It was the CIA’s PUBLIC website, which has about as much security as the local hardware store’s site. The CIA has other systems they use for their internal business.
I’m aware.
Copy and pasted from another website:
PBS
In May they hacked the US Corporation for Public Broadcasting creating fake articles saying that Tupac and Biggie Smalls were alive and well in New Zealand.
Fox.com
They claimed responsibility for leaking information including passwords and altering several Fox.com employees’ LinkedIn profiles. Then they leaked a database of X Factor contestants containing contact information of 73,000 contestants.
Sony
In June they hacked Sony Pictures and some Sony BMG Music website servers (not PSN okay? that was other guys) and called it the beginning of the end for Sony. They leaked names, passwords, e-mail addresses, home addresses and dates of birth for many people. They say it was about a million while Sony says it was only a few dozen thousand. The batch of databases are on the site so someone could count them if they wanted to...
InfraGard
They hacked up the website of a company that does Botnet detection for the FBI. Leaked some emails too. “LET IT FLOW YOU STUPID FBI BATTLESHIPS”
Nintendo
They tried and failed to hack Nintendo. They tweeted that they stopped and like the N64.
Black & Berg Cybersecurity Consulting
An internet Security company puts up a “hack this website, win a ton of money” contest. They hack it and say “DONE, THAT WAS EASY. KEEP THE MONEY, WE DO IT FOR THE LULZ.” Black & Berg responds, “Black & Berg Cybersecurity Consulting appreciate all the hard work that you’re putting in. Your Hacking = Clients for us. Thx.” It’s pretty obvious they didn’t take the money because it could be traceable.
British National Health Service
They sent them a nice email identifying a security vulnerability and telling them to fix it. Maybe they’re not such bad dudes?
pron.com
This time I’m just copy+pasting from Wikipedia. They obtained around 26,000 e-mail addresses and passwords. Among the information stolen are records of six users who subscribed from .gov and .mil e-mail addresses as well as administrator information from 55 other adult-oriented websites. Following the breach, Facebook locked the accounts of all users who had used the published e-mail addresses, and also blocked new Facebook accounts opened using the leaked e-mail addresses. They feared that users of the site would get hacked after Lulzsec encouraged people to try and see if these people used identical user name and password combinations on Facebook as well.
Bethesda Studio
They compromised about 200,000 but didn’t publish all the data this time. “Bethesda, we broke into your site over two months ago. We’ve had all of your Brink users for weeks, Please fix your junk, thanks!”
United States Senate
This time e-mails and passwords from a bunch of people on senate.gov. They leaked these and the root directory of parts of the website, yikes! “This is a small, just-for-kicks release of some internal data from Senate.gov. Is this an act of war, gentlemen?”
Some Game Websites
On June 14th, “Titanic Take-down Tuesday,” Lulzsec took down four gaming websites! They set up a hotline so people can call in DDOS requests. While DDOSing isn’t their usual style, setting up a phone switchboard shows some real technical finesse. Minecraft, League of Legends, and Eve Online had their login systems, and therefore their websites, shut down. The Escapist’s website was also taken down.
Fin Fisher
Fin Fisher, some IT security company, was part of Titanic Take-down Tuesday.
S2 Games
By phone request they took down the Heroes of Newerth login server. “Heroes of Newerth master login server is down. They need some treatment. Also, DotA is better.”
US CIA
They DDOSed cia.gov. That’s a dangerous game you’re playing, LulzSec.
Bioware
18,000 user account names and passwords, email addresses, and birth dates
