Lulzsec claim they're done (probably feeling the heat and finally decided to bail) but left posting a lot of stuff they'd hacked. One of the biggest things in the list was a list of people who'd played the Battlefield Heroes Beta, which were tied to EA accounts I believe.

The file contains everyone's usernames and an unsalted MD5 hash. If your EA account was/is using a relatively simple password, its basicallly sitting there on the internet now for everyone to read with an online rainbow table. If you were using a more complex password then your password is just waiting for someone to bruteforce it first.

I have the file, if you're unsure, tell me your username and I'll check if you're on the list.

Note: I was on the list. The hash doesn't seem to be on any online rainbow tables though, but my hash was still in the file therefore I went and changed my EA account passwords. I'd encourage you to do the same if you ever tried Battlefield Heroes.

Thepiratebay just deleted the lulzsec torrent "50 days of lulz" , reason theres some virus in it. Thepiratebay does not allow files that are mislabeled, or contain virus/trojan's, or child pornography. Being as how this torrent was extremely popular, it may have infected 100's of thousands of people already. Lulzsec's account on thepiratebay was not banned so they are cleared to upload the same torrent again without the alleged "trojan".


Ket can you upload the file with EA accounts somewhere so I can take a look? I have a few accounts for a few different games that I wanna make sure isn't on the list.

Tried grabbing the torrent to check for myself but its been removed.

Edit: Nvm I found the torrent on another site.
