According to Hacker News, Pakistan Cyber Army got hold of sensitive data of over 40,000 Acer customers, not through hacking but due to a stupid mistake made by Acer itself.
Website says that Acer, mistakenly, left it’s FTP username / password on a public forum, and then never changed it.
PCA, somehow, got the clue and entered into Acer servers and grabbed a good amount of sensitive data including country wise customer’s names, cell numbers, addresses and more.
Pakistan Cyber Army hasn’t confirmed so far if
it actually hacked into Acer servers or it had obtained the ftp username / password from the internet.
