Occupy's "Anonymous" Hackers Break Into Stratfor

[Walmartian]

The hackers known as “Anonymous,” who helped organize and support the Occupy Wall Street protests this past fall, claim to have stolen emails and credit card numbers from Stratfor, the highly respected U.S. security think tank

I believe it was them and Lulzsec that organized the brooklyn bridge protest.

[Leep]

Is this all covered under free speech or expression?

[Jonty30]

They couldn’t have gotten that many, because I stopped by the other day and took a bunch.

[vbmoneyspender]

Hackers said they were able to get credit card numbers because they weren’t encrypted. It would be interesting to to find out if they got server access or just database access.

“from Stratfor, the highly respected U.S. security think tank”

LOL.

BigGovernment.com is turning into just another tabloid whirlednutzdaily type outfit.

(If you don’t know what I’m talking about, there are hundreds if not thousands of FR threads in the archives where StratFor has predicted 579 of the last 12 regional military conflicts.)

What does Stratfor have to do with Occupy protests?

I got notified via email last night that my account was part of this but I do not have a paid subscription. This is why I NEVER
do online financial transactions..NEVER..

[Walmartian]

I used to get their news letter via e-mail but I cancelled last month. I checked and didn’t find my name.

[placerville]

Lucky you. Now i gotta pworry about what arrives in my email account, if you know what i mean.

PLI is far more concerned about the state of the classified information provided by STRATFOR to the US Government.

STRATFOR maintains separate classified and unclassified networks and information, and PLI understands that none of the STRATFOR data has been spared the attention of the hacking group. Of course, had STRATFOR placed any classified data on the server which we know has been hacked, they’d be in blatant violation of the laws of the US and of common sense, but it’s against the law why? Because it’s happened before.

If classified data has been compromised in the hack, it will create a larger impact – and response – than if it is unclassified commercial intel. Again, it’s supposed to be totally separately stored, and I’ve spoken at length about the misconception by folks who conflate “classified” with “important,” but if there were errors, this could be bad.

[placerville]

I think i will contact the FBI and the calif DOJ on Monday asking themwhat i should do.

[marty60]

Since they are supporters of Paul Guess he’s going to have another money bomb.

[Anti-Bubba182]

Try DEBKA.

[CPT Clay]

Why would these sicko’s bother with this?

Stratfor make the whitehouse nervous?

[TBP]

Prosecute them.

[TBP]

Will they be giving the information toe their bosses/supporters in the Administration?
