[QUOTE][B]Hacker collective Team GhostShell, which has recently specialized in massive data leaks, has done it again and made public 1.6 million account details allegedly stolen from over 30 websites.[/B] The targets do business in fields such as [B]aerospace, banking, law, nanotechnology, education, government and the military. [/B]Many are well known globally such as [B]NASA and the (relatively recently compromised) European Space Agency[/B], while others are more familiar to people working in the specific industries (World Airport Transfers, Crestwood Technology Group, Texas Bankers, Hamamatsu, the Global Business Network, and more). [B]The leaked documents contain tons of diverse data: user and administrator account information (names, usernames, email addresses, passwords, phone numbers), mailing lists, defense materials, and more.[/B] The group claims that this "Project White Fox" will be the last massive leak coming from them this year, then turned the readers' attention towards the World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT-12) currently under way in Dubai and Anonymous' "Operation WCIT."[/QUOTE] [URL="http://www.net-security.org/secworld.php?id=14090"]source[/URL] [QUOTE][B]Log-in details from 1.6 million accounts have been posted on the web by hacktivist group Ghost Shell. The group gathered the data during a series of attacks on Nasa, the FBI, the European Space Agency and many other government agencies and contractors.[/B] Included in the dump were log-in names, passwords, email addresses and CVs, plus the contents of online databases. The group said it had sent messages to security bosses about 150 insecure servers it had targeted in the attacks. [B]In a statement posted to the Pastebin website, Ghost Shell said the attacks were part of its #ProjectWhiteFox campaign to promote freedom of information online.[/B] [B]The data stolen was posted on several different sites to stop it being swiftly found and deleted.[/B] Images posted to the Pastebin page suggest the hacking group accessed some sites by attacking the databases many companies use to catalogue and curate website content. With cleverly crafted queries, attackers can make these databases cough up data they should be concealing. As well as mounting attacks on government agencies, the group also targeted contractors and firms working for the US Department of Defense. In all, 37 separate organisations, agencies and businesses were hit during the campaign. The group, which is an offshoot of the Anonymous hacking collective, has carried out a series of attacks in 2012. Details from millions of accounts held at businesses, universities and Russian government departments and companies have all been posted by the group. [B]It said #ProjectWhiteFox was the last operation it would carry out in 2012[/B].[/QUOTE] [URL="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-20677851"]source[/URL]
Why
chernarus why are you doing this
I'm all for freedom of information, but freedom to know every fucking private detail of everybody else online is a bit too much, and giving away login and personal information isn't really supporting online freedom, its just being a fucking dick.

Though still a bad way do to it.
[QUOTE='[Green];38788366']chernarus why are you doing this[/QUOTE] I don't think NASA or ESA's engineers did anything wrong. But thats just me.
Another lulzsec?
[QUOTE='[Green];38788366']chernarus why are you doing this[/QUOTE] He was unsuccessful at BF3 thread a few minutes ago.
That'll show them!
[QUOTE=JgcxCub;38788354]Why[/QUOTE] I was about to post exactly this. I can ALMOST understand stealing such info as a form of revenge for some wrongdoing but these people are innocent, it's so pointless!
to 'team l33t w33d cr3w 420' and other hacking groups, please stop trying to hack people's personal details and use the excuse of freedom of information. thinly veiling your selfishness with an actual, moral cause is the worst thing you can do for any cause.

Watch as the FBI catches them one by one, just like lulzsec

Combat greater government involvement in web affairs by conducting attacks that motivate the government to get involved in web affairs. [QUOTE=Jetblack357;38789523] [IMG]http://puu.sh/1zMqr[/IMG][/QUOTE] Cupcakes are delicious BTW.
what is this supposed to accomplish apart from getting a lot of people's account's in trouble?
What a bunch of fucking idiots. Hiding behind "make teh webz free 4 all" is a pathetic excuse.
Yeah, let's hack groups like NASA, because, you know, that's what the good guys do. These places should be protecting their data better, but honestly I hope the FBI crushes Team Ghost Shell. Edit: Kinda reminds me of Handsome Jack's insistence that he's the good guy.
Now that's just the biggest dick move I've seen in a while.
why would you do that to nasa of all people all they want to do is explore space goddamn i don't think they care who the president is as long as they get money to fund projects. it could be a fucking monkey in a business suit running the country and they'd care more about researching mars. i dont know much about the European space agency but I'll assume they are pretty chill.
guys I have an idea let's stop the world from progressing in a positive direction and possibly ruin the jobs and careers of hundreds of people
Wow. What fucking dicks. You don't fuck with NASA, they already have enough issues :(
I wana see Obama's e-mail account next.
I want to see THEIR personal info, followed by their mugshots.
[QUOTE=Snord;38788383]Another lulzsec?[/QUOTE] No, Ghost Shell has been around for a while, and normally doesn't do this shit. They must have good reasons for this.
Can I get a list of exactly what sites are compromised here? [editline]11th December 2012[/editline] I've got NASA, European Space Agency and that's it so far
