society, than to end up in prison for years over a fast rise up the ladder of success that came from criminal activity.

Is The Hack Of FBI Director Robert S. Mueller And Attorney General Eric Holder Grounds For Termination


FBI Director Robert S. Mueller is pointing the finger of blame while the hackers are giving him the finger

Should the hacks and subsequent disclosure of financial information of FBI Director Robert S. Mueller and Attorney General Eric Holder on the website http://exposed.su result in their termination from office. They are supposed to be security experts. Some would state the security breach calls their credentials into questions (yes, I have PMS).

Last July when I was in lovely London for a few months, while walking down Park Lane I spotted a credit card on the ground. As the sidewalk is gray at that spot, as was the credit card, most people didn’t see it. However, as I have a habit of looking down when I walk, I saw it. I picked up the card and looked at it. I checked the back for the information of the issuing bank, so I could send the card to them. It was a high level credit card issued by the Belgium branch of Deutsche Bank.

I contacted the London branch of Deutsche Bank and offered to mail them the card I found, as they had no commercial branches listed. They asked me if I could come to the investment branch of the bank instead and I did and gave the card to their computer security department, who called Belgium to locate the owner while I was there.


President Barack Obama to Eric Holder: you know they hacked your stuff, right?!

At first I thought to post an item on the site, which is read by millions around the world, informing the person to contact me, as I’d found his card. However, when I did an internet search of the name on the card, I discovered a link that led to a business profile and a social networking page indicating the person was in London on business.

Turns out the card holder is an executive, who is head of security at a multi-billion dollar company. Had I posted that I’d found his card, he probably would have lost his job, which I didn’t want to happen, as who knows how the card ended up on the ground in the first place. So, I dropped the card off at the investment branch of the bank instead.

Having stated that, Holder and Mueller aren’t executives at a large corporation. They are two high ranking, albeit chronically corrupt, members of government directly responsible for national security. Mrs. Obama can’t be blamed for being hacked, but Holder and Mueller bear some responsibility, especially considering they have a tie to the very people who hacked them that they managed to tick off. It would make for a very interesting congressional hearing.

News Corp's Phone Hacking Case Exposed People's Personal And Financial Data

     

Rupert Murdoch is a very sick man

[Article background: this is another in the series of phone hacking articles the Judiciary Report has published, regarding a scandal I broke first in October 2005, via a police complaint I filed with the Metropolitan Police in London, England. 80 people have been arrested by the Metropolitan Police since the time I filed the complaint. However, the Murdochs and other key conspirators remain free and the FBI has not arrested anyone, though the crimes began and continue in News Corp's New York headquarters] 
 
 The News Corp phone hacking case has been a great injustice on so many levels. Corrupt CEO, Rupert Murdoch, his questionable family and lawbreaking company, News Corp, so illegally and secretly embedded themselves of thousands of people for undue financial gain, privacy was completely lost.

During their illegal phone hacking, computer hacking, blagging and stalking activities carried out by private investigators and their minions, not only did the Murdochs and News Corp perversely learn the secrets of many people's lives, folks personal and financial information was also unlawfully obtained.


Rupert Murdoch and wife Wendi Murdoch

The Murdoch family and News Corp are sitting on the tax payer IDs, driver licenses numbers, bank account numbers, mortgage numbers and balances, car note details, home security information and in many cases, the medical records of the victims in the case. 

This will also facilitate future access to the private and business lives of the victims in the case. Try as you may to change your data, once a criminal, like those at News Corp, have possession of your tax payer identification number, which many businesses, particularly financial institutions such as banks, use to verify the identity of callers, your personal and financial data is not safe. 



Phone hacking has been happening in America but the FBI is on Murdoch's payroll


Not only will they know your bank balances, they can hear your account activity (debit or credit card), telling them where you have been and where you are going, based on purchases, such as airline tickets and hotel reservations. News Corp relies on said data to secretly stalk people for stories when high  profile figures elude them, as well as write about their finances. 

As the person that broke the case online in 2005, I can attest I was a victim of identity theft, as mentioned on the site previously. This enabled them to know everything I purchased and to this day, the bank still uses my tax payer identification number for verification over the phone. 



News Corp's companies illegally benefiting from phone hacking and computer hacking, among other crimes


The FBI has been refusing to release the Freedom of Information Act files they have in their possession, which they acknowledged the existence of in writing, regarding the phone hacking case, identify theft and criminal copyright infringement as it relates to me, due to the fact it is incriminating to Murdoch and the Hollywood cult he is a member of, Kabbalah, as is deranged troublemaker Madonna

Phone hacking has been actively taking place in America for years. I have been a victim of it. This year it was also revealed singer Charlotte Church and actor Jude Law were phone hacked while on U.S. shores, in the FBI's jurisdiction. However, due to a bribe, the FBI is covering up the entire thing. 


FBI Director Robert S. Mueller and Barack Obama

But not to worry, the film I've written about the case begins shooting this month and I am going to fill in all the blanks the FBI and DOJ keep trying to cover up on behalf of high profile criminals disgracing the government to the nation and the world and it is the account of what transpired that will stand. The public is going to be surprised, appalled and disgusted when they find out the whole truth.

Alex Salmond Gave Evidence That News Corp Accessed His Bank Account In The Phone Hacking Case


James Murdoch, Elisabeth Murdoch, Rupert Murdoch and Lachlan Murdoch are nothing but a family of criminals

[Article background: this is another in the series of phone hacking articles the Judiciary Report has published, regarding a scandal I broke first in October 2005, via a police complaint I filed with the Metropolitan Police in London, England. 46 people have been arrested by the Metropolitan Police since the time I filed the complaint. However, the Murdochs and other key conspirators remain free and the FBI has not arrested anyone, though the crimes began and continue in News Corp's New York headquarters]

This month, Alex Salmond testified at the Leveson hearings into News Corp’s invasion of privacy in the pone hacking case. Salmond stated News International/News Corp illegally accessed his bank accounts, making this news public for the first time.

As stated previously on my websites, I experienced the same in 2004, when my bank account was illegally accessed via a News Corp and Kabbalah hacker, who tried to spend all the money in my account, when I announced the release of my CD.

They were trying to illegally use up all the funds I had to press up copies of the CD and promote it online via advertising, by illegally accessing my bank account, via the debit card and spending so much money, so fast, it raised the suspicion of the bank, who stopped the criminal misconduct.

The malicious hack and identity theft was halted by Miami's Transatlantic Bank via their card monitoring service. A representative from the company woke me up early one morning on the east coast of America, to inform me many purchases were being made on the west coast of America, using my debit card, which did not fit my pattern of spending and made no sense. 

This incident was reported to the FBI, but due to a bribe Kabbalah, via Murdoch's business associate and fellow Kabbalah member, Madonna, gave the head of the agency, Robert S. Mueller, the investigative documents pertaining to it was covered up, as said conduct constitutes several felonies. 

The mere fact News Corp and Kabbalah are breaking the law in such a flagrant fashion, believing they have some right to criminally access people’s bank accounts out of malice, while spying on them, betrays the severe level of criminal intent said entities possess. They are crazy and out of control.

Whereas the Metropolitan Police in London  have been doing something about their criminal misconduct, the FBI in America continues to protect Murdoch and Kabbalah, who are also committing crimes in the United States. The Obama Administration is well aware of this fact, but has looked the other way to said crimes that are harming innocent people in America.

Sony Losing Cyber War To Hackers Who Are Battering Them In Several Countries


Howard Stringer

Sony is under attack on several fronts, by a group of unnamed hackers that continue to pummel the company over the internet, with blow after blow. Sony's music, video game and mobile phone websites in America, Canada, Japan, Greece, Thailand, Taiwan and Indonesia, have been seriously hacked, with millions of consumers' personal and financial data stolen.

Houses of legislature in America and Taiwan are angry, demanding answers from Sony, who've gone silent again. The public was not amused when it was revealed Sony's internet defenses failed, due to software firewalls that were not being updated in a timely fashion, to address emerging exploits.

The company is facing $24 billion in losses from the hacks alone, in damage that keeps mounting. It's stock and profits are way down, as the hacks and earthquake, then tsunami that damaged its Japanese headquarters, wreaked havoc on sales and productivity. Based on mainstream articles, more hacks are planned against the beleaguered company, who do not seem to grasp the gravity of what has transpired nor what they are facing.

Sony is losing consumers in droves, who no longer feel they can safely shop for music or phones or pay to play video games on the company's websites. As such, Sony products have become tainted. I cannot recall a single corporation that was battered this badly by hackers.

The CEO of Sony, Howard Stringer, insanely referred to the massive hack that stole the financial and personal data of 100,000,000 of their customers as a "hiccup" while the newly relauched PlayStation site goes down and off the internet again. Anonymous is playing with him, due to the arrogant statements he keeps making. Stringer once again confirmed what I and others have stated - Sony is crazy.

Sony hacked for the third time

It is not some small thing that the financial data of 100,000,000 people were criminally swiped with a portion of it offered for sale on underground hacker websites. Then there's the distress factor, regarding millions of customers panicking and calling banks in a flurry over their stolen data.

Sony's Stringer Talks PlayStation Security, Anonymous

May 17, 2011 03:51pm EST - Sony chief Sir Howard Stringer on Tuesday described the disastrous PlayStation Network outage as a "hiccup," and said that no network is 100 percent secure.

In a series of interviews with Bloomberg, the Financial Times, and the Wall Street Journal, Stringer said the company is no closer to finding the culprit. Sony is now focused on the security challenges ahead; namely, staying one step ahead of cyber criminals. "Nobody's system is 100 percent secure," Stringer told Bloomberg.

Yet another wrinkle developed in the seemingly unending PlayStation Network saga on Wednesday, as Sony took down part of its network again due to a newfound exploit.

The security hole, which was first discovered by gaming blog Nyleveia and successfully exploited by Eurogamer, allows an attacker to reset a user's password and gain access to his or her account with an e-mail address and a birthday associated with the user's profile.

10 Million Sony PSN Credit Card Info Stolen, 2.2 Million Offered For Sale

The unprecedented Sony hack that will reportedly cost the company $24 billion dollars, has taken a new twist. It is being reported 10,000,000 unencrypted credit card numbers have been stolen from the Sony servers in San Diego, California and 2,200,000 of them have been offered for sale by hackers.

Howard Stringer

As someone who has been the victim of identity theft in an unrelated incident, I feel sorry for the people whose financial data has been compromised. In response to cries from PSN users for a Sony boycott, company executives apologized yesterday. However, based on online feedback, I don’t think it will help, as PSN users are defecting to Microsoft.

Sony Badly Hit By $24 Billion Dollar Hack


Sony PlayStation

Sony, who are some of the worst thieves in entertainment, have been hit by a massive data breach, via an unprecedented hack, allegedly executed by the hacker collective, Anonymous against the embattled company. They have been targeting the company over suing hacker George Holtz, who modified Sony PlayStation software.

Experts estimate the security breach will cost Sony $24 billion dollars. The personal and financial data of 77 million PSN (Play Station Network) users was swiped and there is already evidence the information is being illegally used. PlayStation customers are furious with Sony, feeling betrayed by their negligence in the matter and attempted cover-up, which cost consumers valuable time.

Sony CEO Howard "Satan" Stringer

Customers harmed by the incident are threatening a widespread boycott of Sony, who have called the FBI for assistance regarding the hack. This is ironic, as Anonymous is far more computer savvy than the FBI, who just got their first email addresses a few years ago. That's not saying they can't catch them, but Anonymous has greater knowledge of computers than the FBI.

U.S. Senator, Richard Blumenthal, denounced Sony's negligence, demanding they pay for credit monitoring for all 77 million customers affected by the security breach, as credit card numbers were taken in the electronic haul. Credit card companies shall be hit with $300 million in costs, via trying to repair the damage created by Sony's security problems in this monster hack. Something tells me they're not going to want to absorb those costs.

Miley Cyrus Hacker Arrested

Miley Cyrus

Josh Holly, the braggadocios 21-year-old man, who kept hacking into the internet account of 18-year-old "Hannah Montana" star Miley Cyrus, when she was 15-years-old, has been arrested by the FBI. It took the inefficient, lackadaisical, taxpayer money squandering FBI two years to move in on Holly, after he hacked into the accounts of a minor and released photos that qualify as child porn.

Holly went so far as to contact websites and a radio station using his real name and bragging about the perverse crimes he had committed and the agency sat on its backside and let the madness continue for two years. Never mind, during said two years, they had time to act as movie consultants and publish press releases about awards they give out, patting themselves on the back for their so-called efforts, all in bids at getting their names in the paper.

What's odd and pathetic is they have not charged Holly for his criminal conduct in the Cyrus case. Holly has been arrested for possessing multiple credit card numbers that do not belong to him, with the intent to defraud. In short, identity theft. One has to question the competence and intelligence of an agency that can't build a case against a hacker that criminally violated the rights of a minor and released what is a form of child porn to the internet.

FBI Faulted For Failures On Identity Theft

FBI Director Robert S. Mueller (Photo credit: Stephanie Woodrow)

U.S. Inspector General for the Department of Justice, Glenn Fine, has taken his subordinates to task at The FBI, for failing to properly tackle the identity theft problem in America. He wrote the agency had not implemented any of his suggestions on correcting their shortcomings in the investigative aspect of identify theft.

Inspector General Report Faults DOJ Identity Theft Efforts

March 30, 2010 - The U.S. Department of Justice is falling short in its efforts to combat identity theft, according to a report released on Tuesday by the department's Office of the Inspector General. The report said the department isn't complying with many of the recommendations of then-President George W. Bush’s identity theft task force.

The report found that DOJ had not even assigned an official to oversee the implementing of those recommendations, released in April 2007, and that it lacked a clear overall strategy.

"This lack of a coordinator responsible for the DOJ's identity theft efforts has led to an uncoordinated, and sometimes nonexistent, approach by DOJ components to address identity theft," the report stated...

Man Posed As Female Model Online

Bree Condon

Once again, people should be careful who they talk to online. Men were signing up on a dating site, pursuing a profile they believed to be of pretty model, Bree Condon.

These men thought they were in a serious relationship with her online, having romantic telephone and internet conversations, among other things. They even gave her money. It turns out, it was a dude that had stolen her identity (LOL).

Man masquerading as fashion model bilks wealthy men

The police sought a person who claimed to be Bree Condon and who had bilked thousands out of men in an online scam. They were surprised to meet Justin Brown. A man is accused of posing online as Bree Condon, seen here in a Guess ad, to bilk men.

February 10, 2006) - January 19, 2010 - For would-be sugar daddies perusing SeekingMillionaire .com -- "the meeting place for wealthy and beautiful singles" -- there was much to like about profile #160127. "Bree" identified herself as a 23-year-old model from Newport Beach, and the accompanying photos showed an emerald-eyed beauty with a mane of silky brown hair and a wraparound smile that seemed both sexy and sweet.

"Just looking for Mr. Right," her brief self-description read. If the pictures -- one in a backless dress at a party, another in a clingy halter top -- seemed somehow familiar, a quick Internet search offered an explanation: Bree Condon, 23, of Newport Beach was a successful model and aspiring actress who'd done a Guess jeans campaign and posed for Maxim magazine's swimsuit issue.

The profile beckoned on the site for nearly two years, and some who responded soon believed they had embarked on a romantic relationship with Condon. There were no face-to-face dates, but there were intimate phone conversations, nude photos and the enticing possibility of a future with a gorgeous cover girl...
