In a retaliatory strike against US law enforcement agencies who made arrests earlier last month of alleged Anonymous and LulzSec members in US and UK, Antisec has released massive amounts of personal data on torrents and TOR Networks.
According to their manifesto, Antisec has done this in hopes, “that not only will dropping this info demonstrate the inherently corrupt nature of law enforcement using their own words, as well as result in possibly humiliation, firings, and possible charges against several officers, but that it will also disrupt and sabotage their ability to communicate and terrorize communities.”
These massive hacks, on over 70 law enforcement agencies throughout the US, resulted in leaking over 10GB of data of personal email addresses, passwords, home addresses, phone numbers, social security numbers and more. As mentioned earlier, these attacks were launched after various arrests were made earlier last month.”We stand in support of all those who struggle against the injustices of the state and capitalism using whatever tactics are most effective, even if that means breaking their laws in order to expose their corruption.”
“For too long they have been using and abusing our personal information, spying on us, arresting us, beating us, and thinking that they can get away with oppressing us in secrecy. Well it’s retribution time: we want them to experience just a taste of the kind of misery and suffering they inflict upon us on an everyday basis.”
Brooks-Jeffrey Marketing own the servers that host various sites of the sheriff’s association. Once their servers were breached earlier last week, various officials of the hacked sites downplayed the leak and the type of information that was stolen. And so BJM soon relaunched their servers with “more security”, unfortunately they carried over the backdoor files AntiSec used to hack their original servers, and so they defaced more than 70 law enforcement sites within an hour of the servers going back up.
“We lol’d as we watched the news reports come in, quoting various Sheriffs who denied that they were ever hacked, that any personal information was stolen, that they did not store snitch info on their servers.” Now all of that data is leaked on the internet for everyone to see.
As is always the case, once hackers are threatened by legal actions, they retaliate with even more firepower. We saw this take an ugly turn with Sony recently where their online servers were unavailable for a month, which directly resulted their profitability for the year. For now, we can all continue to watch as neither side backs down and are ready to take each other on again and again, with even higher stakes.
