Anonymous Releases 90,000 Military E-mail Accounts – Leaves $310 Bill For Services
Hacking group Anonymous said Monday it infiltrated a server belonging to military consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton and that they have made available approximately 90,000 military email addresses online. The hack was the second in the past week to target major companies doing business with the federal government. Late last week, Anonymous shared databases and emails it said it obtained by hacking the website of IRC Federal, a company that contracts with federal government agencies, including the FBI and the U.S. Department of Defense, for information management services. It appears that Anonymous has a sense of humor though as they left Booz Allen Hamilton a bill for $310 for the four hours of work it took to hack their server!
“In this line of work, you’d expect them (to have a) state-of-the-art battleship, right? Well you may be as surprised as we were when we found their vessel being a puny wooden barge,” Anonymous said on The Pirate Bay file-sharing website. “We infiltrated a server on their network that basically had no security measures in place.”
