- tankenmate 16y agoThey got the account details from BSkyB via a lawsuit. The problem is that BSkyB sent the details encrypted, but the problem seems to be that ACS:Law didn't encrypt it when they saved it to disk. Hence break in equals disclosure...
- redthrowaway 16y agoIt wasn't a break-in that released the data. They shut down the website in the face of the DDoS. When they brought it back up, their backup copy allowed unfettered access to their server. No exploits were required. They essentially posted all of this information online of their own accord.

- 16s 16y agoProbably used the law enforcement interface. Build a backdoor for cops and the hackers will target it.
