Newsbrief: A hacker group that previously hit Steam, Origin and Battle.net with distributed denial-of-service attacks, claims that it has access to usernames, passwords and credit card data for million of accounts on various video game systems.
According to tweets from the group knows as "DERP," and as spotted by Cnet, thousands of usernames and passwords for the PlayStation Network and Windows Live accounts have been leaked -- and the group says it has many more.
In fact, the group says it even has credit card details for hundreds and thousands of users, and around 7 million usernames and passwords, including 1.7 million Origin account details.
It's advisable that, if you have an account with one of these platforms, you may want to change your password.

Update: It is being suggested both in the comments here and elsewhere that the data may be false. Until that is confirmed by one of the services affected it’s best to remain cautious. Hopefully it is false data.
