HaveIBeenPwned, a website that allows internet users to check if their personal data has been compromised by data breaches revealed that 1.3 million users from PSP ISO and 1.2 million Xbox 360 ISO users got their accounts compromised.

Around 2.5 million Xbox and Playstation account holders are in trouble since after a year of getting their personal and account details stolen from the forum, now their data has been leaked online by hackers.
