Anonymous Defaces Panda Security Site
An anonymous reader writes "Surviving members of anonymous and/or lulzsec have hacked Panda Security's systems and defaced their site. Looks like revenge is coming back."
El Reg has screenshots of the defacement. Panda Security says the intruders only managed to exploit the web server and did not compromise their internal networks.
The FBI had Sabu, but they only had Sabu because he was being too much of a moralfag and caught the ire of other Anon's who dox'd him (before he was a mole, before he was arrested, before he was even being monitored), they were only able to dox him because GoDaddy slipped up and put his real name on a domain's public whois instead of his proxy service. He had said he owned that domain in IRC, and because of this they were able to link up the connections. When the anti-moralfags went around doxing everybody well before this all went really public (even though they had a lot of false positives) they generated leads for the feds. And at least one of those leads panned out.
Even though Sabu was already suspected of being in cahoots with the feds by others, he was still able to gain trust in his own circle. Mostly because those accusations fly around loosely in groups like those anyways.
Morals of the story:
Anon will eat each other if given the chance. Every. Single. Fucking. Time. For the lulz.
The feds are always in it in the long tail, they may not be skilled, but they: 1) Pay attention. 2) Are patient. 3) Can do an IRL Show of Force anywhere in the US for any reason.
You might be able to control your fuckups, the fuckups of everybody else, however, can still lead to your downfall.
Anon should stay Anon. When you start taking credit for things because you want rep, you'll get rep, and if its big enough, most likely it'll leak into IRL, for better or worse.
Do it for the shit head activists or do it for the lulz, just don't do it for the rep.
Known unknowns are still in it for their own rep.
Be an unknown unknown.
