The site of London 2012 Rentals and the one of Big Dance 2012 have been breached by a hacked called Sniper (5NiP3R). A total of around 12,500 account details have been leaked, Cyberwarnews.info reports.

From London 2012 Rentals, a website that provides rental offers for those who plan on attending the London 2012 Olympic Games, the hacker stole around 5,000 usernames, emails and clear text passwords and posted them on peoplesliberationfront.net.

Judging by the second data leak, The Big Dance 2012 database contained a number of 7,500 account details, including email addresses, unique IDs and encrypted passwords.

We urge all internauts who have utilized these sites to immediately change all their passwords.

This is not the first time when the Big Dance website is breached. Back in February, a hacker called Chriss10011 of TheAdipiscing crew leaked user details from bigdance2010.com.

We have contacted both London 2012 Rentals and Big Dance 2012 representatives, and we'll update the article as soon as we hear back from them.
