Hackers Dump Millions of Records From Banks, Politicians

hypnosec writes "TeamGhostShell, a team linked with the infamous group Anonymous, is claiming that they have hacked some major U.S. institutions, including major banking institutions and accounts of politicians, and has posted those details online. The dumps, comprised of millions of accounts, have been let loose on the web by the hacking collective. The motivation behind the hack, the group claims, is to protest against banks, politicians and the hackers who have been captured by law enforcement agencies."

    "Wake up people, we live in a corporate run society, we are losing freedom in the false name of capitalism, we are losing our humanity to money." [emphasis added]

    At least you do say "false". But I would prefer that you leave "capitalism" out of it. The people that are doing aren't calling it "capitalism", and at least in that sense they are more correct than their detractors.

    Capitalism has nothing to do with this. Greed, corruption, monopol, and cronyism are not part of capitalism. Not even close. In fact, real capitalism cannot exist in an atmosphere that is so rife with these things.
