1000s of users data stolen in Fine Gael site hack!

The Data Protection Commissioner is investigating the attack on the Fine Gael website. An Evening Herald journalist claimed he was sent data of 2,000 users of the site after the hack occurred. Fine Gael recently revamped its site, letting the public post comments and register their mobile numbers and email addresses in order to receive information on the political party’s upcoming election campaign. However, the site was taken offline and replaced by an image representing Anonymous, with content reading: “”Nothing is safe, you put your faith in this political party and they take no measures to protect you”
