Sweden has suffered its worst-ever data leak after an anonymous hacker hijacked the Twitter account of a prominent MP and released details of more than 90,000 private email accounts. The hacker struck this week when he disclosed the passwords and email details of several Swedish political journalists. He tweeted them from the account of William Petzäll, a controversial 23-year-old far-right MP.
Petzäll denied having anything to do with the leak. He pointed out that he has been receiving treatment for drug and alcohol addiction at a clinic in Sweden, after resigning last month from the anti-immigrant Sweden Democrats party.
The scandal deepened when it emerged the hacker had also raided the popular Swedish blog portal, Bloggtoppen.se. He appears to have broken in several months ago – making off with more than 90,000 passwords and usernames. These have also now been leaked, making it easy to hack the accounts of well-known politicians, editors and celebrities. The Aftonbladet newspaper also reported that another 57 websites have been compromised, potentially releasing the login details of up to 200,000 people.
The hacker's original identity remains unknown though his online name is: sc3a5j.
