Anonymous just hacked USSC.gov over the Aaron Schwartz "suicide" (https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=269334)

Have a few of these gov hacks that don't start nuclear war is a good thing.

Human beings rarely do anything before they have to and this will encourage preparedness

They probably aren't wannabees if they are hacking government websites. They is.

You're also assuming that the vulnerability was accidental and not intentional. It might be accidental but it also might be a known vulnerability that is designed to allow them to study tactics and track them more effectively. Part of defense isn't keeping everyone out, it's knowing when to let them in so they think they have achieved something but in reality it was by design.

Age old rules never assume your opponent is an idiot and never assume you're smarter than them. It might be true, but the truly smart prepare as if it isn't.

But in the end this whole exercise is stupid. The only thing that matters about this kid is that he's a quitter. Harsh but absolutely true.

Any updates to this?

Good question. I expected it to get big. Instead it's been buried.

Did you really expect anything less?

Most of these hacks never see the light of public day.

Anonymous posts over 4000 U.S. bank executive credentials

Following attacks on U.S. government websites last weekend, Anonymous seems to have made a new "Operation Last Resort" .gov website strike Sunday night.

Anonymous appears to have published login and private information from over 4,000 American bank executive accounts in the name of its new Operation Last Resort campaign, demanding U.S. computer crime law reform.

A spreadsheet has been published on a .gov website allegedly containing login information and credentials, IP addresses, and contact information of American bank executives.

If true, it could be that Anonymous has released banker information that could be connected to Federal Reserve computers, including contact information and cell phone numbers for U.S. bank Presidents, Vice Presidents, COO's Branch Managers, VP's and more.

The website used in this attack belongs to the Alabama Criminal Justice Information Center (ACJIC). The page extension URL is titled, "oops-we-did-it-again."
