Snitches Get Online Stitches
Holy shit...
http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runnin...us_hacke_1.php ![]() Mr Barr said he penetrated Anonymous as part of a project to demonstrate the security risks to organisations from social media and networking. He is presenting his research later this month at a conference in San Francisco. Using LinkedIn, Classmates.com, Facebook and other sites, Mr Barr also burrowed deep enough into a US military group and a US nuclear plant that he could trick workers there to click on web links that, if they had been malicious, could have installed spying software on their computers. Such "social engineering" hacks are a major vulnerability for companies targeted in industrial espionage. To punish him, Anonymous -- an enemy of Scientology and governments in Tunisia, Egypt and so on -- cornered Barr in a chat room to let him know that they had all of his findings about the group and his personal information. As reported by Gawker, from inside the chat: "All your emails were dropped. Meaning we know you were trying to sell your ****ing research to the FBI. And the sad thing is the names and info in that document//research is all ****ing fake... you could have gotten a lot of random innocent people arrested," wrote one Anonymous member. "That's an old version of my research.... not trying to sell it... much has changed," Barr wrote. "I saw your latest data and it's all the same shit," snapped back another Anonymous member. "They didn't just pick on any company, but we try to protect the US government from hackers," said Greg Hoglund, the founder of HBGary, which employs Barr. "They couldn't have chosen a worse company to pick on." But on Twitter, the nature of Anonymous persisted: "Today we taught everyone a lesson. When we actually decide to bite back against those who try to bring us down, we bite back hard. #gameover." And: "Anonymous finds the line and then crosses it." Hashtag? #noregrets. http://twitter.com/aaronbarr They changed their homepage to this: http://i.imgur.com/em14R.jpg Freaking vicious. lol |

Did you read the twitter account? hahah... damn. http://twitter.com/aaronbarr
Yeah, they sound young... but to do this to an international security business that works with CIA and FBI is insane. |

why would someone join Anonymous, let those guys know some of your private information, then piss them off? That is just dumb.

From what I can read, they are a sometimes-mean-spirited online group that includes both clueless bored kids and pretty skilled hackers. Very loosely led (if led by anyone at all) they usually torment people or organizations whom they think deserves it. They are probably best-known for going after Scientology. (who probably deserved it)
They don't steal or do ID theft, and its not like they are some scary criminal gang who will shoot anyone up or anything, I'm pretty sure they only do online crap. But, this is not a group who you give your name and then do something specifically to them that they don't like.
