A hacker group calling itself DerpTrollinghas published a list of 5,604 usernames and passwords that the group claims belong to active users of PlayStation Network, 2K, and Windows Live gaming services.
The hackers warned that the list is only a part of the database that was allegedly hacked from the systems of the aforementioned networks, therefore all customers from the three services should change their passwords immediately, in order to eliminate any risk of their account being hacked.
The hackers claim to have a huge list of passwords. In a now-deleted Pastebin post, the DerpTrolling group said they managed to obtain credentials for 800,000 2K logins, 200,000 Windows Live accounts, and 1.7 million EA Origins accounts.
In addition to this, the group claimed to have access to information for 3 million Facebook profiles, more than 600,000 Twitter log-ins, approximately 2 million Comcast account details, and 1.2 million credentials belonging to the CIA domain.
In summary, this amounts to a database of approximately seven million usernames and passwords. However, the online community is speculating that this database may be fake.
LastPass reviewed the file, which contains login details for 2,131 PSN users, 1,473 Windows Live user logins, and 2,000 2K Games user logins, and concluded that the data was valid.
The DerpTrolling group has been linked to other incidents in the gaming industry as it claimed responsibility for the DDoS on Blizzard's servers late last week.
The group said it leaked the database to establish its reputation in the outlaw hacking community. To support this, the group claimed contacts with other hacking groups, such as Anonymous, RedHack, and LulzSec, with whom they carried out DDoS attacks against various entities.
The Twitter profile (GabenTheLord) used by the hackers to publicize their activities has been deactivated.
