Antisec targets US security firm
Activist hacker group Antisec says it has stolen thousands of emails, passwords and credit card details from Stratfor, a US-based security firm. They say the information was easily taken because the company, whose clients include the US defence department, did not encrypt it. The group also claim that they used credit card details of big businesses to post donations to various charities but individuals are complaining of being targeted as well. Al Jazeera’s Alan Fisher reports from Washington.

where is the terror, as far as I can see Anonymous has never harmed anyone, so where is the terror is terrorist. Oh? yeah its anyone who the government says, weather they use terror or not.
Goldman Sachs should be the target?
Anonymous denied involvement in? this.
~• I KNEW THERE WAS A REAL SANTA •~
A? N 0 N S: F U C K Them 1% HOES
@Astrosurfer333 You are really? fucking retarded lol.
@hdzsound
%-D,? say no to drugs mate!!
@RealToddles Like I really care what you think? about me. har har.
Another example of how Anonymous is nothing but a collective of chan freak script kiddies; with a few skilled or very lucky hackers. These days client-side? attacks are endemic on even the most “professional” or “official” sites/servers.
I love how utterly delusional these comments here are. You think Anon is? the NWO? Wow. Really.
people are retarded anon? is activist group against the 1%
You think this guy is Innocent? If he’s so poor why did Stratfor have his credit card info in the first place. Com’on? people think.
@surfboardhacker Yes. If people followed 4chan particularly the /b/ forum,? for a few seconds they’d realise just how embarrassing anonymous as a group really is. Kids posting memes on an image board and select minority that have some hacking skills.
Fuck anon and? their left wing agenda. Get some pussy, o wait u cant. Dumb pieces of shit. Why dont all the “anons” donate their own money.
You all fuel the fire by just speaking about them but truth is, these billions and billion dollar companies are super cheap on security and hire big? Corp to test for vulnerability’s but truth is, can’t stop 0 Day hacks but if they’d hire people like me who are in the community for prevention, we hire nobody’s as they wish to remain that way for good reasons and this could have been stopped.
ANONYMOUS IS THE CIA !!!
Dont listen to them, everything they have done with OWS has been to missguide you away from? the real criminals/problems of our society!
How do they make sure that this is really anonomous? Could be someone else? who was out for profit, but defaced anonymous at the same time.
@chugalongway i? imagine they would get butt stomped if they tried.
How many fkn times do i have to say this…
STRATFOR is not a security firm, there an open source? intelligence company.
@lSeKToRl They were, now there just as? corrupt as the 1%.
It’d be nice? to know why Stratfor was targeted.
@pgunn01 /watch?v=ypL1mcDXivM Click on? the first link in the description box then follow the yellow brick road to read the Pastebin
Stratfor is a? private company doing intelligence analysis, so this is pretty damn ironic. They know we are knee deep in cyberwar; yet couldn’t lock themselves down.
@MultiWingnut Anonymous is an entity with no? real identity. It is whoever calls himself that way. For that reason it could be said that Anonymous is everyone, or at least the radicals who need to organize themselves… I wonder if that’s the reason why Anonymous always sound inclined to the left… ._.
@bloodswetandgears Just remember that, the next time you use your credit card over the net, or tell a company you want? to access any of your accounts or bills over the net.
The net is not ready for prime-time and can easily be hacked by kids.Think SSL is secure? No.
If these hackers? want to make a REAL difference then they’d hack into poor people’s accounts and erase their debts permanently for them.
