2012 Miss Universe Pageant - Arrivals

Ever wonder how some of the world’s top celebrities live such elegant lives?

Well, thanks to a hacker, now you can see it for yourself: a mess of Hollywood’s elite and even some huge political names had their private bank accounts hacked into and posted onto the web for all to see, including private data such as addresses, social security numbers and past bank standings.

The list is varied as it comes, but the names are some of the biggest of the big: Britney Spears, FLOTUS Michelle Obama, Donald Trump (above), Beyonce, Jay-Z, Paris Hilton, Ashton Kutcher and many others.

Former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton and Vice President Joe Biden also had information leaked, although most of their financial information was not released.

Both the LAPD and the FBI are currently running an investigation into the people responsible for the heavy security breach, which sources say is also being used, as in money being withdrawn.

[TMZ's] sources would not be specific on how the information has been used, but it could involve access and withdrawal of money.  As we previously reported, the hackers have obtained personal banking information as well as social security numbers and that could be enough to obtain withdrawals of cash.

This has apparently been going on for a while, with the FBI stating that although the story broke yesterday, the investigation into it has been going on for some time.
