Noam Chomsky & Anonymous) Anonymous & National Defense Authorization Act. 'Anonymous' plans for 'violent revolution' Text smaller Text bigger The hackers known as “Anonymous,” who helped organize and support the Occupy movement’s protests, have released an online survivor guide for citizens “in case of a violent revolution in your country.”
The guide warns protests can be a “bloody mess.” It trains rioters on how to avoid tear gas, rubber bullets and live ammunition. The 15-page PDF document claims police will not help protesters and may actually be enemies of the revolution while warning that protest groups may be infiltrated by “fake civilians.” The Anonymous survival guide was published just before the hacker group claimed Sunday to have stolen thousands of credit card numbers and other personal information belonging to clients of U.S. Anonymous has promised more infiltrations and hacker jobs, saying it has “enough targets lined up to extend the fun fun fun of LulzXmas through the entire next week.” The group previously claimed responsibility for attacks on major credit card and Internet companies.

Anonymous Hackers Play Tricky 21st-Century Robin Hood. A holiday-themed attack into on the Stratfor Global Intelligence service has left various charities with as much as $1 million in unauthorized donations, all thanks to the warm-hearted hackers at Antisec.
The Austin-based private intelligence firm more widely known as STRATFOR admitted to a breach in a Sunday evening Facebook post bearing a worrisome warning: "We have reason to believe that your personal and credit card data could have been included in the information that was illegally obtained and disclosed. " Apparently, Antisec cracked into one of STRATFOR's customer database at the e-commerce service Ubercart last week and stole about 200 gigabytes worth of data, including an estimated 30,000 credit card numbers which they then used to make small donations to a number of international charities around Christmastime.
Among the charities was the Red Cross which, according to The New York Times, received at least one $200 donation from a retired Texas banker. Anonymous exposes 75,000 credit card numbers - The Washington Post. Hacker collective Anonymous has just dumped 200 GB of names, email addresses and passwords for around 860,000 Stratfor users. Anonymous also exposed credit card numbers for 75,000 paying customers of Stratfor. Stratfor, a highly trusted source of international intelligence, provides reports on international security and related threats to government and military personnel as well as to the private sector. It is unknown whether Anonymous gained access to other, more sensitive information during the Stratfor hacks, which occurred on December 24. “The time for talk is over,” Anonymous wrote last night on Pastebin. “It’s time to dump the full 75,000 names, addresses, CCs and md5 hashed passwords to every customer that has ever paid Stratfor. Anonymous’ motives for the attack are also somewhat hazy.
In addition to the Stratfor attack and exposure, Anonymous is threatening a new action on New Year’s Eve, December 31. Anonymous Affiliates Are Unhappy About the 'Robin Hood' Hack.
