Belgian hacker called Vendetta, threats to the telephone company Belgacom to spread thousands of customers’ data and passwords, if the company does not cease its policy of use of personal data.

Belgacom Group (Euronext Brussels: BELG) is the belgian benchmark  provider of  the integrated telecommunications services.
 
Backed by its experience as the country’s national operator, and combined with its ability to innovate, the Belgacom Group, through the strong brands of its subsidiaries (Belgacom, Proximus, Telindus and Skynet), provides a full range of solutions and knowledge  to individuals, professionals, businesses or agencies. 

Its  safety was questioned last night, when the Hacker revealed more than thirty names and passwords from this company. It also threatened to keep revealing this private information, unless the company changes its restrictions on use of personal data.

Currently the company is trying to verify if these user names and password, are those of their users, and promises to investigate and sue this person, altough is guilty of a crime or just a joker, because this news affects the image of the company.

Once more, the security of this giant with feet of clay called  new technologies, is questioned.
