70 Law Enforcement Sites Hacked

from JoeUser Forums

Well, they’re still at it…

“The group known as Anonymous said Saturday it has hacked into some 70 law enforcement websites across the southern and central United States in retaliation for arrests of its sympathizers in the U.S. and Britain.

The hacking group also claimed to have stolen 10 gigabytes of data, including emails, credit card details, and other information from local law enforcement bodies.

"We are releasing a massive amount of confidential information that is sure to (embarrass), discredit and incriminate police officers across the US," the group said in a statement, adding that it hoped the leak would "demonstrate the inherently corrupt nature of law enforcement using their own words" and "disrupt and sabotage their ability to communicate and terrorize communities."

Anonymous' claims couldn't all be immediately verified, but a review of the sites it claims to have targeted — mainly sheriffs' offices in places such as Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, and Mississippi — showed that most were unavailable or had been wiped clean of content.” (AP)- MSNBC

Apparently it’s not so easy to catch these birds.

I wonder… apart from childish, angry behavior and showing an ability to compromise some penny ante sites, do they think the pursuit of the hacker group is going to stop?

I believe it’s delusional to believe that pouring gasoline on fires extinguishes them.

Well, like George Bishop Berkeley (whose Empiricist philosophy you are paraphrasing) you could always find out empirically with a matrix of [-1]... lol... I was actually thinking more along the lines of Descartes and the question of how a true skeptic can be sure he exists (the genesis of "cogito ergo sum"). I've never heard of this Berkeley fellow before, but he sounds interesting. To Wikipedia!

Rene Descartes went into his favorite bar and the bar tender asked, "Would you like your usual drink, Monsieur Descartes?" 

Descartes replied, "I think not" and promptly disappeared.

Just anti-establishment idealists, exercising their assumed right to bear virtual arms.

If that's their aim, then they're idiots - Illegally obtained evidence is a 4th Amendment violation and cannot be used to incriminate anyone.

The fools never even learned that much about one of the greatest, poorly understood and misused documents ever written.

These hackers will not be sitting on the prosecution for the people in question. The actual prosecution will be obtaining data that is freely available. Note that data from cablegate was considered admissible in court.

There are corrupt people everywhere, they call them politicians, lawyers, stock speculators (oil prices), etc.  Human greed runs deep ... not one single human being on this planet is perfect.  If they do release this information, I am sure they will alter it to fit their agenda or not release "the whole story".

I seriously doubt that. If they were true Idealists, then they would not be hacking computer systems in the first place as it is an illegal activity, and illegal activities should go against their "ideals".  It makes them no better than anyone else that performs an illegal action.

Ah... but the "true believer" can rationalize anything he or she does since "The end justifies the means."

This has been the core of so many acts of savagery that it boggles the mind. The incredible ego which truly believes "I can win!" yet never does.

Not suggesting these guys are patriots...but then again...they could be if they went about things differently. :ninja:

That doesn't go against their ideals. It goes against your ideals, because your ideals don't align with theirs. They're populists, and they don't believe that moral right is defined by law.

No, they're actually right. Laws can most definitely be wrong. Does that give us a right to break them willy-nilly? No. But legal authority is far from omniscient.

Video taping police is becoming illegal in parts of the US and UK. So what happens when it is illegal to tape a cop beating a guy to death? Would that tape be inadmissible in court? Is that a moral law or just a law meant to protect well dressed thugs?

I can see why they would want to do this: it protects police from being identified specifically by friends of perps so that they don't have to worry about retribution. Doesn't mean it's a good law, though. The problem of court inadmissibility is huge. Would it not be simpler to buy cops some kind of cool-looking, face-concealing visor?

Sorry Doc, yes it  can.  As long as the law can show that the perpetrators were not in the employ or under the influence of any government agency, it can be used to nail crooks.  That is why blackmail is so successful.

As may be the case... but just as criminal. 

Assault is not the preferred method of resolving issues and is not politically correct... though it should be for bankers.

Anyhow, back to the law enforcement hacking!  I wonder if these blokes 'd kindly remove my records?

Apparently I still have 2 counts of public drunkenness, 1 count of public nudity [went skinny dipping in a Brisbane City fountain] and several counts of willful destruction of police property ...

Yeah, I apparently slashed a couple of coppers uniforms with my cutlass when they tried to arrest me for skinny dipping in the fountain while drunk.

So, I would like those records removed seeing as the coppers won't expunge them.

 

 

 

Besides, I can't see how they can call it public nudity... I was wearing an eye patch and me pirate hat. :w00t:

Nope, nothing is sacred anymore.  I'd blame Skinhit but I know that he holds to the highest standards when it comes to being a pirate, wearing eye patches and public nudity, so I'll blame Zubaz.

MSNBC (the reporting network of record here) is the laughing stock of all major news networks. 

I would easily believe that I (not a member of the actual hacking group Anonymous) could send MSNBC an email claiming to be a member and tell them that story, and they would run with it... just so they have something to talk about.  What a laugh to be had at their expense, ****ing morons.

C'mon really?  MSNBC has no credibility.
