Lulzsec census hack claim was a hoax, says government
The claim that Lulzsec hacking group stole all the 2011 census information was a hoax, the Office of national Statistics has said.
On Tuesday, a post was made online from someone claiming to be in Lulzsec, saying that they had stolen all the data and were going to repost it online. Lulzsec denied that the message had anything to do with it.
Census director Glen Watson said: "I can reassure the public that their census records are secure. We have strict measures in place protecting the nation's census information.
“The claim that hackers got in looks like a hoax and our investigation concluded that there is no sign of any suspicious activity. The alleged hackers have also denied any involvement."
