NATO leaders have been warned that WikiLeaks-loving 'hacktivist' collective Anonymous could pose a threat to member states' security, following recent attacks on the US Chamber of Commerce and defence contractor HBGary - and promise to 'persecute' its members.

Interview with Anonymous ( Anony_ops OR Anon_Central ) : The Hacker News ~ http://www.thehackernews.com/2011/06/interview-with-anonymous-anonyops-or.html

Anonymous is the political movement of change for the 21st century. Anonymous can and certainly will accomplish what many other political and peace movements of the past could not. When corruption, destruction and mayhem strikes from governments or corporations it is the goal of anonymous to awaken that entity and the public that a change must occur. We must understand that the Anonymous who strives for political change and world peace must be free to work without the mistrust and misdeeds of others who tarnish their good work. Anonymous is the gift we have been waiting for. Honest and trustworthy persons working hard on our behalf for the betterment of mankind.The Anonymous ,Need of 21st century,

Let’s Talk with Anony_ops ,Now known as Anon_Central on Twitter :

THN : Who is Ryan and what his matter with Anonymous.
Anony_ops : Ryan was a network administrator and unreliable like many others. Basically, we knew Ryan would explode one day. He was like the Yellowstone Caldera, he occasionally had little outbursts and some people who knew him from before warned us that he'd had massive eruptions in the past.

THN : Do you think there are more people like Ryan trying to break the Unity of Anonymous?
Anony_ops : Yes. We have had lots of guys like him in the past and I bet there are still some lurking. But they will not do what he did. In my opinion what he did was stupid and it didn't achieve anything.

THN : Is Anonymous or supporters of Anonymous behind the Sony Hacks?
Anony_ops : Anonymous IRC (AnonOps) is not involved in the Sony hacks although since being Anonymous, many people can create their own bases (cells) and work on their plans. So maybe Anonymous is involved in it or maybe not? We will never know. But I can tell you that they definitely took advantage of the whole OpSony situation. What I would suggest is that whenever Anonymous does something big, we brag about it. The fact that we denied it is a strong indicator that we didn't do it - if we had succeeded in breaking into their servers, we would have been gloating about it all over the internet.

It was quite clear that no one knew what was going on with Sony and Sony blamed us for their shitty security intrusion. Further, the people that actually participated in the intrusion saw that they could use Anonymous as a scapegoat but we would have kept the "Anonymous" tradition and not have left our motto in a single file, we would have left it in something along the lines of 9001 files. So to answer your question, we want a apology from Sony. They have no credible proof that the offenses were committed by "Anonymous" only what some copy cat left there causing confusion in the reports. Because of that we were subsequently harassed by a misguided and misinformed Sony who then started clogging up our servers.

Quote: <evil> some people will take advantage of it for their malicious shit.

THN : Tell us something about the Spanish Revolution
Anony_ops : You better ask this to Spanish Anons, I have no right to answer this because I'm not the right person. Sorry about that.

THN : What are the other operations recently born in various parts of world?
Anony_ops : There are over 9000 operations which are on-going right now. Some are #OpGreece, #OpSpain, #OpSpain, #OpMexico, #OpColombia etc.

Visit our IRC for more details.

THN : Is there any core team of Anonymous or is your every decision and action independent?
Anony_ops : There is no core team of Anonymous. If you are pointing towards Network Operators then well, there are just network operators and they manage all the tech stuff. They don't get involved in Anonymous' work and operations except to keep IRC channels free from trolls, spammers and bot attacks. Our decisions and actions are based upon people's will and teamwork. What we do in IRC is communicate with each other, form a plan and get as many people involved, of course anonymously, and we all vote on a specific action. Seems simple? It's NOT. lol So, our every action is a collective decision.

THN : Everyone knows that Anonymous is against injustice, corruption, and abuse of government power. How much are you satisfied with your own effort regarding this great responsibility?
Anony_ops : I am very much satisfied with what I am doing. What I do is carry the information and expose it to the public which otherwise would be very difficult for the public to get. You can call me a bastard Anon or whatever. I don't give a shit. We only do it for the Lulz. Anonymous is not a secret anymore, in times of pain and suffering, your ignored neighbor could be your helping hands and a light of hope. I think Anonymous represents hope for mankind because people have had enough with these criminal organizations, establishments and governments. They are fed up with their laws and wars. They've sacrificed enough. It's time for people to unite and act as one and what I'm doing is playing some part in that. So I'm very proud. I wish everyone could become Anonymous and serve their fellow brothers and sisters. Being an anon is being yourself first then sharing whatever you can.

THN : Anonymous are basically Activists. Are hackers also supporting you to make it Hacktivism?
Anony_ops : Yes. They work independently and sometimes under certain circumstances they work within the hive. As you well know, aside from the public rally's, Anonymous has also taken part in many online operations, most of which needed the use of hackers to accomplish what was needed. A great deal of Anon's submit themselves to the LOIC Hive, faxing and other methods but some websites, like the US Chamber, needed more then that, which is where the hackers have come in. The fact that they do this is to further our strength as Anonymous, and many of them, whether they have help from the Anon's or they do it single handed, will give full credit to Anonymous, because they feel the cause is just. So yes, to answer your question, hackers are supporting us and with every new operation it gives us a stronger grasp on the "Collective" that is Anonymous.

THN : What are the other issues on your list that may become the next Revolution?
Anony_ops : Operations are dependent upon their motives and their importance. Anyone's free to start any operation but valid ops with valid reasons are supported by all Anons and that's how they move forward.


THN : The issue with NATO and does Anonymous plan something against NATO ?
Anony_ops : In my opinion NATO is just following the footsteps of the Pentagon idiots and the IRC (people) are yet to decide the action to take against them. But we won't fire first!

THN : Major Security Breaches of 2011 are related with Anonymous. Is this diverting the style of Anons work?
Anony_ops : There are so many anonymous cells now that no one can keep track of them. But one thing is for sure, the smegma is out of the bottle... try stopping it. Anonymous is worldwide from every continent and every country. There are literally 100’s of IRCs which are now dedicated to anonymous. I really don't know what the future holds for Anonymous but what I can tell you for sure is I will be tweeting about them.

THN : Any message for the World from THN Platform?
Anony_ops : This is to all human beings on this planet: Share and keep information free because it is our only life line to the future. To the crooks in governments and corporations I can only say, you’re done. There are no more secrets. You can’t hide from Anonymous. We know what you are doing and we have made it our mission to expose you. People from time beginning have fought injustice but they haven’t had the right weapons. We do now. Remember this:

WE ARE ANONYMOUS
ANONYMOUS IS LEGION
WE DO NOT FORGET
WE DO NOT FORGIVE

LulzSec posts new 'hotlines' for anonymous hacking requests

Hacker group LulzSec on Saturday (Manila time) posted new numbers for its “request line" where it accepts anonymous hack requests, after claiming that its initial numbers got suspended.

The group’s new numbers, posted on its Twitter account, indicated it may be getting calls from the United States and United Kingdom.

“Our numbers got suspended. Try our new numbers | UK +44 020 8133 9723 | USA (209) 690-7925 | lulz-killers don’t like the lizard talks," it said.

LulzSec, which claimed credit for attacks on Sony and the Central Intelligence Agency, initially set up a request line, featuring what appeared to be a phone number in Ohio.

Also, the group continued with its hacks "by request," claiming to take down tribalwars.net and hackforums.net. Both sites were online as of 1pm on Saturday, however.

"These are kind of lame targets, but we're just doing them from requests. Someone, somewhere, is getting their lulz fulfilled today!" LulzSec said.

Meanwhile, the group clarified that it is not at odds with hacktivist group Anonymous, which has also claimed credit for attacks on several government websites.

“To confirm, we aren’t going after Anonymous. 4chan isn’t Anonymous to begin with, and /b/ is certainly not the whole of 4chan. True story," it said.

Also, the group claimed its members “screw each other over for a jolt of satisfaction."

In a manifesto posted on its website, LulzSec admitted having enemies, but said these are mainly gamers. It also insisted its release of unencrypted usernames and passwords is “funny."

“This is the lulz lizard era, where we do things just because we find it entertaining. Watching someone’s Facebook picture turn into a penis and seeing their sister’s shocked response is priceless. Receiving angry emails from the man you just sent 10 dildos to because he can’t secure his Amazon password is priceless. You find it funny to watch havoc unfold, and we find it funny to cause it. We release personal data so that equally evil people can entertain us with what they do with it," it said.

“This is the Internet, where we screw each other over for a jolt of satisfaction. There are peons and lulz lizards; trolls and victims," it added. — TJD, GMA News

This is the first in a two-part interview with Aaron Barr, the former CEO of HBGary Federal

Each of us has made mistakes in our lives - woeful errors that we've been forced to learn from at great personal cost. Blessedly, those painful experiences are typically private affairs. Tears are spilled. Mea culpas are issued to those we've wronged, then we, the folks we hurt and the storm clouds move on.

For an unfortunate few, however, blunders go viral. Their mistakes fuel evening news segments and column inches in the pages of leading newspapers. Millions queue up to watch them on YouTube and they get turned over for laughs by late night comedians. Think about lonely Congressman Weiner or that poor woman who, distracted by her cell phone texting, flopped into the fountain at a Kentucky mall.

Aaron Barr, the former CEO of security firm HBGary Federal, is one of those unlucky few. No fountain-flopper, Barr is a respected authority on computer security whose mistake was to openly speculate on the identities of members of the online hacking group Anonymous, then watch as events spun gruesomely out of his control. Infuriated by what they interpreted as an attempt to out them, Anonymous hacked HBGary's servers and made off with tens of thousands of messages from the company's e-mail server, which the group then posted online. Anonymous's preemptive strike put the inner workings of HBGary up for public view. That begot countless other stories - not all of them accurate - as reporters poured over the contents of HBGary Federal's correspondence, Wikileaks style. Their digging turned up troubling communications about the company's plans to assist the U.S. government and various other Beltway interests with online reconnaissance. Before it was all over, no less than Comedy Central titan Stephen Colbert riffed on the controversy. And, not too long after that, Barr tendered his resignation from HBGary Federal.

Since then, Barr has kept his hand in the IT security game, but he's also kept a low profile. On the other side of the fence, Anonymous and related groups, like LulzSec, have become emboldened by their success in the HBGary Federal attack, launching similar attacks on Sony Corp. and Monsanto, the U.S. Senate, the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Public Broadcasting System, the federal police in Spain, the government of Turkey and other targets. There have been some arrests, but the core leadership of both Anonymous and the closely related LulzSec remain free.

But the unfortunate events of this Spring haven't bowed the former CEO. And the events of the last four months have, if anything, made him seem prophetic. More than ever, Barr's call for the IT community to focus attention on the individuals behind cyber attacks - not just the technical details of the attacks - rings true. In one of the first interviews he's given since the hack of HBGary Federal in February, Barr talked, by phone, with Threatpost editor Paul Roberts about the hack of HBGary Federal, Anonymous, LulzSec and why most security investments are misplaced.

Wow, where to start !



"You can't release 250,000 sensitive documents into the wild and think you're doing good for society. I don't think you can, because there's no way you can vet all 250,000 documents for whether there's a need to release a specific document and what the blow back to that doc might be."

Barr just doesn't get it. The "blowback", i.e. serious damage to the government being exposed, is THE POINT of the disclosure ! The whole idea is to seriously weaken these governments through disclosure as part of an over all shift of power FROM the governments and TO the people. Any State that fails to grasp this will be destroyed in this war.



And why is there no mention of the fact that his dox of Anonymous was 95% incorrect, thus exposing 100's of completely innocent people to being falsley accused of being associated with Anonymous ? Why is there no discussion of the morality of this idiot spying on private citizens and their online activities ?



This man is an amoral fool, he deserved what was done to him. This article can safely be ignored.

LulzSec en Anonymous werken samen

Laatste update: 20 juni 2011 09:33 info AMSTERDAM – Hackergroep LulzSec gaat samenwerken met activistengroepering Anonymous. De operatie genaamd Operation Anti-Security richt zich op het openbaar maken van overheidsinformatie.
Foto: Thinkstock Dat blijkt uit een verklaring van LulzSec dat de afgelopen weken bekend werd door aanvallen op de servers van Fox, Sony, de CIA en tal van andere websites.

LulzSec wordt omschreven als een aftakking van Anonymous. De groep zou bestaan uit voormalig leden van de activistengroep die zich onder meer heeft bemoeid met de opstand in de Arabische wereld. Zo werden websites van de overheden Egypte en Tunesië aangevallen door Anonymous.

AntiSec

In de verklaring van LulzSec worden andere aanvallers opgeroepen zich aan te sluiten bij het initiatief. De groep vraagt zelfs om de term AntiSec middels graffiti in het straatbeeld te verspreiden.

Ook wil de groep de term op het internet bekendmaken.

Overheidsinformatie

“Het stelen en lekken van geheime overheidsinformatie heeft de prioriteit”, zo schrijft LulzSec. "Doelwitten zijn banken en andere hooggeplaatste sectoren. Als geprobeerd wordt onze actie te censureren, zullen we reageren met meer aanvallen.”

Onder de verklaring staat een viertal links waarvan Wikileaks er een is. Of de organisatie verbonden is aan de actie is echter niet bekend.

De operatie lijkt een overgang te zijn van het stelen en publiceren van gebruikersnamen en wachtwoorden naar het onthullen van gevoelige informatie die overheden liever geheimhouden.

Salutations Lulz Lizards,

As we're aware, the government and whitehat security terrorists across the world continue to dominate and control our Internet ocean. Sitting pretty on cargo bays full of corrupt booty, they think it's acceptable to condition and enslave all vessels in sight. Our Lulz Lizard battle fleet is now declaring immediate and unremitting war on the freedom-snatching moderators of 2011.

Welcome to Operation Anti-Security (#AntiSec) - we encourage any vessel, large or small, to open fire on any government or agency that crosses their path. We fully endorse the flaunting of the word "AntiSec" on any government website defacement or physical graffiti art. We encourage you to spread the word of AntiSec far and wide, for it will be remembered. To increase efforts, we are now teaming up with the Anonymous collective and all affiliated battleships.

Whether you're sailing with us or against us, whether you hold past grudges or a burning desire to sink our lone ship, we invite you to join the rebellion. Together we can defend ourselves so that our privacy is not overrun by profiteering gluttons. Your hat can be white, gray or black, your skin and race are not important. If you're aware of the corruption, expose it now, in the name of Anti-Security.

Top priority is to steal and leak any classified government information, including email spools and documentation. Prime targets are banks and other high-ranking establishments. If they try to censor our progress, we will obliterate the censor with cannonfire anointed with lizard blood.

It's now or never. Come aboard, we're expecting you...

History begins today.

Lulz Security,

Hackers use Flag Day to protest Federal Reserve
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Hackers belonging to a group called "Anonymous" wanted to make a statement Tuesday about America's banking system. They pushed for protests in public spaces and online.

Wearing masks and holding signs, a small protest group answered an online call to make Flag Day a time to speak out against big banks.

The group is calling for Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke to step down, saying he is not doing enough to fix the federal government's ever-rising debt.

In fact, they want to dismantle the fed altogether and hand the authority to print money back to Congress.

"This is not what our forefathers intended for our currency system," one protester said.

"Anonymous" organized the demonstration with a widely circulated YouTube video narrated by a computerized voice.

The gathering it called for is just one of two prongs to this protest. Demonstrators would not talk about the other.

"I know nothing about the denial of service attacks on the website," a protester said.

The second prong of the protest is what experts at CNET compare to a digital sit-in. Instead of occupying a public space, protesters tried to occupy all the available bandwidth to the Fed's website in hopes of knocking it offline.

Tech writer Elinor Mills says in the past few years, so-called "hacktivists" have gathered enough volunteers to successfully bring down much bigger websites, including Visa, MasterCard and PayPal after those companies blocked donations to WikiLeaks.

"Any disruption or protest that they can -- online and offline; that's supposedly what they're after," Mills said.

By late afternoon, the Fed's website was still up -- but running slowly.

And though street demonstrators would not say if they took part in the online attack, one did say, "Maybe it's a good idea, I don't know."

The structures within the system that promote division within the people of the countries of this world and the injustices that are placed upon the people.

*Spread the message. Share this video and the website with everyone you can. Make your own videos, songs, art, graffiti etc... spreading the word that we are here, the movement is taking hold. Expect us.

*Learn ways that will allow you to break free from the system. Start small and implement them in your daily lives. This will be implemented as a focus of Phase 2 as well, escalating what you have learned.

*ANON hackers - begin supporting the movement. This is a calling to all of you for the aid of this movement. Low-priority targets are your engagement. Assist with the movement and spread the message of "The Plan".

I urge everyone to take the ten minutes to watch the movie and give it some thought. What we're doing now is not working. We are running out of time. Right now we have the entire world's momentum with us, let's not waste that. There is much work to be done and we need your help to make this planet a better place for everyone to live on.

The people of Greece, Ireland, UK, Turkey, Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen, Spain, Italy, Syria, Bahrain have all decided they no longer can abide by the flagrant disregard the Oligarchy has for the workers of the planet. The time is now for Global Solidarity.

Een 19-jarige jongen is gearresteerd op verdenking van het hacken van websites, door de Britse politie en de Amerikaanse FBI. De man zou verantwoordelijk zijn voor digitale aanvallen op onder meer de Amerikaanse inlichtingendienst CIA en de Amerikaanse Senaat.

Ook elektronicaconcern Sony zou tot het doelwit van de hacker behoren. Scotland Yard maakt vandaag bekend dat de man gisteravond in een woning in het zuidoosten van Engeland werd opgepakt. Hij wordt in Londen ondervraagd.

De man zou lid zijn van het hackerscollectief Lulz Security. Die groep eiste de digitale aanvallen van eerder dit jaar op. Volgens het collectief zijn de aanvallen bedoeld om aan te tonen dat de beveiliging van de websites niet afdoende is.

Unconfirmed: Scotland Yard takes LulzSec member into custody (Update)



Update 3:

Via phone, we were told that the Metropolitan Police Service believes that this is a significant arrest.

When asked if the man in custody is connected to LulzSec or Anonymous, the person we spoke with said that his computer will be examined to determine if he is connected to any such group. Police will not release the man’s name, and had no other comments on the arrest.

Update 2:

The speculation continues. Talk online has named Ryan Cleary, as the 19-year-old arrested by the PCeU.

Earlier in June, Cleary was named in a Pastebin document as “a dissident hacker who attacked AnonOps and was subsequently ‘doxed’.” [Source] [Ryan’s alleged dox are here]

“After the Sony Fiasco led to a drop in support for Anonymous, LulzSec was likely invented to take credit for the hack ex post facto. LulzSec appears to be related to the Ryan Cleary incident, which has already been forgotten,” the document adds.

[ Note: AnonOps is the IRC network were those who associate with Anonymous will sometimes gather. Ryan was a network operator there.]

“Some accuse Cleary of hacking Sony. However, Cleary is not facing any criminal charges and there is no evidence that he exists. AnonOps hackers may have engineered a false flag attack against their own servers under the name of Ryan Cleary, in hopes that the Sony hack would be credited to him. LulzSec is simply the logical conclusion to this chain of events – a hacker group that breaks all the non-existent unwritten rules of Anonymous in order to regain traction after the failure of #OpSony.”

We were present for a chat that included Ryan, shortly after AnonOps was attacked.

Ryan claimed that OpSony and the attack on BMI were going nowhere until he added his support. This support came by way of 5-10,000 bots, out of an install base of 50,000 to pull from. In addition, he added that the use of LOIC to attack targets was just a scam for the public.

“During OpSony we had a maximum of 40 [LOIC canons],” Ryan told us. “The bot shit was kept secret because it'd be bad PR. If they knew it was bots instead of [LOIC], then what’s the point of the public coming in?”

The whole article can be seen here.

On Twitter, one of the names linked with LulzSec, Sabu, said that: "FYI all members of lulzsec are safe. ryan Clearly (sic) has little to do with lulzsec besides running irc.lulzsec.org."

A short time later, LulzSec's account posted: "Seems the glorious leader of LulzSec got arrested, it's all over now... wait... we're all still here! Which poor bastard did they take down?"

Update:

A contact at the FBI says that he anticipates that they will have additional information for the press later this afternoon.

Original Article:

Earlier this morning, Metropolitan Police Service announced that they have arrested a 19-year-old man in a planned intelligence operation. The timing of the event has led many in the media to speculate that the man in question is a member of LulzSec.

The arrest comes days after LulzSec launched a DDoS attack against the Serious Organized Crime Agency (SOCA) and the CIA.

The full statement from a Scotland Yard spokesman is below:

Officers from the Metropolitan Police Central e-Crime Unit (PCeU) have arrested a 19-year-old man in a pre-planned intelligence-led operation.

The arrest follows an investigation into network intrusions and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks against a number of international business and intelligence agencies by what is believed to be the same hacking group.

The teenager was arrested on suspicion of Computer Misuse Act, and Fraud Act offences and was taken to a central London police station, where he currently remains in custody for questioning.

Searches at a residential address in Wickford, Essex, following the arrest last night have led to the examination of a significant amount of material. These forensic examinations remain ongoing.

The PCeU was assisted by officers from Essex Police and have been working in co-operation with the FBI.

At this point, there is no confirmation that the person arrested is a member of LulzSec. However, as the statement said, he was arrested during a sting operation after attacks on intelligence agencies and international businesses.

This is why the media made an immediate jump to name LulzSec, as previously mentioned, they have hit both examples (Sony, FBI, CIA, SOCA) since they arrived in the public eye towards the end of May.

We’ll follow developments on this story and post more information as we get it.

Greetings Internets,

We have blissfully obtained records of every single citizen who gave their records to the security-illiterate UK government for the 2011 census

We're keeping them under lock and key though... so don't worry about your privacy (...until we finish re-formatting them for release)

Myself and the rest of my Lulz shipmates will then embark upon a trip to ThePirateBay with our beautiful records for your viewing pleasure!
