Unidentified hackers have breached the Xbox 360 and PSP ISO forums, exposing the account details of more than 2.5 million gamers. Security expert Troy Hunt said the forums were targeted in September 2015, with email addresses, account passwords and IP addresses being accessed. Users have been advised to change all passwords. The forum was also compromised by a group calling itself “CyberCaliphate,” which has claimed responsibility for several high-profile cyber attacks on Sony Pictures Entertainment over recent years.
