| Subject: Hacker claims to have grabbed thousands of law enforcement and military passports. Mon Mar 03, 2014 4:14 am | |
| The website for EC-Council, an “International Council of E-Commerce Consultants,” was defaced on Sunday evening. The hacker, who went by Eugene Belford (named for the “thieving evil computer genius” from the movie Hackers) also claimed to have found “thousands of passports belonging to LE [Law Enforcement] (and .mil) officials” in the process of breaking into the site.
Eugene Belford wrote on the EC-Council homepage, “Defaced again? Yep, good job reusing your passwords morons jack67834#”. With respect to the claim that passport and other information was stolen, the hacker posted a photo of Edward Snowden's passport, along with an e-mail from him to the council from 2010.
