Hacker posts personal details of 6m Chileans


A hacker with a point to prove posted personal details on 6m Chileans on the internet after lifting the information from government websites.

The unidentified hacker posted data including names, telephone numbers, addresses and educational details on two websites (IT site FayerWayer and community site ElAntro) after stealing the data from sites run by the state-owned telco, an electoral agency and the Education Ministry. The sensitive data was available for around two hours over the weekend before the authorities stepped in, El Mercurio reports.
