This comes less than a week after the same hacking group claimed to have DDoS'd Blizzard's servers.
DerpTrolling has also claimed to have millions more login information for users across PSN, Windows Live, 2K, Comcast, Twitter, CIA, Facebook and EA Origin, that were not released.
"We have 800,000 from 2K and 500,000 credit card data," said a member of DerpTrolling. "In all of our raids we have a total of around 7 million usernames and passwords," he said. "We have around 2 million Comcast accounts, 620,000 Twitter accounts, 1.2 million credentials belonging to the CIA domain, 200,000 Windows Live accounts, 3 million Facebook, 1.7 million EA origins accounts, etc."
The hacking has not been confirmed yet, but it is recommended you change your passwords for any of the places that had login information stolen.
