rawstory.com — Email addresses and passwords belonging to British, US and NATO officials were posted online following the hacking of a US intelligence analysis firm over Christmas, the Guardian daily reported Monday. Online “hacktivist” group Anonymous claimed via Twitter on Christmas Day that it had stolen a trove of emails and credit card information from Stratfor’s member subscribers.

Why do I feel like cheering? Maybe because outsourcing our intel to private companies, aka digital mercenaries, doesn't make good sense.

It's kind of like the wild west out there. But truth be told assault on internet freedom have been launched by the boatload and the rise of corporate power in gov has spiked so to my eye it looks like a natural contest for dominance as the Earth accelerates in overheat.. Kind of a check on power with resultant possibility of unintended consequence on both sides. Still without net neutrality and the ability of people to communicate or come to aid of others what chance does the world have.. If there were policies adopted worldwide of guaranteeing freedom of access to the internet perhaps mass dump of information would become a thing of the past. Certainly an immediate calamity about runaway greenhouse effect should be enough to rally support for people to work together.
There is like a showdown between good and evil going on in the world today and I think the little guys who mean no harm better win.

It's amazing to me how unsophisticated some of these organizations are. Anon should be compensated for these valuable life lessons it's so graciously bestowing upon the ignorant/complacent.

They are nothing more than vandals and thieves and dangerous ones at that. Anyone cheering this needs to consider what you would think if this happened to you or someone you love (and regardless of your politics, it could). This s**t is serious. And it will hit the fan and then anonymous, even though they brought this on themselves, will scream that they are victims.Comment is buried, click here to see the rest.
