8GB of Data Stolen From Italian Cybercrime Unit
Orome1 writes "Evidence servers of the Italian National Anti-Cybercrime Center for the Protection of Critical Infrastructure (CNAIPIC) have been breached and some of their contents published by a group of hackers calling themselves 'Legion of Anonymous Doom,' who apparently got on board the AntiSec campaign. The group has made clear that its sitting on around eight GB of stolen data and that it plans to release it all."
Well... The Italians do have a lot of experience with 'protecting' critical infrastructure. It'd be a pity if it caught fire, after all...
8GB of Data Stolen sounds like a USB flash drive was stolen
Was it actually stolen, as in it no longer exists on CNAIPIC's computers, or was it simply copied?
This space unintentionally left blank.
strange that manifestos and data dumps from pastebin have become normal news http://pastebin.com/r21cExeP
This corrupted organization gathered all the evidence from the seized property of suspected computer professional entertainers and utilized it over many years to conduct illegal operations with foreign intelligence agencies and oligarchy to facilitate their lust for power and money, they never used obtained evidence to really support ongoing investigations.
Also, it's nice to see that CNAIPIC subscribes to the "big useless video wall" school of command center design. (there are also diagrams of their network architecture in that album)
Governments are going to have to get used to operating under a bright light as these hacks and leaks keep happening.
There's just so much sensitive information, accessible to huge numbers of people, and scattered across so many poorly secured systems.

o0t!
That can, and sometimes does, work with the 'bored kids poking stuff because they can' flavor of hackers; but is not obviously a winning strategy with more ideologically motivated ones:
If somebody has nothing against you personally, a comparatively small amount of money, some positive social feedback, and the chance to not get sodomized in prison, can often turn them into a useful and productive security researcher.
If somebody does have something against you personally, taking them onboard just means that you can be more or less certain that you have an insider threat, rather than it merely being a possibility, as before.
In our time, the only ones not informed about their governments' doings are the citizens. this means, us. all the supposed enemies have capabilities to acquire information that is supposedly 'secret'. only, we, 'the people' dont.
its high time we started to learn what is being done with our taxes.

Pre-release announcements are *getting old*. Please save it for when you have something that's going to be really earthshaking. The Pope rape tapes. Oswald's gunsight cam. The Illuminati's member list. Proof that not only does God exist, but he's being detained in Gitmo.
Y'know, shit that could start a war.
For anything else, please just post the torrent already, okay?
Who cares about governments? Corporations write the fkn laws.
Uhm, you know I actually read that link... it
1. Doesn't say anything about installing the software on "every PC", just every PC for that person accused of a crime.
2. Was withdrawn, and replaced with a command not to use computers until the trial is complete.
It would hardly help against anonymous people, since you wouldn't know which computers to install it on beforehand.
It's Italy, what can you expect? A country that had a prime minister - Andreotti - who turned out to be a mobster? A country where the current prime minister owns all TV stations?
no, I don't have a sig
This lasts longer - they get the attention due to the threat, and due to the actual release.

...I wonder if there's a Hall of Anonymous Justice.
Power without accountability is a terrible thing. Police for instance has power, so they must be accountable. But voters also have great power... but how are they held accountable? How are the voters for Berlusconi held to account for their actions?
That is why democracy is flawed. In a dictatorship you only need one responsible person. In a democracy you need millions.
MMO Quests are like orgasms:
You may solo them, I prefer them in a group.
Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that these hacker/cracker groups always seem to be very forthcoming with claims for their achievements, claiming the material is to be released "soon", but never seem to actually come up with the goods. I don't get why they seem to believe we should all be impressed by their jerking off in public...
Or arm up and start a revolution. Egypt has won democracy this way.
Anarchy IS democracy and the preferred political system for lulzsec, anonymous, Kevin Mitnick and alike. Death to the Jew World Order masqueraded as law and order.
