PayPal Next Hacker Target?

PayPal Inc: PayPal Next Hacker Target?: The hacker group Lulz Security is claiming it released log-in information for 62,000 private internet accounts Thursday, including Facebook, PayPal, dating sites, Xbox Live and Twitter.

The list is mostly American accounts but includes hundreds of Canadians, including a CBC journalist from Prince Edward Island, and employees of all three levels of government, including provincial public servants in Alberta, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island and at least one municipal worker in Whitehorse.

Other countries whose citizens were hacked include the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and Brazil.Envelope yourself in the sickening realization that you secretly love f--king someone's Facebook life beyond repair," says one tweet from LulzSec.

Lulz Security, also known as LulzSec, was also in the news this week after claiming it had attacked the websites of the CIAand the U.S. Senate.
