After claiming Verizon attack, hacker and the spoils disappear

A hacker that goes by the name of TibitXimer claimed to have hacked Verizon's systems and stolen information for over three million Verizon Wireless customers months ago. Two days ago the hacker decided to publish the customer data, saying Verizon didn't respond to a bug report.

Hours after boasting about the theft of the 3 million records from Verizon Wireless, the hacker claiming responsibility for the attack and the data posted to Pastebin have disappeared from the Web.

Verizon Wireless is denying that the file that was posted to the Internet contained information from its customers.

"We reported this incident to the authorities when we first learned of it months ago and an investigation was launched. Many of the details surrounding this incident are incorrect and exaggerated. No Verizon systems were breached, no root access was gained, and this incident impacted a fraction of the number of individuals being reported," said Verizon in a statement to ZDNet, the initial source of the "inaccurate" news about the hack, as Verizon describes.
