Hackers have published what are alleged to be the personal financial records

for several politicians and celebrities, including US Vice President Joe

Biden, Attorney General Eric Holder and musicians Jay-Z and Beyoncé.

 

Gossip website TMZ reported on Monday that hackers have leaked sensitive

information pertaining to a list of prominent Americans, including

celebrities Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, Mel Gibson and Ashton Kutcher, as

well as public figures Joe Biden, Robert Mueller, Hillary Clinton, Eric

Holder and LAPD Chief Charlie Beck, but elected to not share the information

with their audience.

 

“A website -- we're not disclosing the name -- has posted social security

numbers, mortgage amounts, credit card info, car loans, banking and other

info of major celebs,” the website wrote.

 

RT has learned that the website is Exposed.Su.

 

The documents, contained on a page titled ‘The Secret Files,’ were made

known to RT on Monday afternoon. The page contains simply a link to the

figures allegedly hacked, an image of a girl holding her forefinger up to

her mouth and a quote from the television program Dexter: "If you believe

that God makes miracles, you have to wonder if Satan has a few up his

sleeve.”

 

Among the specific details included in the data dump are the Social Security

numbers and alleged home addresses and contact information for most of the

figures profiled, as well as credit reports and other financial figures for

a select bunch.

 

For former first lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, hackers have

released only her Social Security Number and places of residence. For other

targets, though, the information leaked allows for much more of a glimpse

into their finances.

 

According to the documents hosted on Exposed.Su, Hollywood actor Ashton

Kutcher was spending $981 each month for a car he leased from Chase Auto

Finance in 2004. Rapper Jay-Z, real name Sean Carter, has been reported to a

collections agency on at least one occasion. As of this month, he also has a

HSBC bank account with a balance of $816,882 — and a credit line of over

five-and-a-half million. The page for his wife, performer Beyoncé Giselle

Knowles-Carter, includes the singer’s SSN, a list of homes and a handful of

phone numbers, as well as bank transaction information.

 

RT called one of those numbers listed as Beyoncé to confirm authenticity,

but was transferred to two separate operators that claimed that they’ve been

receiving a number of calls. That number was discovered as registered to

Gelfand, Rennert & Feldman, "a leading full-service business management firm

for entertainers, executives and select high net worth individuals."

for determining whether the use of a work in any particular case qualifies

as a "fair use". A work used does not necessarily have to satisfy all four

criteria to qualify as an instance of "fair use". Rather, "fair use" is

determined by the overall extent to which the cited work does or does not

substantially satisfy the criteria in their totality. If you wish to use
