Griefheart Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 According to a document posted to Pastebin, hacking group LulzSec has claimed that it has been able to steal what could amount to millions of records from the UK 2011 Census, with a public release coming soon. The information captured is likely to include income levels, employment information, statements on religion as well as names and addresses. Update: The Office of National Statistics confirms it is investigating the claims but says there is no evidence of a security breach: "We are aware of the suggestion that census data has been accessed. We are working with our security advisers and contractors to establish whether there is any substance to this. The 2011 Census places the highest priority on maintaining the security of personal data. At this stage we have noevidence to suggest that any such compromise has occurred." Source Not sure if this is the whole census thats been stolen or just the opt-in section of it, either way, as hinted at I'm sure we'll have lots of nigerian 419's aimed at the gullible. Might be a good time to advertise this website, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
