LulzSec Splinter Cell Breaches Credit Rating Agencies

A hacker collective that goes by the name of WallRoad, claiming to be a splinter cell of LulzSec and AntiSec that agrees with Anonymous operations, breached the security measures implemented by some Credit Rating Agencies, leaking tons of customer information online.

“WallRoad has focused their attention to Credit Rating Agencies and their financial hyprocrisy that ruins normal people's lives. You, the Credit Rating Agencies , have a lot to learn about living without any repproaches, obviously... We hope others will make good use of your login accounts everywhere,” the hackers wrote in a statement.

A number of 20 agencies were “hacked and downgraded,” including Dagong Global, Fitch Ratings China, Shanghai Far East, India Credit Agency, Equilibrium Poland, Humphreys Chile, Augusto&Co, CARE Uruguay and Capital Intelligence.

Site domains, database types, table names and their content which included usernames and in many cases clear-text passwords were leaked online.
