Sensitive financial information that is believed to be linked to more than a dozen of Hollywood celebrities and politicians was published by cyber criminals on website believed to have originated in Russia.

Michelle Obama is now the latest victim of the hacking attack. Among the personal data allegedly posted on the website includes the first lady’s phone numbers, social security number, banking and mortgage info and credit card details.

 

The hackers, however, seem to have a soft spot for Michelle as they wrote on their website; “Blame your husband, we still love you, Michelle”.

Other victims include Sarah Palin, Mel Gibson, Beyonce, Britney Spears, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Donald Trump. Politicians like Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton were also victimized.

The website, exposed.su, which was viewed by more than 200,000 people last night, is linked to a Twitter account, which was used to post this message: "Hello world, we are exposed. Our goal is to show you all that this is only one of a few tricks up our sleeve."

Both the US secret service and FBI confirmed that they are investigating on the matter.
