The newest victims of 'doxxing' --a cyber crime-- aren't strangers to unwanted attention, but this just might have crossed a line. Their financial information, including car loans, credit card info and mortgage amounts have been made public on the site 'exposed.su'. And these celebs aren't nobodies-- they are the who's who of Hollywood and the White House.
The LAPD issued a statement saying, "Apparently this is not necessarily a hacking incident." And Huffington Post has called it a 'prankster trend' but when Social Security numbers and credit reports are flying about willy-nilly, it seems pretty serious.
It's a big enough issue that now the FBI has stated they have a started an official investigation into these incidents. This seems to be a growing trend, with more celebs and public figures making headlines for being hacked.
Head to the list and take a look at who had their financial info displayed for all to see.
