Hackers Post Michelle Obama's SSN, Phone #s and Credit Report- SS and FBI Investigating

By Susan Duclos

Would have been more interesting if they had posted Barack Obama’s information, including his Social Security number which has been the source for so much controversy among birthers, but one still has to wonder how hackers, supposedly Russian hackers, managed to obtain Michelle Obama’s personal information, including her Social Security number, personal phones numbers and a link to her personal credit report.

The information was posted at exposed.su with a direct link to Michelle Obama’s credit report. The SU stands for Soviet Union, implying that it was Russian hackers that managed to obtain this information.

On the top of the Michelle Obama page is a little note in red which states “Blame your husband, we still love you, Michelle. “

The main page of the site also touts hacked information on Kim Kardashian, Joe Biden, Robert Mueller (FBI Director), Hillary Clinton, Eric Holder (U.S. Attorney General), Charlie Beck (LAPD Chief), Mel Gibson, Ashton Kutcher, Jay Z, Beyonce, Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Sarah Palin, Hulk Hogan,
Donald Trump, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Al Gore, Kanye West, Kris Jenner

Busy hackers.

The AP reports this is being investigated by the FBI and the Secret Service.

[Update] Via Huffington Post:

UPDATE 4:19 p.m. — Equifax, one of the three credit
reporting agencies, said Tuesday that hackers who allegedly posted
sensitive data belonging to 17 celebrities and political figures
obtained some of that information from a website that allows consumers
to access their credit reports.

The hackers entered enough personal identifying information, or PII,
on four of the alleged hacking victims to log-in as them on the site
annualcreditreport.com and obtain their credit reports, which contain
sensitive financial data and Social Security numbers, according to
Timothy Klein, a spokesman for Equifax.

“Our initial investigation shows the perpetrators had the PII of the
individuals whose files were accessed and were therefore able to pass
the required authentication measures in place,” Klein said in a
statement. “We have launched a full investigation into this matter and
we are also working closely with law enforcement authorities on this
matter.”

Klein said hackers needed specific information about each celebritiy
or politician, such as their mother’s maiden name or the last payment
they made on a credit card. He said the hackers had not broken into
Equifax’s computer system.

Clifton O’Neal, a spokesman for TransUnion, another credit reporting
agency, also said hackers had obtained credit reports by impersonating
the victims online.

“The sophisticated perpetrators of these fraudulent activities had
considerable amounts of information about the victims, including Social
Security numbers and other sensitive, personal identifying information
that enabled them to successfully impersonate the victims over the
Internet in order to illegally and fraudulently access their credit
reports,” O’Neal said in a statement. “TransUnion is taking steps to
assist the individuals affected to help minimize any potential impact.
We are conducting our own internal investigation and working closely
with law enforcement.”
