Last month, famous hacker group Anonymous exposed material from a number of government servers within its AntiSec movement. Now the group seems to keep going that way, uploading a torrent on The Pirate Bay, which exposes a number of organizations, including Viacom and Universal Music. please log in to view this image Anonymous announced their first official AntiSecurity release, which includes various Zimbabwean and Brazilian government dumps and passwords, Mosman Municipal Council dump, as well as Universal Music Group Partners dump containing user passwords and other information, and Viacom dump with internal mapping of its servers. The industry observers point out that it has been just a week since the LulzBoat lowered the LulzSec flag, changing it for the AntiSecurity colors. Since today, the movement in question seems to be organized by many independent but allied hacker groups. Despite the fact that it was a very short period of time, the fellow hacktivists managed to capture copious amounts of booty, everything in the name of the AntiSecurity movement. So, even though the LulzBoat is still sailing with the movement, regardless of with the LulzSec flag or not, the objective of the campaign is a bit different. Although the movement is still driven by LulzSec and therefore also providing them, its mission has long ago become larger than it initially was. Today the movement is much more than LulzSec or Anonymous â the other hacker groups believe that AntiSecurity really has the capability to change the entire world. And even if it wonât, they will at least try to rock the world. Thatâs why the introductory release of the first AntiSecurity dump doesnât feature the type of information that a common Lulz Lizard can simply abuse mindlessly. Instead, the hackers now provide content that is mostly against corrupt governments (i.e. all governments) and corrupt corporations. The public was warned to keep in mind that AntiSecurity has quite a cache of valuable content and the members are currently working hard to sort it out. The members of the movement also promised the Internet users that they will appear in the news soon enough. The torrent file containing the first dump is almost 380MB. Undoubtedly, the affected corporations will be unhappy they were the latest to be hacked.
That 19 year old kid from Essex was a member of this group, the one that took down the CIA's website!
They only took down the public CIA site. They did not get into the internal staff CIA site where all the important information is.
haha, he just hosted an irc chat channel for them he had nothing to do with the actually website hacking. Also Anon can go and ****ing suck a cock
Why is that exactly? Good on them, keep it up lads. Wikileaks and Anonymous appear to be the last bastions of accountability it would seem.
There could well be a day you are thankful or you could end up ruing the fact there weren't enough people partaking in standing up for other people's rights bullshit something along the lines of this " First they came for the communists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me."
Any particular reason? I have nothing to judge him on on a personal level but I admire his work in making firms and governmental organisations fear accountability from somewhere even if they escape accountability from the institutions in place to ensure it. The American military being a prime example.
Some of the information he has leaked does not help us in any way and in fact some of the material leaked has put people's lives in danger and a severe strain on some countries' relationships. It was not in anyone's interest to know that the USA does not trust Pakistan.
This, also what about the rest? The cover up that 2 Reuters photographers were actually militia with RPGs when taken down in a firefight when they were actually cowardly taken down by an Apache crew along with the surrounding crowd and the ambulance personnel who came to pick them up.
Really? It seems to me Anon are just a bunch of ****ers that like hacking. For every 'good' thing they do, they do an equally ****ty thing. And because they're all anonymous, for every one person that actually wants to do good you'd probably get 2 or 3 that just like causing people harm, whoever the target.
So the means justify the ends? As long as he leaks some good dirt then some dirt that may cause others harm is acceptable? I'm sure you don't think that way at all but it is exactly what Assaunge and his pals think. They have shown no concern whatsover for others, even the innocent.
Surely holding these institutions to account for their abuses is saving innocent lives. I really find it hard to comprehend how apathetic some people are of the fact that a supposed beacon of freedom and truth in the world has been shown to be completely lying all along and responsible for gross human rights abuses, yet they find reason to dislike the people who expose it. Some truths hurt, yes get over it. But I find that much more easy to stomach than the lie.
The america pakistan thing is a weird one A few months a go the guardian (via wikkileaks) printed a story where the pakistani government had said to th eamericans 2 things 1 - do th edrone attacks, we will pretend to be outraged, you carry on 2 - if binladin is in pakistan, come in, take him out, we will see it as an insult, make some noise.... That is exactly what happened. Truth is these hackers etc sometimes bring the truth to the surface. That is why they are seen as a risk, not because 'it saves lives'. I dont think the politicians give a **** about lives. unless they are their own what happened to assange?
