Great, our names have gone out to the public - bigsharn - 28-09-2010
Turns out that people's details have been "leaked", a lot of people who have been sharing porno movies to be precise. They're blaming hackers for it, naturally.
'The firm behind a leak of the personal details of more than 5,000 broadband customers accused of illegally sharing adult films online could be fined up to £500,000, the Information Commissioner said.
The list, produced by ACS:Law was posted on the internet following an attack on the firm's website. It contained the names and addresses of more than 5,300 Sky broadband customers alleged to be illegally sharing adult films online.
Andrew Crossley, who runs ACS:Law, said: "We were the subject of a criminal attack to our systems. The business has and remains intact and is continuing to trade."'

We get blamed for everything. Sucks.

If someone was working on behalf of a corporation looking to press charges against file sharers then I don't think they fall under the category of "Hacker." More like a dip-shit sellout.

"User sharing porn"
So everyone on the internet then?
