Bahrain Grand Prix: Hackers Anonymous threaten Bernie Ecclestone with online anarchy unless he calls off race. By Ian Parkes, Press Association Published: 16:05 GMT, 15 April 2013 | Updated: 17:02 GMT, 15 April 2013 Cyber anarchists Anonymous are again vowing to disrupt this weekend's Bahrain Grand Prix. A year ago, the internet hacking organisation threw a spanner in the works of the formula1.com website under the title of 'Operation Bahrain' at a time when tensions were high ahead of the race. It was a grand prix that went ahead against a volatile backdrop and with calls for it to be cancelled as police and protesters clashed.
Tensions: Bahraini men gather to chat on a bench in front of a wall sprayed with graffiti opposing the forthcoming Bahrain Grand Prix in the western village of Malkiya (above) and riot police run for cover from petrol bombs thrown by anti-regime protestors following a demonstration against the race (below) Twelve months on and the daily struggle continues for the mainly Shiite opposition who seek reform from the minority Sunni rulers. Hackers take control of North Korea's official Twitter and Flickr accounts to brand Kim Jong Un a pig. Activists from the Anonymous group are believed to be behind cyber attack Tweets on North Korea's official Twitter account said 'Hacked' Flickr page showed image of Kim as a pig with Mickey Mouse on his chest The mocked-up Wanted poster included a $1million 'bounty' on Kim By Becky Evans Published: 20:28 GMT, 4 April 2013 | Updated: 13:58 GMT, 5 April 2013 Hackers posted a picture of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un portrayed as a pig on the country's official flickr account today.
The account and the official Uriminzokkiri Twitter account were apparently hacked today as tensions in the Korean Peninsula continued to rise. The North’s Uriminzokkiri Twitter and Flickr accounts stopped sending out content typical of that posted by the regime in Pyongyang, such as photos of North’s leader Kim Jong Un meeting with military officials. Scroll down for video This picture of Kim Jong Un as a pig appeared on the official Flickr page after activists hacked the account. Anonymous and the global correction. The tendency to relate past events to what is possible in the present becomes more difficult as the scope of the geopolitical environment changes.
It is a useful thing, then, to ask every once in a while if the environment has recently undergone any particular severe changes, thereby expanding our options for the future. Terminology, let alone our means of exchanging information, has changed to such a degree that many essential discussions in today's "communications age" would be entirely incomprehensible to many two decades ago. As the social, political and technological environment has developed, some have already begun to explore new options, seizing new chances for digital activism - and more will soon join in.
It is time for the rest of the world to understand why. Service denied Already, such organisations are being established across Tunisia, just as they will be established elsewhere as the movement proceeds. The seeds of cyber revolution For great justice. 'Hacktivist' Groups Like 'Anonymous' are not the Biggest Threat to Cybersecurity, says UB Information Assurance Expert. University at Buffalo Professor Shambhu Upadhyaya, PhD, (pronounced SHAM-Boo Oop-a-DYE-uh) teaches and conducts research in the area of computer security.
He is director of UB's Center of Excellence in Information Systems Assurance Research and Education (CEISARE), whose work has included studying cybersecurity and training students to protect the nation's information technology systems. With hacker collectives carrying out high-profile cyber attacks -- most recently claiming to have stolen a large trove of data including personal information from U.S. law enforcement agencies -- Upadhyaya comments on how much of a threat these groups really pose to cybersecurity. Upadhyaya can be reached at 716-645-3183 or shambhu@buffalo.edu. Q: Are hacker groups like Anonymous the biggest threats to cybersecurity today? A: No. Groups such as Anonymous, LulzSec, AntiSec, etc. belong to a special group who indulge in 'hacktivism' -- hacking and activism. Attack of the Hacktivists.
Is it a Crime? The Transgressive Politics of Hacking in Anonymous. “Ain’t no such thing as halfway crooks…” -Mobb Deep, “Shook Ones,” Infamous Mobb Deep “there are so many different anonymous networks with different terms of use so i keep mixing them up” -Anonymous on Anonymous (#anonops) September 25, 2011 Joseph Menn’s September 24, 2011 Financial Times article, “They’re watching. And they can bring you down,” covers a dynamic that has received scant attention in the mainstream news: tensions within political entity referred to as Anonymous (Anon, for short).
In what follows, we discuss some of our primary concerns with Menn’s FT piece, since we believe more critical engagement with the issues he raises is likely to yield important lessons for scholarly and journalistic approaches to digital media, protest politics, and cyber-security. In Menn’s assessment, Anonymous is characterized as a political entity that arose from 4chan, seen by many as one of the Internet’s seediest quarters.
