Anonops #7: Meer is beter

quote:

Ook jij staat in superdatabase van Brits bedrijf

Het Britse conglomeraat WPP heeft een database gemaakt met daarin de profielen van 500 miljoen internetters. De superdatabase, naar eigen zeggen de grootste ter wereld, heeft een dekking van bijna 100 procent van de Nederlanders die online zijn. Kom je op internet, dan weet dit bedrijf wat je doet en wie je bent.

WPP bestaat uit een groot aantal reclame- en communicatiebedrijven, die op hun beurt weer samenwerken met derden, waaronder internetgiganten als Google. Het verzamelt informatie over internetters bij bezoek aan bepaalde websites. Leeftijd, geslacht, interesses, koopgedrag, soms zelfs huisadressen, zijn enkele zaken die WPP registreert en doorverkoopt aan veel grote adverteerders.

Of in de toekomst 100 procent van de Nederlandse internetters geregistreerd blijven in de gigantische database, is nog maar de vraag. De Tweede Kamer ging onlangs akkoord met de nieuwe Telecomwet. Daardoor is ook formeel vastgelegd dat er strengere eisen worden gesteld aan websites voor het plaatsen van cookies op de computer van de internetgebruiker. Met cookies, kleine tekstbestanden, worden gegevens over het surfgedrag en persoonlijke voorkeuren van internetgebruikers geregistreerd. Ook kan zo worden bijgehouden welke producten door internetters in een winkelwagentje zijn gedaan. WPP werkt met cookies, maar ook met andere technieken om aan data over internetters te komen.

'Op internet zijn veel websites gratis, omdat adverteerders hun boodschap willen communiceren', zegt directeur Brian Lesser van Xasis, het bedrijf dat voor WPP de database beheert, in The Independent. 'Wij ondersteunen deze interneteconomie om deze bedrijven hun doelgroep te geven.' Volgens Lesser zijn alle gegevens geanonimiseerd.

Privacy-belangenorganisatie Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) is toch ongerust. 'Als je weet welke websites iemand bezoekt is het vrij eenvoudig om achter de identiteit van die persoon te komen', zegt John Buckman van EFF. Volgens de organisatie zou de superdatabase ook zeer interessant zijn voor hackers.

Amerikaanse Secret Service jaagt op hacker Fox News

De Amerikaanse Secret Service, belast met de bewaking van president Barack Obama, onderzoekt de zes valse tweets over een moord op Obama. Een woordvoerder van de Secret Service heeft dat gisteren (lokale tijd) gezegd.

Hackers verstuurden de tweets gisteren, nadat ze de Twitteraccount van de populaire tv-zender Fox News hadden gekraakt. Een zekere 'Script Kiddie' schreef dat Obama was gestorven door twee kogels. Fox News kon de valse mails pas 10 uur later verwijderen.

FBI Raids Home of Ohio Man Linked to Hacker Group

U.S. authorities raided the home of a Hamilton, Ohio, man who appeared to have links to the hacker group LulzSec, as a probe into recent high-profile computer attacks gained momentum.

Agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation searched the home Monday, an FBI spokesman confirmed without providing any further detail. A person close to the matter said the arrested man is an alleged LulzSec member.

U.S. authorities in recent months have conducted dozens of searches as part of investigations into Anonymous, a loosely knit group of cyber activists, and splinter group LulzSec.

The groups have claimed responsibility for a number of attacks against companies and government organizations. That has prompted a global law-enforcement crackdown on the groups that has included waves of arrests across Europe and in Turkey.

British police, who are cooperating with the FBI, have made seven arrests this year as part of their probe. That includes 19-year old Ryan Cleary who had been a prominent figure in Anonymous and then LulzSec. U.K. prosecutors last week charged him with five computer-related offenses. Authorities allege he infected computers in order to form a computer network, called a botnet, that he then used to launch online attacks against websites including that of the Serious Organised Crime Agency, a U.K. equivalent of the FBI.

Essex-based Mr. Cleary, who is out on bail, is co-operating with police, his lawyer said. The lawyer added that Mr. Cleary has been diagnosed with Asperger syndrome, a form of autism. The other six individuals arrested in the U.K. have been released on bail and haven't been charged.

LulzSec recently claimed to identify a couple of individuals it said had "tried to snitch" on the group. LulzSec appeared to reveal the full names, addresses and other contact information of two U.S. men it said were involved in criminal hacks. That included details of a person going by the nickname "m_nerva" who LulzSec claimed came from Hamilton, Ohio.

The individual identified by LulzSec, who apparently had a falling out with the group, couldn't be reached for comment.

LulzSec recently said it was ending its campaigns under that banner, but members have since joined a group within Anonymous called "AntiSec," short for "antisecurity."

Anonymous is well-known to U.S. law enforcement. By late last year, the FBI was investigating attacks by Anonymous members against the movie and recording-industry when the group also started targeting individuals and organizations that had tangled with document-sharing website WikiLeaks.

In January, FBI agents conducted searches of more than 40 residences across the U.S. No arrests were announced following those searches. The bureau is also probing subsequent hacks, including of Sony Corp. and HBGary Federal LLC, and an attack on FBI-affiliated organization InfraGuard. The FBI spokesman declined to comment on the probe.

In April, the FBI raided the home of Darrin Lantz in Gig Harbor, Wash., according to court filings. Authorities suspect Mr. Lantz was involved in an Anonymous campaign against websites belonging to Gene Simmons, of rock band Kiss, in retaliation for anti-piracy comments he made, court filings say.

Authorities say the attacks knocked Mr. Simmons's websites offline for 36 hours, causing tens of thousands of dollars in damage as a result of downtime and costs associated with changing computer servers and website hosts. During one strike, Mr. Lantz's computer attacked a website 48,471 times during a 47-minute period, authorities said.

Mr. Lantz, who hasn't been charged, didn't respond to a request for comment.

Veel geblaat, weinig wol. Ryan had vrijwel niets met Lulzsec te maken en was zeker geen "prominent lid", en de raid op Laurelai was waarschijnlijk een onzinverhaal (oftewel misinfo).

Leaked proposals reveal UK web censorship plans
Result of closed-door discussions

Ed Vaizey, the UK's Minister for Culture, Communications and Creative Industries, has been taking part in closed meetings with copyright lobbyists, apparently working on a proposal that could amount to internet censorship.

Leaked online, the proposed "voluntary website blocking" scheme would "inhibit access to specific sites" based on the opinions of "expert bodies" and through shotgun court hearings.

Ed Vaizey has already admitted in parliament that he has held a number of roundtables with ISPs but public interest organisations like the Open Rights Group who asked to attend the meetings were denied access.

Industry bias

The document relates to copyright infringement, but has also been linked to online child safety and there are fears that it could become a one-stop-censorship-shop for anything this "expert body" deems inappropriate.

Other rights-holding organisations involved in the talks include the Football Association, the Publishers Associations, the Motion Picture Association and music industry execs.

While these organisations are keen to protect their own content and stamp out online piracy, rights infringement and plagiarism, the fact that only one group with the interests of the average consumer have been invited to participate in just one session poses a real concern.

Access to the open internet is gradually becoming a human rights issue, and taking on only the views of a biased few when discussing actively blocking websites could have longterm repercussions for Brits.

Human rights

The Digital Economy Act has already proposed blocking sites for copyright infringement, but it's an act that has been the subject of much debate and concern among web-users and some ISPs.

As the Open Rights Group says, "Open policy making that takes on board the broadest range of views is not something within the gift of politicians but a responsibility they bear."

"It is critical that policy making happens through a broad and open public debate, especially on matters that so tangibly affect rights such as access to information and freedom of expression.

"This is not simply about the rights of 'sites that facilitate infringement' or those running them. It is about the processes through which decisions are made about what you are allowed to see and do. Clumsy, quasi-judicial and unaccountable website blocking is dangerous for exactly that reason."

Wacht, kan zijn dat die in Ohio m_nerva was, en niet Laurelai... m_nerva was inderdaad gedoxt door Lulzsec voor zover ik weet, en heeft idd een bezoekje van de FBI gehad. Laurelai was al eerder aangewezen door Anonymous (ivm de puinzooi die hij/zij aangericht had met Anonleaks), maar die is dus niet geraid, en heeft zelf waarschijnlijk misinfo lopen verspreiden.

Exclusive first interview with key LulzSec hacker

[quote]It was early May when LulzSec's profile skyrocketed after a hack on the giant Sony corporation. LulzSec's name comes from Lulz, a corruption of LOL, often denoting laughter at the victim of a prank. For 50 days until it disbanded, the group's unique blend of humour, taunting and unapologetic data theft made it notorious. But knowing whether LulzSec was all about the "lulz" or if it owed more to its roots as part of Anonymous – the umbrella group of internet subculture and digital activism – was pure speculation. Until now.

To all friendly and enemy vessels,

Today we want to introduce you to Nimbuzz, a Dutch company providing a free
mobile messaging application carrying the same name. This company is not
situated in just the Netherlands as they have offices in Argentina, India,
Indonesia and all over Europe. So why does this company interest us? Well,
simply put, they are capable and self-admittingly willing to co-operate with
governments to help censor the public's use of the very service they offer.

Now it should be noted that some of our blackhat friends who are extensively
involved in the AntiSec movement have had access to this company's networks for
some time. Their access to this network is best described as complete access to
everything in their network including all of their source code on Nimbuzz's svn
server. The gross incompetence of the security model put in place for this
server astounded even us.

We have access to many many networks and because of this we have to prioritize
what is of interest or use to us (or you, the public that we love so much).
However, we had some friends bring it to our attention that this Nimbuzz
company is actually enacting policies that directly go against everything
Antisec stands for. Thus, here we are.

To prove that we aren't making this up here is a document in their CMS
displaying the procedure of how, if requested, they can switch off VOIP
services BY GOVERNMENT REQUEST. A quote from the document:

"In some countries governments and/or operators have reasons for not allowing
VoIP over (mobile) data networks. They may use technical means to active
block and / or throttle the Nimbuzz traffic over their network. This results
in total, partial or severe Nimbuzz service degradation towards the end-user.

When these cases are known, Nimbuzz will open dialogue with the
government/operator. Aim is to resolve the service degradation and restore
quality of service. In return for allowing Nimbuzz service to run properly,
we can offer to switch of VoIP calls on this operator network."

The document goes further to state that Nimbuzz currently blocks all VOIP
traffic in Syria and Egypt and even includes specific data such as IP ranges
given by providers.

This is entirely unacceptable and let's make this perfectly clear:

We DO NOT tolerate any kind of censorship of communication.

We DO NOT tolerate companies working in collusion with governments to stop the
free flow of information

We WILL expose these companies to the public to show how their information can
be manipulated and censored by the governments and corporations that work with
them

Thus, we release the document mentioned above in full as well as some other
information from their CMS. As a bonus we have also acquired some code from the
/trunk directory on their svn. In total we downloaded over 120 Gigabyte of
source code but will not release it..yet.

Take heed, governments that seek to oppose the people who elect them and the
corporations who the people work for - We will not stand idly by while you take
away our electronic and physical freedom.

"People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid
of their people."

2011-07-05 LocalLeaks and HackerLeaks Press Release

First we would like to thank the global media for being so attentive to the launch of our two new disclosure platforms. We would also like to thank the several dozen people who already trusted us with their sensitive leaks. It has been a remarkable week for those of us who staff these two important projects. None of us ever expected in our wildest dreams the enormity of the reaction to these two ideas.

However we have some sobering news to report. Today, Independence Day in the USA no less - our registrar has suspended our Top Level Domains and shut down both sites. Having failed to explain their reasoning we are left to assume that it was our content they didn't like, and so both HackerLeaks and LocalLeaks have been effectively silenced - censored - and shut down.

ImageThe company responsible is located at www.dot.tk and we encourage all free speech and free information advocates to contact this company and let them know exactly how you feel about censorship. We are seeking legal assistance to help us, and if you're a lawyer and can volunteer your time please contact us at PLF@cyber rights.net

We are in process of registering new Top Level Domains for HackerLeaks and LocalLeaks. The sites and the platforms themselves are fine, and anyway we have back-up copies of both sites as well as mirror servers. Both of these important offerings will be back online within 48 hours and this will not stop our project. This censorship has cost nothing other than it has prevented the world from seeing our disclosures and the people from having a safe place to disclose, and that for only a short time. We will return shortly, expect us.
