Infosecurity: Bell Canada announced Sunday that “22,421 user names and passwords and 5 valid credit card numbers of Bell small-business customers were posted on the Internet this weekend.” It claims that it was not directly breached, but that the “posting results from illegal hacking of an Ottawa-based third-party supplier.” But there’s more to the story.
NullCrew, a hacking group that has been relatively quiet for some time (in late 2012 it dumped data stolen from a DoD site, defense.gov, NSA, Mastercard and BB&T) has returned. On 10 January it announced, “We have hidden ourselves for far to long, and it’s time to show these fucktards that we’re still here.” Five days later, 15 January, it tweeted, “Successful day hacking internet service providers is successful.”
