Lizard Squad
What Happened
In January 2015, the hacker collective known as "Lizard Squad" created a DDoS service by the name of "Lizard Stresser" which could be procured to mount attacks against online targets. Shortly thereafter, the service suffered a data breach which resulted in the public disclosure of over 13k user accounts including passwords stored in plain text.
