After hacking up government websites last week, and the week before, Anonymous has pulled off another hack to push their agenda of reforming computer crime law in the wake of Aaron Swartz’s suicide. This time, they’ve leaked names, addresses, and other information about over 4,000 bank executives. And they did it all on a US government site.
The leak — which is still posted on the official Alabama Criminal Justice Information Center website as of this writing — is another another arm of Operation Last Resort. Until now the project has involved plenty of threats but no actual leaks. The leaked info includes titles, addresses, phone numbers, emails, ID numbers, and hashed passwords of the affected bank executives, and while that may seem sort of tangentially related to computer crime reform, that’s how Anonymous has been spinning it.
So far there’s been no official response to the leak from the parties affected, but there’s little reason to believe that all that information is fabricated. Anonymous has been on a pretty successful run of defacing government websites, and it looks like it isn’t going to end any time soon. Sure, this hack isn’t quite as happy-go-lucky as their last, but it’s definitely a pretty serious accomplishment. And you can bet this isn’t the end of it. [ZDNet]

Bleeding Anonymous, they’re just getting boring now. All 4,000 of these execs aren’t going to be corrupted, now they’re just hurting the little men to get their point across.
If they still cared, they’d be keeping it against the companies themselves, not the people within them.
The people ARE the companies. They can’t hurt the big men, nobody can. The fact that fraud in the banking sector has INCREASED over the last couple of years shows how powerless we are. The big men are in power because of the many, many power hungry little men. I say hurt them all, send them to the meat grinder.
But all 4,000 men aren’t big men, there’s no way for Anonymous to prove that. Even if there’s only 1 good man in that bunch, that’s still enough to not justify this.
So, in your eyes, the 3,999 others are completely fine? They get off completely free as if it never happened?
Prove to me, that the 3,999 deserved it? Innocent until proven guilty. Anonymous go against this.
“companies themselves”
Companies are people, they aren’t even entities, they are just a group of people.
Actually, with regards to the law, they’re entities, and NOT people.
Ok remove all the people from the company and see how well it runs its self.
Not my point. Well done for missing it.
Well I think the drink driving laws need to be reformed, so tomorrow I plan to drink at least a litre of vodka with some whisky chasers then go for a drive. Hopefully our politicians and judges will see what I’ve done an ease off on the punishments given to those who drink and drive. It works for anonymous and their crusades doesn’t it? No, wait… turns out it doesn’t.
I used to work in finance, 95% of people there were money obsessed consumer drones. Most of them were so thick they couldn’t possibly make that much money anywhere else. Which was then mostly spent on flash things, like Gucci bags, flash cars and whatever else to compete with the Jones’.
Most importantly, anyone protesting against the current system was a loon to them.
So yes, they should see the light, and yes, there are other jobs.
