In a shocking security breach, 14 top US celebrities and political powerbrokers have found their financial dossiers leaked online, complete with their social security details, credit card and other banking information and a money trail that combined, could surpass a country’s annual GDP.
The top names targeted include power couple and music moguls Jay-Z and Beyonce, along with Hollywood actors Ashton Kutcher and Mel Gibson, while celebrity heiresses Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian have also not been spared.
Also included in this vicious web are US Vice President Joe Biden, former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, FBI Director Robert Mueller, US Attorney General Eric Holder and Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) Chief Charlie Beck.
Gossip website 'TMZ' broke the story, updating the list with the names Britney Spears and real estate honcho Donald Trump as victims too.
US law enforcement agencies, the FBI and the LAPD, are currently investigating this breach, which also includes details on mortgage amounts and car loans.
Details of the website that have been released include a confirmation of an internet suffix originally assigned to the former Soviet Union.
No information has been released on how this hacker or the organisation obtained the information, which includes screen grabs of net banking transactions or why these famous faces were targeted, just describing the records as ‘secret files’.
