biggest titles - Deus Ex - were defaced and plundered on Wednesday in what 
appears to have been an attack from a splinter cell of the hacktivist 
group Anonymous. The hack comes just days after entertainment giant Sony 
told Congress that Anonymous members may have been responsible for 
break-ins that compromised personal information on more than 100 million 
customers of its PlayStation Network and other services.

leaking "src," which may refer to source code for Deus Ex or other Eidos 
games. In a separate conversation, the hackers also say they have stolen 
information on at least 80,000 Deus Ex users and that they plan to release 
the data on file-sharing networks.
