Hackers recover video showing teens laughing about a rape by their frriends - National Technology. McAfee predicted in its 2013 Threat Report that Anonymous would decline in importance this year.

Hackers recover video showing teens laughing about a rape by their frriends - National Technology

If this is an example of what Anonymous has planned for 2013, we hope McAfee is wrong. KnightSec, a hacking group affiliated with the “Anonymous” collective, posted a YouTube video (embedded) on Wednesday. That video shows teenager Michael Nodianos basking in the "glory" of the gang rape of a 16-year-old girl by his high school football player teammates. Why did Anonymous, or rather, KnightSec, go to these lengths? Because it appears there may be an injustice on the way: Steubenville, Ohio is a football-crazed town of about 18,000, and residents and other teens are reluctant to assist the authorities in their prosecution of these, the town’s teenage football stars. The incident occurred in late August, when two players on Steubenville High School’s acclaimed football team, The Big Red, reportedly drugged a 16-year-old girl and sexually assaulted her.

Arrests and raids took place in Florida, California, and New Jersey and were aimed at targets suspected to be members of the hacking collective which has hit the headlines in recent months for a series of high-profile attacks. Computers and other equipment were also seized at several addresses in New York as local agents executed search warrants in New York city and Long Island, but – no arrests were made.

The long promised tool that can be used to hijack tweets was recently released on the Anonymous hacker group's official blog, complete with download links, source files and how-to instructions.Even though the infamous cybercriminals claim that the new release is not a hacking tool or an exploit kit, its purpose being “to make it easier for us to tweet faster without copying and pasting constantly,” the functions it performs beg to differ.

Anonymous Releases Twitter Hijack Tool Called URGE

URGE, as it's called, can hijack trending topics of choice, allowing the attacker to tweet messages within them. The Universal Rapid Gamma Emitter was created by Anonymous because “We recently have become tired of seeing trending topics on twitter that were redundant and 'pop culture' like,” revealed one of the members. They became mad after noticing that Twitter will not trend topics that “actually serve a cause”, only those more appealing to the general public, like those based on TV shows and celebs.

Lessons from Anonymous on cyberwar. "Cyberwar" is a heavily loaded term, which conjures up Hollywood inspired images of hackers causing oil refineries to explode.

Lessons from Anonymous on cyberwar

Some security celebrities came out very strongly against the thought of it, claiming that cyberwar was less science, and more science fiction. Last year on May 21, the United States Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) reported reaching initial operational capability, and news stories abound of US soldiers undergoing basic cyber training, which all point to the idea that traditional super powers are starting to explore this arena. Recent activities with one government contractor and Anonymous, however, show clearly that cyber operations have been going on for a long while, and that the private sector has been only too ready to fill the cyber mercenary role for piles of cash.

Anonymous vs. HBGary Early in 2011, Aaron Barr submitted a talk to a security conference in which he planned to "focus on outing the major players of the anonymous group". Anonymous speaks: the inside story of the HBGary hack. It has been an embarrassing week for security firm HBGary and its HBGary Federal offshoot.

Anonymous speaks: the inside story of the HBGary hack

HBGary Federal CEO Aaron Barr thought he had unmasked the hacker hordes of Anonymous and was preparing to name and shame those responsible for co-ordinating the group's actions, including the denial-of-service attacks that hit MasterCard, Visa, and other perceived enemies of WikiLeaks late last year.
