Hacker splashes data from six million Chileans on Internet: report

Chile's government sites





The personal data included names, street and email addresses, telephone numbers, social and educational background, and was taken from Education Ministry, Electoral Service and state-run telephone companies' websites from late Saturday to early Sunday.




"Its a serious matter and we're investigating," Police Cibercrime Brigade chief Jaime Jara told the newspaper.




The data was displayed for several hours before authorities removed it on the technology information website "FayerWayer" and community website "ElAntro."




The hacker said on the websites he splashed the data "for the whole world to see ... (to) show how unprotected personal data is in Chile ... nobody bothers protecting that information."
