Forums - Gaming - videogamesplus.ca hacked - account info stolen

I don't see a thread and probably plenty of people use them here

Popular import retailer VideoGamesPlus.ca has reportedly been hacked, resulting in 21,000 of its customers' details being posted online.

Hacker xdev@b4lc4nh4ck posted a link to what it said was stolen personal information from the Canadian retailer on Pastebin.

It said that a .rar file posted on RapidShare (since removed) included names, dates of birth, email addresses, phone numbers and encrypted passwords. Eurogamer readers have been in touch claiming to have found their details among those inside.

"videogamesplus.ca has pwned by xdev @ b4lc4nh4ck," the hacker announced via his Twitter account. "greetz to Don @ b4lc4nh4ck more informations will be posted on pastebin."

VideoGamesPlus.ca has yet to comment on the hack or publicly acknowledge the breach to customers.

We've contacted the Canadian retailer for more information and will update when we hear back. At the very least though, we'd advise anyone who uses VGP to login and change their password.

I really don't understand the logic of hacking into a site then posting all the details on a share website...

Did they do something to offend this guy or is it for the giggles?
