Posted by timothy on from the injectification-nation dept.

Udo Schmitz writes "Heise's UK site has the English translation of an article from the latest issue of their magazine c't about Anonymous's HBGary hack. It shows that there was much more involved than just social engineering to get passwords, and how anonymous evolved following OpTunisia and OpEgypt."

    We can all be anonymous. It helps to really know what you're doing, it helps to have no "skeletons" in the closet, it helps to have some passion about what's happening in the world and to want to do something about it. Who's in control? Does that matter? We all can be anonymous.

    Don't bother reading this article, it's horribly written and not particularly correct. They make it sound like HBGary Federal was some giant security company when in reality is was a small-time 4 person company. Oh my god you broke into a 4 person company's email and the idiot manager's twitter account!

    So tired of seeing this "hack" replayed on Slashdot.

      Greg Hoglund is quite a major figure, after his work on rootkit.com and lectures at Blackhat Briefings.
