US probes Web release of credit data on Mrs Obama, Beyonce, others


WASHINGTON: President Barack Obama said on Tuesday that US authorities are investigating whether hackers unearthed and posted online financial information that belongs to first lady Michelle Obama and a variety of celebrities like Beyonce and Jay-Z.

"Again, not sure how accurate but ... you've got websites out there that tell people's credit card info. That's how sophisticated they are."
