A BOSTON man appeared in court today charged with trying to download the code of a soon-to-be released video game at a tech convention.
Justin May, 20, of Delaware, was attending the March PAX East 2010 in Boston where he allegedly used his laptop to hack into an Xbox 360 Test Kit that was demonstrating the game Breach, and downloaded the code, WBZ reported.
Breach, an unreleased game due out this northern summer worth $US6m ($7.1m), was being shown for the first time at the convention by Atomic Games, a subset of Destineer.
"Breach, and our Hydrogen game engine, are the result of millions of dollars of investment and years of hard work," said Peter Tamte, President of Atomic Games. "It would have been very harmful if Breach had been posted on the internet months before its planned release."

InfoSec News: Vigilantes Hack Criminal Carding Forum and Expose Underground Dealings: http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2010/05/carderscc/

A German cybercrime forum was hacked by attackers who have exposed the underground dealings of the criminal denizens. The hackers snagged the database containing what appears to be all the private correspondence of the forum members, and posted it to the web.
The hackers also posted information on the IP addresses forum members used when they signed up for membership, noting that most of the administrators and moderators on the site didn't use a proxy to access it. They also posted usernames, e-mail addresses and some cracked passwords of members, who number 5,000. The data was posted to the RapidShare file-trading site.
Here we go. Some crazy combination of username:password:plain:mail. I hope you guys dont mind if we did not crack all of them. Passwords are stored as sha1($username.$pass). Feel free to bruteforce the rest.
