Anonymous Attacks on U.S. Department of Justice

Image
  In what was billed as "Monday Mail Mayhem," the hacktivist group Anonymous released a 1.7-GB archive that it's characterizing as "data that used to belong to the United States Bureau of Justice, until now." "Within the booty you may find lots of shiny things such as internal emails, and the entire database dump," according to a statement released by the group. "We Lulzed as they took the website down after being owned, clearly showing they were scared of what inevitably happened." That statement was included with a BitTorrent file (named 1.7GB_leaked_from_the_Bureau_of_Justice) uploaded Monday to the Pirate Bay by "AnonymousLeaks," although multiple downloaders Tuesday complained that the Torrent download was stuck at the 94%-completion point. Why "dox"--release purloined data from--the  Bureau of Justice Statistics ? "We are releasing data to spread information, to allow the people to be heard, and to know t...

Anonymous attack on Indian Government Continues

Image
Anonymous attack on Indian Government Continues Hacktivist grop Anonymous continued its attacks on the Indian government and creative industries at the weekend by taking out the web sites of the national CERT and the country’s President in retaliation for widespread blocks on video and file sharing sites. The group’s  @opindia_revenge  Twitter account documented the latest attacks, which also appeared to take offline the web site of film company and broadcaster Reliance Big Entertainment, and government portal india.gov.in. All are now back online, having apparently been struck by a DDoS attack on Saturday or Sunday. In a more unusual attack, the group also defaced the web site of an apparently innocent company –  ABC Krishi Equipments  – which makes agricultural machinery, in an apparent warning to the government. “Government wouldn't want this to happen on their website ryt? They shud know we are still watching,” the group  tweeted . The at...

Wikileaks Under Attack

Image
Wikileaks has been under DDoS attack for the last three days The Pirate Bay is down. Wikileaks is down. Visa was down. Are all these Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks a coincidence? Right now it’s not clear, but something is definitely happening. After covering The Pirate Bay Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack and Anonymous’ denial of responsibility for it, I’ve been checking the torrent site’s Facebook Page every so often. The Pirate Bay said it thought it might know who was behind the attack, so I was curious if they would post it today. They haven’t yet, but they did just post this: Wikileaks.org is also under attack. This sure is the year of the storm… As predicted here: https://thepiratebay.se/blog/204 I checked, and indeed  Wikileaks  is down for me. The site’s  Twitter  account sent this message out five hours ago: “WikiLeaks has been under sustained DDOS attacks over the last 72 hours. http://www.wikileaks.org is good, http:...

China blocks all foreign websites

Image
China had already restricted access to many foreign sites including Twitter, Facebook, YouTube citing a need to maintain social stability. China's internet censorship system known as "the  Great Firewall of China " intensified briefly today when all foreign websites  blocked as users were unable to access them.  Observers speculated that the system could be being upgraded to further tighten the regime's control over foreign sites.  Users in  Beijing ,  Shanghai  and elsewhere in China reported that they were unable to access any foreign sites at all, The Daily Mail reports.  China had already restricted access to many foreign sites including  Twitter , Facebook ,  YouTube   citing a need to maintain social stability.  The change in the service came as China faced renewed attack from Western 'hacktivists' for its restrictive  internet policies  and human rights violations.  Hacker group Anonymous ...

PBS Website Hacked by Anonymous

Image
Anonymous hackers claim to have breached the website of the Public Broadcasting Service (pbs.org), leaking large amounts of sensitive information from its databases. “PBS is just another example of mainstream media, feeding lies to the public. Therefore PBS could very well be a target of Anonymous,” the hackers  wrote  on the Anonymous Wiki Twitter account. “Wouldn't attacking PBS be like attacking Fox? Their news sources are unreliable and irrelevant to the population,” they explained. One of the dump files, published on Pastebin, contains around 300 usernames and password hashes that can allegedly be used to access the site’s database. Another post holds close to 200 record sets that represent “stations and password.” It’s uncertain at this time what the passwords access, but the file also contains TV station names, website URLs, email addresses, physical addresses and contact details. A number of 1,600 usernames, clear-text passwords and email addresses that belong to ...

‘Anonymous’ planing to shut down the Internet this Saturday

Image
Notorious hacker group Anonymous has  previously stated its intentions to shutdown the Internet  on Saturday, March 31st, as a form of protest. “To protest SOPA, Wallstreet, our irresponsible leaders and the beloved bankers who are starving the world for their own selfish needs out of sheer sadistic fun, on March 31, anonymous will shut the Internet down,” the group stated last month. “Remember, this is a protest, we are not trying to ‘kill’ the Internet we are only temporarily shutting it down where it hurts the most.”  Operation Global Blackout 2012  looks to shut down the Internet by disabling its core DNS servers, thus making websites inaccessible. Cyber security experts claim that it is unlikely that such an attack would be effective, however, and there is really no need to fear. Read on for more. “The Anonymous hackers can certain cause local pockets of disruption, but these disruptions are going to be localized to networks where their attack machines are loca...
