The hackers that leaked the financial information of FBI Director Robert Mueller, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, Jay-Z, Beyonce, Ashton Kutcher, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Mel Gibson and LAPD Chief Charlie Beck have struck again.
TMZ is reporting that First Lady Michelle Obama's information has now been exposed. Her her social security number, phone numbers, banking and mortgage info and credit card have been posted online.
As we reported yesterday, the hackers set up a website and published the information online. As of this morning the site had over 160,000 page views.
In addition to the names listed above, Britney Spears, Sarah Palin, Hulk Hogan, Donald Trump and Arnold Schwarzenegger's personal data have been added to the website.
The FBI has officially confirmed that they are investigating the case. FBI agent Brad Garrett told ABC News that the site, which originated in Russia, could be an attempt to embarrass the people on the list.
"I'm very suspect [about] information released online. It goes against the very reason you steal them, it's to use them," Garrett said. "Is this a prank? Is this a hoax? Is it to get attention? That wouldn't surprise me one bit."
Despite Garrett's suspicions that the whole thing could be some sort of sick joke, TMZ reports that they have been told by law enforcement officials that the hackers have been using the information they have obtained, although it's not clear if that involves the withdrawal of money or some other form of theft.
"It's just a creepy thing that people do every once in a while, is put police officer's names, their family members names, their addresses on websites," Los Angeles police Cmdr. Andrew Smith said.
Sources tell TMZ that the FBI knew about the hackers before they went public yesterday.
"The investigation did not start yesterday," said the source.
