Hackers raid massive database of rich and famous

A hacker group which breached Adobe systems last month appears to have made a huge haul in swiping some 850,000 cleartext records from a limousine service which ferried some of the world’s most rich and famous.

Data including the phone numbers and residence of actors, top executives and politicians were now in the hands of crackers along with a quarter of a million cleartext credit card numbers for their limitless or near-limitless American Express accounts and some damning observations taken by drivers of the well-heeled passengers.
