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."

"Hate to say it, but the only option left is to anonymously present the details as spectacularly as possible to the world. Once the bank gets hammered by thieves exploiting the hold, they will finally be forced to address the issue. Its better for the bank to be publicly humiliated, or a hundred honest customers get (temporarily) financially hammered, than to have a professional criminal stealing from the bank as quietly as possible."

I agree. This is the point I have been trying to make.
