LulzSec claims FBI affiliate hacked
Found on Boinboing on Friday, 03 June 2011
The data posted online includes the personal info for 180 users at Infragard, which is a private-public partnership between the FBI and U.S. businesses "designed to protect IT systems from hacker attacks and other intrusions."
Though encrypted, the Infragard passwords were also cracked. Of their wide reuse for personal email and other online services, LulzSec adds: "they should be considered imbeciles from this moment until their moment of death."
Behind the public faces of the governments, things are dirty and an endless orgy of "he said, she said" accusations. If this project continues, some of the information and rumours will be so unbelievable and far-fetched that nobody would believe them; but at the same time, at least some parts are true.
