The personal details of a further 8,000 people alleged to have shared music or films illegally have appeared online.

A list of more than 8,000 Sky broadband subscribers and a second of 400 PlusNet users surfaced following a security breach of legal firm ACS:Law.

It comes after a database of more than 5,000 people suspected of downloading adult films emerged on Monday.

The documents appeared online after users of the notorious message board 4chan attacked ACS:Law's site in retaliation for its anti-piracy efforts, as part of what its users called Operation Payback.

im thinkin tho, pranks and attacks like this are fine but if one day they needed stopped, how easy would it be?

How do you stop something that doesn't really exist?

How do you stop what is essentially a network of anonymous nerds who will hack any sh*t on a whim?
