Anonymous Compromises Alabama Government Site, Details of 4,000 Bankers Exposed

Anonymous-Hack
Anonymous hackers continue Operation Last Resort (OpLastResort). In the latest phase of the campaign, the hacktivists have leaked the details of more than 4,000 bank executives.

It’s interesting that the hackers haven’t used Pastebin or other similar websites to publish the data. Instead, they have hacked the website of the Alabama Criminal Justice Information Center (acjic.alabama.gov) and have posted the information in its “documents” folder under the name “oops-we-did-it-again.”

The file published by Anonymous contains names, titles, email addresses, physical addresses, fax numbers, mobile phone numbers, login IDs, IP addresses, password hashes, and other details. The information appears to belong to presidents, vice presidents, managing officers, CEOs, SVPs, and others.

ZDNet has analyzed the list of names and has learned that most of them show up as current employees on the banks’ websites.

Reddit users have also studied the leaked information.

“OK, I called a few of them. What must be so problematic for the Federal Reserve is not the information so much as this file was stolen from their computers at all. The ramifications of that kind of loss of control is severe,” one user noted.

Others, on the other hand, don’t agree with Anonymous.

“#OpLastResort has shown up out of nowhere to leak the have personal information of a lot of innocent people and should not be regarded as part of 'Anonymous'. There is no reason for what they did and they didn't even attempt to justify or even give meaning to their actions. They are simply destructive,” another user argued.

Operation Last Resort, a campaign that comes in response to the suicide of Aaron Swartz, was initiated around one week ago with a hack which targeted the United States Sentencing Commission (USSC).

Lithuanian Online Game Site Miestukarai Hacked, 24,000 Users Data Leaked

A hacker called AnonVoldemort claims to have gained access to the databases of Miestukarai.lt, a Lithuanian online game that appears to have almost 35,000 players.

In the tweet announcing the hack, AnonVoldemort revealed that he had leaked over 24,000 accounts, both free and premium.

The data has been removed since from Pastebin. It’s possible that the site’s administrators have learned of the leak and have requested Pastebin to remove the information.

However, according to CWN – who had analyzed the leak before it was removed –, usernames, email addresses, IP addresses and hashed passwords were published by the hacker.

If there are any Miestukarai players reading this, I advise them to immediately change their passwords. Not only the ones protecting their game accounts, but all the passwords that are the same with the one leaked by the hacker.

Hackers Steals 36,000 Individual Details from US Army Database

Earlier this month, unknown hackers managed to gain illegal access to the details of around 36,000 individuals who were somehow connected to the US Army command center formerly located at Fort Monmouth.

According to APP, the details of Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM) and Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) personnel were accessed by the hackers.

Nongovernmental personnel and Fort Monmouth visitors are also affected by the breach.

The hack, discovered on December 6, exposed names, dates of birth, social security numbers and salaries, Army representatives said. After the incident, the targeted databases have been taken offline.

CECOM and C4ISR were relocated from Fort Monmouth to Aberdeen Proving Ground back in September 2011.

The affected individuals are being offered one year of free credit monitoring services.
