Israeli military, intelligence sites down after ‘Anonymous’ threat


Maan News Agency | Nov 6, 2011

BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) — The Israeli army and intelligence agencies’ websites were offline on Sunday, two days after hacker group Anonymous warned it would “strike back” for Israel’s capture of Gaza-bound ships on Friday.

Anonymous, a network of online activists who have attacked government and financial websites around the world, released a statement Friday warning that the group would take action against the navy’s seizure of two ships aiming to break Israel’s blockade on the Gaza Strip.

“Your actions are illegal, against democracy, human rights, international, and maritime laws,” the statement addressed to the government of Israel and posted on Youtube and Anonymous-affiliated sites said.

“Justifying war, murder, illegal interception, and pirate-like activities under an illegal cover of defense will not go unnoticed by us or the people of the world.”

Websites for Israel’s army, internal Shin Bet security service, and Mossad spy agency could not be accessed on Sunday. It could not be confirmed that Anonymous was responsible.

An Israeli army spokesman said it was a “strange coincidence” but he could not confirm that hacking was responsible.

“Initial investigations conducted by the internet company indicate problem with the internet servers,” a military spokeswoman added. She said they did not know whether it came as a result of a hack.

In its statement Anonymous slammed Israel’s deadly raid on a flotilla heading to Gaza last year, which killed nine Turkish nationals.

“If you continue blocking humanitarian vessels to Gaza or repeat the dreadful actions of May 31st, 2010 against any Gaza Freedom Flotillas then you will leave us no choice but to strike back. Again and again, until you stop,” the statement said.

quote:

'We moeten vechten voor democratisering van Cyberspace'

De regels die gelden in cyberspace moeten niet bepaald worden door bedrijven en autoriteiten alleen. Ook burgers en maatschappelijke groepen moeten zich mengen in de vormgeving en regulering van 'het nieuwe Wilde Westen'. Daarvoor pleit docent Albert Meijer.

Cyberspace wordt steeds meer voorgesteld als een gevaarlijke ruimte: 'het nieuwe Wilde Westen' waar bendes van hackers een wedstrijd doen wie de meest gerenommeerde site kan platleggen en steeds meer computers worden gegijzeld door illegale netwerken. Het beeld dat uit deze berichten naar voren komt is dat cyberspace een wereld van anarchie is en dat het noodzakelijk is dat via technische en juridische maatregelen en acties van de politie de veiligheid van deze virtuele ruimte wordt vergroot. Meer veiligheid, dat wil iedereen. Maar hoe wordt de veiligheid van dit nieuwe Wilde Westen bepaald? Wie stelt de regels in cyberspace vast? En hebben burgers hier invloed op?

De democratisering van cyberspace is een onderwerp dat te weinig aandacht krijgt. Dat zal ik laten zien aan de hand van een voorbeeld dat ver afligt van de hackers en criminele netwerken. Ook gaat dit voorbeeld niet om de harde strijd om copyright zoals deze wordt uitgevochten tussen de muziek- en filmindustrie en peer-to-peer netwerken zoals Bittorrent en Gnutella. En ook ligt het accent niet op het gebruik van gegevens van burgers door inlichtingen- en veiligheidsdiensten. Juist aan de hand van dit schijnbaar onschuldige voorbeeld wil ik laten zien hoe sociale regels in Cyberspace worden bepaald.

Kleine dwerg
Jonge mensen brengen steeds meer tijd door in virtuele werelden zoals World of Warcraft. Daar worden nieuwe identiteiten ontwikkeld. Een kennis van mijn vrouw, een vrouw van in de 20, voelt zich eigenlijk meer een kleine dwerg met een grote knots. En het grootste deel van de dag is ze ook een dwerg met een grote knots. Waar traditionele spellen zoals Ganzenbord en Monopoly een helder doel hadden, zijn de virtuele werelden eerder leefomgevingen waar mensen een nieuwe identiteit ontwikkelen en een groot deel van hun tijd doorbrengen.

In de werelden van World of Warcraft gelden regels. Deze regels zijn door Blizzard Entertainment, de ontwikkelaar van World of Warcraft, vastgelegd in officieel beleid. Spelers kunnen bijvoorbeeld worden uitgesloten als ze bepaalde illegale software op hun computer hebben staan. Daarnaast gelden er ook regels voor het gedrag in deze virtuele ruimte. Sommige regels komen redelijk over. Spelers mogen anderen bijvoorbeeld niet beledigen of lastig vallen. Geen racistische taal. Andere regels zijn wel erg strikt. Spelers mogen geen dialoog starten die niet past binnen het spel. Expliciet staat er dat een speler een waarschuwing kan krijgen wanneer hij vraagt of iemand een bepaalde nieuwe film heeft gezien of verteld dat hij een nieuwe auto heeft gekocht.

Spelers die zich hier niet aan houden kunnen een waarschuwing krijgen en uiteindelijk zelfs toegang tot het spel ontzegd worden. Binnen World of Warcraft bestaat er een eigen politie: de Game Masters. Als je daar niet naar luistert worden er sancties opgelegd. Op Internet staan talloze verhalen van gebruikers die om onduidelijke redenen uit World of Warcraft zijn verbannen.

Belangen
Dit voorbeeld laat zien dat voor virtuele interacties regels gelden en dat deze zijn geformuleerd door bedrijven. Dat wil niet zeggen dat deze regels immoreel zijn. In virtuele omgevingen kan bijvoorbeeld moord of verkrachting onmogelijk worden gemaakt. De grote vraag hier is echter wát geldt als ongewenst gedrag. Wanneer worden sociale normen overtreden? Homoseksuele seks en abortus kunnen in cyberspace onmogelijk worden gemaakt. Bij het vaststellen van regels moeten keuzen worden gemaakt tussen wenselijk en onwenselijk gedrag. Deze keuzen worden in cyberspace veelal niet gemaakt op basis van democratische besluitvorming maar op grond van commerciële belangen.

Nu zou u kunnen zeggen dat wij als consumenten toch kunnen stemmen met onze voeten. Bewust consumeren is een strategie die toch veel meer past bij deze tijd dan ouderwets activisme? We hoeven geen World of Warcraft te spelen. Dat is correct maar dit argument miskent het infrastructurele en totale karakter van deze omgevingen. Welke jongere kan het zich veroorloven om niet deel te nemen aan de spellen die al zijn vrienden doen? Wij raken steeds afhankelijker van de virtuele omgevingen die door bedrijven worden gebouwd. Stemmen met de voeten is steeds minder een optie.

Om deze commerciële orde te democratiseren pleit ik voor meer betrokkenheid van civil society - diverse maatschappelijke groepen en ook individuele burgers - bij de vormgeving en regulering van cyberspace. De open source beweging op internet kan hierbij als inspiratie gelden. Principes van copyright, patentrecht en bedrijfsgeheim kunnen worden vervangen door copyleft en open source. Via open debat ontstaat overeenstemming over regels en komen er checks & balances voor de toepassing ervan. Er mogen best regels gelden voor World of Warcraft maar deze regels mogen niet eenzijdig worden opgelegd. We moeten vechten voor een strong democracy in cyberspace.

#Anonymous Targets Capital One, Wal-Mart, Viral Video Judge William Adams, and More

“It was a busy weekend for the shadowy collective of Internet hackers and activists that calls itself Anonymous, with claims by the group to have launched attacks that took down the Web pages of both government- and private sector Web sites as well as public- and Internet personalities, including Judge William Adams, the subject of a viral video that shows him reportedly beating his daughter with a belt. Factions of the group claimed responsibility for distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks that took down the Capital One website and a number of El Salvadorian government websites. The group also claimed responsibility for a hack of the website of Finland’s far-right Kansallinen Vastarinta (the National Resistance) party that spilled data on the group’s membership. The latest attacks come after a weekend that also saw Israeli military and intelligence Web sites take off line after threats from Anonymous as Threatpost reported.

As evidence of their deeds, the hacker-collective published a couple of announcements on the file-sharing site, Pastebin. The first boasts the DDoS attack that eventually brought down the Capital One site, and includes links to personal information (or “dox”) on a number of prominent business and government officials, including Warren Buffett, David Koch, former SEC Commissioner William Donaldson, and the now infamous Judge William Adams, who became an online sensation after a video of him beating his daughter was published on YouTube.

The post also includes links to allegedly damning material about Wal-Mart, Oakland Police, and other organizations. The second announcement, from Anonymous Finland, contains links to what they claim is a publication of Kansallinene Vastarinta’s membership application database. The group’s perception is that right-wing extremism is proliferating in Europe and they are evidently upset about it – at least such was the reason given for the attack. You can find that Pastebin release here.

The attacks, as indicated in one of the Pastebin releases, may have been in celebration of Anonymous’ favorite holiday, Guy Fawkes Day, which remembers the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 - an attempt to assassinate King James I. Fawkes likeness can now be seen on masks worn by Anonymous members.”~Threatpost

Data leak – Anonymous hackers disown claim of responsibility made in their name

Police server unexpectedly crashes as tens of thousands check to see if their data was leaked

A message from the “Anonymous” hacker movement has disowned a previous claim of responsibility made on behalf of Anonymous Finland that it was behind the recent leak of personal data of 16,000 people in Finland.
“We have no opinions about Finnish politicians. We have not broken into any Finnish websites”, says a writer using the name “zeekill” in the most recent message.

Anonymous is a loosely-knit group of internet anarchists, and as the contradictory messages suggest, anybody can act on behalf of the group, which claims thousands of adherents around the world.
The group has no leaders, no formal organisation, and no specific ideology. The group is organised around online discussion channels, and those involved know each other only by their pseudonyms.

A message that came out earlier on Monday in the name of Anonymous Finland claimed responsibility for giving “outside support” to the hacking of Finnish databases, and posting the personal information of 16,000 people on line.
Earlier there had been a claim on behalf of the group that it had “successfully and easily” hacked into the website of the far-right Finnish Resistance Movement in late October, and published information about the group’s membership application database. The action caused a stir because one of the names on the list was that of a parliamentary aide of an MP of the opposition True Finns party.
The writers of the message voiced the view that officials and companies should secure the information that they have access to more effectively than they do now. They also declared opposition to groups based on ethnic, sexual, or religious discrimination.

The National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) is investigating the matter.
The website of the Finnish police crashed on Monday when 60,000 internet users visited the police website at the same time to read more about the data leak.
Police have published a list of first names and birthdates of people on the list and distributed it to media websites in order to allow the public to check if their names are on it (see link below).

Those whose names are on the list are advised to keep close scrutiny of their mail, e-mail, bank accounts, bills, and other transactions. If any irregularities are seen, a complaint to local police is recommended.
Police also warn against possible phishing scams in which internet users might be offered a chance to check if their name is on the list. Users should be especially wary about requests for passwords or bank account numbers, as such requests are most likely attempts at fraud.

Cyber weaknesses should deter US from waging war

Associated Press= WASHINGTON (AP) — America's critical computer networks are so vulnerable to attack that it should deter U.S. leaders from going to war with other nations, a former top U.S. cybersecurity official said Monday.

Richard Clarke, a top adviser to three presidents, joined a number of U.S. military and civilian experts in offering a dire assessment of America's cybersecurity at a conference, saying the country simply can't protect its critical networks.

Clarke said if he was advising the president he would warn against attacking other countries because so many of them — including China, North Korea, Iran and Russia — could retaliate by launching devastating cyberattacks that could destroy power grids, banking networks or transportation systems.

The U.S. military, he said, is entirely dependent on computer systems and could end up in a future conflict in which troops trot out onto a battlefield "and nothing works."

Clarke said a good national security adviser would tell the president that the U.S. might be able to blow up a nuclear plant somewhere, or a terrorist training center somewhere, but a number of countries could strike back with a cyberattack and "the entire us economic system could be crashed in retaliation ... because we can't defend it today."

"I really don't know to what extent the weapon systems that have been developed over the last 10 years have been penetrated, to what extent the chips are compromised, to what extent the code is compromised," Clarke said. "I can't assure you that as you go to war with a cybersecurity-conscious, cybersecurity-capable enemy that any of our stuff is going to work."

Clarke, along with Gen. Keith Alexander, who heads both the National Security Agency and U.S. Cyber Command, told the conference crowd that the U.S. needs to do a better job at eliminating network vulnerabilities and more aggressively seek out malware or viruses in American corporate, military and government systems.

But Clarke was more strident about pushing for broader government regulations to enforce such improvements, despite political reluctance. The problems, he said, will not be fixed unless the government gets more involved.

He added that the U.S. also needs to make it clear to countries such as China that efforts to use computer-based attacks to steal high-tech American data will be punished.

In a forceful and detailed public report last week. U.S. intelligence officials accused China and Russia of systematically stealing sensitive U.S. economic information and technologies for their own national economic gain.

The report called on the U.S. to confront China and Russia in a broad diplomatic push to combat cyberattacks that are on the rise and which represent a "persistent threat to U.S. economic security."

On Monday, Clarke said that until there are real consequences for the massive espionage, countries like China will still keep stealing.

Website Test behind the Great Firewall of China

Test any website in real-time to check if it is accessible from China. The Golden Shield Project (a.k.a. Great Firewall of China) is owned by the Government of China (MPS) and was started in 1998. The firewall system blocks website content by preventing IP addresses from being routed through and consists of standard firewall and proxy servers at the Internet gateways of China's ISPs. The banning of websites is mostly uncoordinated and ad-hoc, with some web sites being blocked from one city and the same web sites being allowed from other cities and vice versa.

Occupy Privacy: UmeNow Launches Anti-Tracking Campaign

New York, NY, November 08, 2011 (PR.com) UmeNow.com is on the offensive. It has launched a new campaign Occupy Privacy, spearheaded by the release of a video that depicts life under surveillance.

Occupy Privacy is about people taking back what belongs to them, says Evelyn Castillo-Bach, the outspoken privacy advocate, entrepreneur and founder UmeNow.com. We see a dangerous trend where companies track people without their consent. Its creepy. People reject governments that abuse surveillance powers to control citizens. The Occupy Privacy campaign is about people letting corporations know that they need to stop tracking without consent. Its unethical and undemocratic.

The Occupy Privacy campaign supports the position of Canadas Privacy Commissioner, Jennifer Stoddart: The true importance of privacy protection is that it underpins our democratic freedoms. It allows us to exercise these freedoms openly, without fear, mistrust or censorship. This is why caution is so critical, to avoid the possible erosion of our free, open society.

Occupy Privacy supports the efforts by the German Data Protection Authority to expose practices where social networks unlawfully track users. The campaign also support the efforts by the Data Protection Commissioner of Ireland to investigate companies accused of creating shadow profiles on people.

Occupy Privacy supports the public-interest groups in the United States that are urging the Federal Trade Commission to investigate if users of social networks are being tracked after they are logged off.

Occupy Privacy supports the efforts by individuals throughout the world who expose unauthorized tracking by companies.

People interested in supporting the Occupy Privacy campaign can write to: op@umenow.com.
