Lulzsec breaches Battlefield Heroes

as you can see it's offline and going by my friend they released 550k usernames and passwords.

All I can see in the future is not good, Governments play off fear, if the people are afraid of being hacked then we can just say bye bye to our free internet.

The amount of hacking going on these past few months is beyond ridiculous.

EA is going to have a field day with the PR in order to fix this up. I'm waiting to see whether Activision is going to take advantage of this or play the safe route like Microsoft did when Sony was hacked.

No they didn't. They closed up shop last night and haven't had anymore releases added to their page. As far as evidence goes you have none. I would like a source other than your friend. 550k would be their biggest haul ever. On top of that, there hasn't been an update about it on their twitter feed.

All I know is that someone took down the site

It's part of their last release posted over night. Along with some AOL data, AT&T internal data, NATO bookshop etc.

Great. Just great. If that's true, then we have far more trouble on our hands. It seems that for every hacking group to disappear, there is another group to replace them and try to replicate the glory. I could see large amounts of hacking groups appearing in the nearby future. Most of them will not be threats, but there is a high chance that several will be good.

-Edit: Why is your second link from 2008?

It's part of their last release posted over night. Along with some AOL data, AT&T internal data, NATO bookshop etc. Oh. And it's 50k, not 500k.

Is that in the torrent? It definitely isn't a separate piece, I know that much.

Apparently I might be wrong. I haven't downloaded the torrent for their last release so it might be in that. I thought it was an entirely new release.

I was under the impression that the passwords from the latest release were encrypted.

A lot depends on method of encryption, if it's just a plain md5 hash and someone used an actual word for password it can be decrypted with dictionary.
Sadly it seems so, that's the case with BFH leak. Not sure how accurate it might be but i actually got a match on a randomly picked hashed string.

That would explain my lack of knowledge for it then, thanks for the information.
