Anonymous gives you LulzXmas. Hackers target Mexico government websites. DHS warns of planned Anonymous attacks. News September 2, 2011 12:40 PM ET Computerworld - The U.S. Department of Homeland Security today issued a somewhat unusual bulletin warning the security community about the planned activities of hacking collective Anonymous over the next few months. The bulletin, issued by the DHS National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC), warns financial services companies especially to be on the lookout for attempts by Anonymous to "solicit ideologically dissatisfied, sympathetic employees" to their cause.
Anonymous has recently used Twitter to try and persuade dissatisfied employees within the financial sector to give them information and access. The unclassified DHS communique is addressed broadly to those in charge of cybersecurity and critical infrastructure protection and also warns about new tools that Anonymous has said it plans to use in launching future attacks. The first attack, dubbed Occupy Wall Street (OWS) is scheduled for Sept. 17. Press note: How does Defcon differ from your state fair? Congratulations to the Dateline NBC reporter who didn't register as press for Defcon and worked “undercover.” I hope all other technology reporters covering this conference take similar action next time this group meets as a protest of its revolting conference press registration requirement.
The decision by news organizations to play along with Defcon's press registration rules is an embarrassment. I have never attended a Defcon conference. It’s not my beat. But covering conferences is much of what I do and I’m very familiar with press registration requirements. Robert McMillan at IDG summarized the Defcon conference rules: Cameras of any kind are a strict no-no at the show, which bills itself as a gathering for hackers, both legitimate, and not-so-legitimate, and takes special steps to ensure the privacy of its attendees. I have no problem with a rule prohibiting electronics, video recording, because it has been applied, I’m assuming, to all Defcon attendees. Hacker group AntiSec declares ‘war’ on U.S. police. By Agence France-PresseSaturday, August 6, 2011 18:15 EDT A hacker group on Saturday claimed it has “defaced and destroyed” websites at scores of US police agencies in retaliation for the arrest of suspected peers accused of hacking into the CIA, British crime agency SOCA, and Sony.
The group called AntiSec — in reference to “anti-security” — said in an online post that it is backing its claim by releasing information it looted more than 70 local police agencies during cyber attacks. “We are releasing a massive amount of confidential information that is sure to embarrass, discredit and incriminate police officers across the US,” the group said in a message. “We are doing this in solidarity with Topiary and the Anonymous PayPal LOIC defendants as well as all other political prisoners who are facing the gun of the crooked court system.”
Early this week, 18-year-old British man Jack Davis, believed to be a hacker who went by the online name “Topiary” was granted bail in a London court. Researchers: Anonymous and Lulzsec Need to Focus their Chaos | Threat Level. LAS VEGAS — The online vigilante groups Anonymous and LulzSec are weakening their cause with scattershot attacks and need to get more intelligent and focused, according to a panel of computer security experts at the DefCon hacker conference in Las Vegas. “We have an opportunity to not just cause chaos, but to cause organized chaos,” said Josh Corman, director of security intelligence for Akamai, who said the groups are burying their message in noisy denial-of-service and SQL attacks. “I’m suggesting the actions in pursuit of their own goal compromise their goal. There’s a way to render more specific what they want to accomplish.” The loosely affiliated groups have launched controversial denial-of-service attacks on PayPal and MasterCard, after the money services stopped processing donations for WikiLeaks, as well as PBS.com after they took issue with a PBS documentary about alleged WikiLeaks source Bradley Manning.
“That’s something we can all get behind,” Corman said. AntiSec says it has hacked websites of U.S. law enforcement agencies - latimes.com. A group of online hackers says it has gained access to more than 70 law enforcement agency websites in the United States, obtaining emails, credit card information and other sensitive data in retaliation for the arrests of alleged members in the U.S. and England. The group, called AntiSec, said Saturday that it had breached 10 gigabytes of sensitive data from the agencies. AntiSec is composed of members from two separate hacking groups, Anonymous and LulzSec. AntiSec said its cyber-attack affected agencies in Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri and Mississippi.
The group launched similar attacks against law enforcement in Arizona in June. "A week after we defaced and destroyed the websites of over 70 law enforcement agencies, we are releasing a massive amount of confidential information that is sure to embarass, discredit and incriminate police officers across the US," AntiSec said in a statement posted on a file-sharing site where it has previously released stolen material.

Post-Jake Davis Arrest Met Police Address Anonymous Hackers, Supporters Via Twitter. Following the arrest of Anonymous and LulzSec spokesman Jake Davis, aka Topiary, the London Metropolitan Police have issued an open statement via Twitter warning Anonymous hackers and supporters of the criminal charges they could face if caught. Following the arrest of Anonymous and LulzSec spokesman Jake Davis, aka Topiary, the London Metropolitan Police have issued an open statement via Twitter warning Anonymous hackers and supporters of the criminal charges they could face if caught.
The statement was released via TweetDeck earlier today and was reportedly done to remind all Anonymous hackers and supporters of the laws they were breaking. It clarified: "Anyone considering accessing a computer without authority should understand that such acts are unlawful and can carry a term of imprisonment. "Under UK legislation, it is an offence if a person acts from within the UK upon a computer anywhere else in the world. The Met's statement follows Anonymous' previous response to Davis' arrest. 'V for Vendetta' Inspires Anonymous, Creator David Lloyd Responds. As a loose collective of so-called "hackers" labeled Anonymous continues to cause mostly harmless chaos around the Internet, a symbol born from Alan Moore and David Lloyd's graphic novel V for Vendetta has become synonymous with the cause of radical transparency online.
The Guy Fawkes-style mask worn by the character V was first used by Anonymous as way to publicly protest what they saw as the harmful indoctrination of Scientology, but has since evolved to encompass an entire movement that is as seemingly diverse as it is secretive. We decided to dig in to what the movement is trying to accomplish, as well as what creator Alan Moore thinks about the hacktivist group. Targets of the group have reportedly included the Church of Scientology, Bank of America, the Tunisian government, the Columbian secret police, and Sony. The agent in charge of my particular warrant actually asked me if I owned a Guy Fawkes mask. CA: Why was Guy Fawkes an inspiration for the the character V? DL: No. Yes.

UK police arrest suspected teenage hacker. FBI Exposes The Terrifying Face Of "Anonymous" JULY 19--Fourteen suspected members of "Anonymous" are named in an indictment unsealed today charging them with participating in an online attack against PayPal that was prompted by the company’s suspension of Wikileaks’s account.
A federal grand jury charged each of the defendants with conspiracy and intentional damage to a protected computer, felonies that carry a combined maximum of 15 years in prison and a $500,000 fine. The alleged "Anonymous" figures, prosecutors allege, participated in a December 2010 denial of service attack against PayPal. The online assault came after PayPal suspended Wikileaks’s ability to receive donations in the wake of the group’s publication of classified Department of State cables on its site. According to the indictment filed in U.S. District Court in San Jose, California, the coordinated "Anonymous" attack was dubbed “Operation Avenge Assange,” a reference to Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.
For Suspected Hackers, a Sense of Social Protest. Fbi-trojan.pdf (application/pdf Object) Third Target of FBI Anonymous Probe Steps Forward to Announce Innocence. We’ve been documenting the people that were targeted in the cross country raids on alleged Anonymous members. So far, it seems that every day we are hearing from those who were affected coming forward to state their case that they had no part in Anonymous hacking. Today, we found another person stating their innocence. In the major sweep of hackers, the score might now be Anonymous: 3, FBI: 0. Still, as time goes on, we are getting a clearer and clearer picture of the kind of people that were arrested or raided. On the 20th, we reported on Scott Matthew Arciszewski, someone who may have done little more than blog about potential security vulnerabilities of Infragard. Today, we found a report by the Bay Citizen which details a Santa Rosa man by the name of Drew Ellis. Ellis said federal agents came to his home around 6 a.m.
Ellis denied any involvement in the hacking of PayPal, but does admit that he knows a lot about Anonymous: Have a tip? Head of U.S. cyber agency resigns suddenly. Anonymous hacks Italy's cybercrime police. Italy's specialist police unit responsible for combating cybercrime suffered an embarrassing hack Monday by members of the loosely knit Anonymous hacktivist galaxy.
In a communique posted on Twitter, the hacker group claimed to have obtained more than 8 gigabytes of internal data from what it called the "Homeland Security Cyber Operation Unit in Europe" and said it would publish all the material it had obtained from its Italian branch. The group said it had "owned" the server of the National Center for Computer Crime and the Protection of Critical Infrastructure (CNAIPIC) of the Italian police and would be publishing the material via the LulzSec and Anonymous communities under its #AntiSec campaign. The hackers said the information came from computer hard drives seized in the course of police investigations. "Many people are in prison awaiting trial while CNAIPIC used some of the data in the great game of international espionage," the hackers said.

Journalism student faces 15 years in prison and $500,000 in fines if convicted The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) arrested UNLV student Mercedes Renee Haefer on hacking charges on Tuesday. Haefer was one of 14 individuals arrested nationwide for their involvement with internet hacking group Anonymous, which synchronized an attack on PayPal’s website from Dec. 6-10 of 2010, according to an indictment filed by United States Attorney Melinda Haag in San Jose, Calif. on July 13. The first charge in the indictment against Haefer was conspiracy and consent with hackers to “commit Intentional Damage to a Protected Computer,” citing PayPal’s protected computers as those attacked.
Haefer was also indicted for damage caused in the hacking attempt, without authorization to PayPal’s computers. If convicted, Haefer faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison and $250,000 in fines for the first count and 10 years and $250,000 for the second charge. LulzSec and Anonymous are the least of your hacker worries - Jul. 25. Is LulzSec's odd cartoon logo the face of the new cyber super-villain? This is part one of a week-long series on the ecosystem of cybercrime. NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- LulzSec took down the CIA's website in mid-June in an effort to prove to the world that the hacker group should be taken seriously. But in the truly grand ecosystem of cybercriminals, LulzSec, Anonymous, AntiSec and other so-called "hacktivist" organizations are more of a nuisance than a serious threat.
These fringe groups are the least worrisome of all cyber attackers. "This isn't juicy stuff that they're getting from their attacks," said Eric Fiterman, founder of Rogue Networks, a security startup housed in an incubator backed by the University of Maryland Baltimore County. The global cybercrime universe is terrifying. Comparatively, hacktivists groups are the equivalent of graffiti artists, prank callers, hazers and bullies.
