The South African pay-TV provider TopTV's website was hacked on 1 January 2013, the second time TopTV's website was hacked after it also happened exactly a year ago in January 2012.
Now the HighTech Brazil HackTeam - CrazyDuck, Otrasher and L34NDR0 - claim responsibility for having hacked TopTV's website.
"TopTV is in the process of rectifying the security breach on their website," TopTV says in a statement after I made a media enquiry. "The breach occured early on New Year's Day, 1 January."
"The TopTV website does not contain any sensitive subscriber information, such as subscriber details, nor does it have any financial facility for payment of subscriptions, thus there are no subscriber bank details or any possible trace to these on the site."
"Subscriber information is all contained in the separate and secure CRM (Customer Relationship Management) system, which is unrelated in any way to the TopTV website."
"The website is a portal for information regarding TopTV, its channels, pricing and packaging, and the Top Guide, which provides programme schedule information for the channels. This information is freely available to the public."
