Anonymous Dumps Australian Telco Data Online

lukehopewell1 writes "After the threats, admissions and delays, hacktivists protesting a data retention scheme proposed by the Australian Government's National Security Inquiry have begun dumping data gleaned from an Australian telco — presumably AAPT. Anonymous is in the process of dumping government and business customer data onto Pastebin for the world to see under the guise of Operation Australia. This episode is far from over, however. We're likely to see more data trickle out over the coming days, considering that the group has promised 40GB worth of leaks."

Korea had something similar - a requirement for government issued citizen-id numbers before one could post a message on any large website.

That didn't work out so well, not because of activists, but because of actual criminals.
