London, April 9 (ANI): Sir Paul McCartney's website was hacked by some unidentified internet crooks last weekend.

The website was hit by a virus, enabling thieves potentially to steal the bank details of fans who have bought products.

The attack took place while the former 'Beatle' was performing on stage in New York with former bandmate Ringo Starr.

Though the website was quickly fixed, it remains unclear whether or not any members' information was stolen. (ANI)
