SwaggSec claim breach of China Telecom, Warner Bros. networks
An Internet hacking group claimed today to have broken into the networks of Warner Bros. and China Telecom, publishing documents and login credentials purportedly stolen in the breaches.
SwaggSec, also known as Swagg Security, announced the hack on its Twitter feed and published a statement on Pastebin, along with links to the purloined files posted to Pirate Bay.
The group leaped to prominence in February when it took credit for a breach of Foxconn network security, resulting in the theft of usernames, passwords, and other private information. (Foxconn -- a Taiwanese hardware manufacturer -- has been the frequent target of criticism over its factory working conditions.) In its message on Pastebin, SwaggSec said obtaining more than 900 admin usernames and passwords during a hack on China Telecom was "as simple as we assumed it would be."
