    A Turkish hacker called Maxney has managed to breach and deface a number of six subdomains owned by Acer India. The file containing the leaked user credentials has been removed from RapidShare, but The Hacker News reports that it contained the complete details of 20,000 individuals. Apparently, the attacker targeted the site as a form of protest against Israel. (English)
