Hackers break into BART police union Web site

Anonymous does it again.
And the feds are being sicked on em.
Good luck guys.


CNET

Hackers have broken into a second Web site affiliated with the San Francisco Bay Area subway system, which has come under fire in the last week for turning off cell phone service during a protest.

A database belonging to the BART Police Officers Association was posted online today, complete with full names, e-mail addresses, home addresses, and passwords. BART stands for Bay Area Rapid Transit.

It was not immediately clear who was responsible for the embarrassing information leak--a Twitter account affiliated with Anonymous said that no one has "claimed responsibility for the hack," and speculated that it could be the work of either an ally or an adversary.

As of this afternoon, the BARTpoa.com Web site was offline. "These people are criminals and we're going to forward this information to the FBI," the BART union president, Jesse Sekhon, told the San Francisco Chronicle today. "These people need to be brought to justice. They can't be terrorizing people."

BART external website hacked by anonymous protesters

Is it starting here now too?
provoking unrest in the streets seems to be an outside the U.S. type thing, but it may be starting here.

Mercurynews.com
An anonymous hacker group's threat to shut down the BART website did not happen at the promised hour Sunday, but the group hacked into an external BART website that has more than 50,000 email subscribers and posted its logo on the home page.

Transit officials said they will close down the MyBart website, which is run by an external vendor, and inform all the members that their names, phone numbers and email addressed may have been compromised.

The transit agency remained on alert and was also working to thwart plans by protesters to disrupt the Monday afternoon commute at the Civic Center station in downtown San Francisco.

"We're making preparations to try to prevent any unsafe conditions on the platform," said BART spokesman Jim Allison. "I'm not going to discuss any specifics, other than to say we're preparing."

In a video manifesto posted Sunday, an international computer hacking group that calls itself Anonymous or AnonyOps instructed Bay Area residents to wear red shirts, masks and bring cameras to a planned protest at 5 p.m. Monday.

Anonymous Crosses Swords with Facebook

"Your medium of communication you all so dearly adore will be destroyed, the hackers warned Facebook on a Youtube video message.

750 Million of you Facebook users need to prepare for your Info to be stolen then sold, Hope you don't have to much of your private info on your page.

That is if this a real threat, that part is kinda unknown;but...



International Business Times

The dark angels of anti-security, hacker collective Anonymous, have set eyes on Facebook for its alleged large-scale security violations and sell-off of private individuals' data to government agencies.

The "hacktivists" said on Tuesday they will do 750 million Facebook users a "a favor" by killing the social networking site. They have set a D-Day, November 5, which in Britain is Guy Fawkes Day. Facebook has not yet responded to the outrageous claims of the hackers whose underground war against government agencies and some of the largest corporations in the world has entered a decisive stage.

Nor has there been any independent confirmation if the message posted on behalf of Anonymous is real or fake, or if it is a collective decision or a fringe comment.

Now the amorphous hacker community has said Facebook deserves to be destroyed. "Your medium of communication you all so dearly adore will be destroyed, the hackers warned Facebook on a Youtube video message.

And to the fellow hackers it said: "If you are a willing hacktivist or a guy who just wants to protect the freedom of information then join the cause and kill facebook for the sake of your own privacy."

16 Suspected 'Anonymous' Hackers Arrested in Nationwide Sweep

Wait for it...

The flood of attacks that will follow.

Sixteen suspected members of "Anonymous" were arrested this morning in states across the country, from California to New York, in a federal raid on the notorious hacking group.

The arrests Tuesday, first reported by FoxNews.com, are part of an ongoing investigation into Anonymous, which has claimed responsibility for numerous cyberattacks against a variety of websites, including Visa and Mastercard.

The Department of Justice, in announcing the arrests and more than 35 search warrants in the case, said the case stemmed from an alleged cybertattack on the website PayPal over its action against controversial group WikiLeaks, one of the inspirations for the hacker group Anonymous.

Fourteen of the arrests were identified in the same indictment out of California, while two separate criminal complaints filed out of courts in Newark, N.J., and Tampa, Fla., name the two other alleged hackers. All are believed to have been involved in carrying out nationwide coordinated distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks on multiple high-profile, billion-dollar companies.

PlayStation data theft hits 70m gamers

What a bitch, now you gotta whatch what you do playing videogames.

Don't know if it has anything to do with this, but Anonymous was supposedly attacking Sony for something semi related to Wikileaks! I don't think they get into Identity theft or Credit card theft but who knows, someone within their ranks maybe?


BBC

Sony has warned users of its PlayStation Network that their personal information, including credit card details, may have been stolen.

The company said that the data might have fallen into the hands of an "unauthorised person" following a hacking attack on its online service.

Access to the network was suspended last Wednesday, but Sony has only now revealed details of what happened.

Users are being warned to look out for attempted telephone and e-mail scams.

WikiLeaks cyberwar?

hackers bring down Swedish government site

Wikileaks doing the Attacks, Not.

Anonymous, yes.

Nice stuff, to bad they are crossing the line by personally attacking individuals by putting out their credit card info.
But hey whatever, we are now forced into an open society.


TheTelegraph

The official site, regeringen.se, was offline for several hours overnight and only a message saying the site could not be reached was visible.

Commercial websites including Visa, MasterCard and PayPal have already been targeted by co-ordinated action on one of the busiest shopping days of the year after the firms said that they would no longer process donations to WikiLeaks.

A group calling itself Anonymous and operating under the banner "Operation Payback" was behind some of the attacks and there were concerns that Twitter could become a target because it removed Anonymous' listing.
