Hackers have published what are alleged to be the personal financial records for several politicians and celebrities, including the U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, Attorney General Eric Holder and musicians Jay-Z and Beyonce.

It was reported on Monday that hackers have leaked sensitive information pertaining to a list of prominent Americans, including celebrities Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, Mel Gibson and Ashton Kutcher, as well as public figures Joe Biden, Robert Mueller, Hillary Clinton, Eric Holder and LAPD Chief Charlie Beck, but elected to not share the information with their audience.

The website was reportedly called Exposed.Su. The site was not able to get a lot on Joe Biden or Hillary Clinton, but most of the others on the list have had their financial info compromised.

The documents, contained on a page titled 'The Secret Files,' were made known to RT on Monday afternoon. The page contains simply a link to the figures allegedly hacked, an image of a girl holding her forefinger up to her mouth and a quote from the television program Dexter: "If you believe that God makes miracles, you have to wonder if Satan has a few up his sleeve."

Among the specific details included in the data dump are the Social Security numbers and alleged home addresses and contact information for most of the figures profiled, as well as credit reports and other financial figures for a select bunch.

For former first lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, hackers have released only her Social Security Number and places of residence. For other targets, though, the information leaked allows for much more of a glimpse into their finances.

According to the documents hosted on Exposed.Su, Hollywood actor Ashton Kutcher was spending $981 each month for a car he leased from Chase Auto Finance in 2004.
