ShareThis'The hackers ought to be shot then hanged upside down in public' - Stratfor client--Stratfor.com and SpecialForces.com hacklog + others 06 Jan 2012 ANTISEC DISMANTLES STRATFOR, A MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR INTELLIGENCE CORPORATION --Shortly after news articles came out about Stratfor's destruction and their customers started to realize how hard they've been owned, hundreds of angry customers rushed to Facebook to rage. Many were rightfully mortified how a self-described intelligence [sic] corporation could fail so hard to protect their customer information. The second irony is when those customers who had some harsh words against Anonymous themselves found out the hard way how maybe it was a bad idea to post using their real names...

Israel treating hackers like terrorists

January 8, 2012 by legitgov

ShareThisIsrael treating hackers like terrorists 08 Jan 2012 The message from Deputy Foreign Minister Dany Ayalon came after a self-defined "Saudi hacker" from a cabal known as "group-xp" published details of more than 6,000 Israeli credit cards online that "The US has announced that any attack on its cybernetic space would be considered a declaration of war and that it would go as far as firing missiles to respond to such an attack. This is a good criterion for us all". Israel said that it will respond to cyber-attacks in the same way it responds to violent terrorist acts, by striking back with force against hackers who threaten the Jewish state.

Anonymous' Stratfor hack outs intelligence officials across the world

Anonymous' Stratfor hack out intelligence officials across the world

[/url]
The hackers responsible for a Christmas Eve attack on consulting firm Stratfor released more information over the weekend, this time divulging email addresses, log-ins and passwords for thousands of affiliated parties.

Among those affected by the dump of data include hundreds of officials within both the US and UK intelligence communities, as well as the American armed forces. Roughly 19,000 email addresses ending in the domain extension .mil for the US military were published in the leak. John Bumgarner, a cyber-security expert at the US Cyber Consequences Unit, mulled over the data for the UK's Guardian and said that info on 173 individuals deployed in Iraq were among those published in the latest posting.

Also targeted in the latest leak are 242 staffers with NATO and two men on the who's who of twentieth-century American politicians: former Vice President Dan Quayle and Henry Kissinger, secretary of state under the Nixon administration.

Stratfor, a Texas-based consulting firm, was victimized by hacktivists believed to be aligned with the online collective Anonymous. On December 24, 2011, initial information on the infiltration was first published to the Web, which has since been punctuated by a sprinkling of other data dumps, including the latest over the weekend. Millions of emails have also been obtained by the group, though the correspondence remains to be revealed to outsiders.

Once made public, however, the rest of the data uncovered in the attack could serve as some serious fodder for lobbying complains against those with ties to Stratfor.

"The Stratfor operation may yield the most revelatory trove of information ever seized by Anonymous," Barrett Brown, an operative close to the hack, tweeted on Christmas Eve. To the Daily Mail, Brown added that the emails could "provide the smoking gun for a number of crimes of extraordinary importance."
