Hacker YamaTough has published Symantec’s pcAnywhere’s source code. This program is used by users and companies to access personal computers remotely. The publication follows a $US50,000 extortion attempt that was made public last night.
Hackers with ties to the AntiSec movement released 10 gigs of sensitive data last night from more than 50 police departments across the US. This is their brazen show of solidarity with Anonymous’ cause and retribution against an oppressive police system.
The Guardian has the lowdown on how LulzSec’s primetime hack of the UK Sun went down. It happened in two phases: one was discovering an exploit in the “contact us” section. The other was the discovery of a retired server.
The fruits of today’s The Sun hack are starting to dangle down: LulzSec (out of retirement?) and Anon are tweeting logins of some serious British media brass. Foremost? Rebekah Brooks, the epicentre of England’s voicemail hacking scandal. Update: phone numbers!
Anonymous has just dumped files today about IRC Federal, a government-contracted IT firm, in honour of their #FuckFBIFriday ‘holiday’. They’ve gotten access to contracts, internal documents, development schematics, logins and more.
