GhostShell Hackers Release Data From Exploiting NASA, FBI, ESA
An anonymous reader writes "The Register is reporting that the hacking collective GhostShell has announced it has [dumped] around 1.6 million account details purloined from government, military, and industry. The [hacking] group said in a statement: 'we have prepared a juicy release of 1.6 million accounts/records from fields such as aerospace, nanotechnology, banking, law, education, government, military, all kinds of wacky companies & corporations working for the department of defense, airlines and more.'"
Or is slashdot still broken?
I'm confused about what their motive is... Is it to endanger American citizens? Reveal military tactics and endanger soldier's lives? Is it to further corrupt a country that is hanging by a thread? I see no purpose to these hacks other than to gloat around anonymously and/or to endanger people.
Can't I just look up their emails on their web page or their business card? *lookspuzzled*

what are those letters/numbers after every sentence?
Yeah, they have the password for the usernames of their website. You know, the one that has only public information. Wow, I'm so impressed. In other news, government and private-sector agencies use passwords to prevent people from randomly updating their public websites, which contain no sensitive or terribly interesting information. It's like saying I hacked the whitehouse because I was able to get into the e-mail account of one of the assistant junior staffer's intern's. woo, look at me! :\
Also, Protip: Don't embarass one of the few agencies in the world with the resources and inclination to track you down (ie, the NSA). They basically built a whole second internet to track all the traffic on the first internet, and then built a giant super data warehouse to warehouse all the other warehouses. Not exactly the kind of people who's cheerios you want to piss in.

My -1 Troll is actually a +1 funny. And my -1 flame is actually a +1 insightfull.
I'm sure this will really encourage governments to keep the internet open.

Are they even a real site? No, really.
Just by quickly looking at what's on their site I can't tell if they want to be taken seriously or not.

If you are going to hack an agency that "will" find you (it may take some time but they will) then you deserve what you get for blurting it out to the world. Yes, computer networks have holes and exploits. Yes, even the most "secure" can be gotten into some way, some how, but throwing it in the face of a semi-secret organization that can make you disappear is just foolish.

sql injection attacks is not hacking....pathetic.
If even them are not protected enough, how can we trust them with our own security?
.... watching your posts on slashdot for clues and tips....
I think it's going to be funny when these whiny beaches get frog marched to the long term wing of the CH hotel.
This is nothing more then Gov phishing attempt. I spent about 4 hours and went through most of the data, spotted few people I know, they have never had accounts on servers as those dumps claimed, I told them their “passwords” they had no clue what I was talking about, there was no wow how did you know! Reaction. Tried about 5000 user/password attempts none of them worked. Text strings from most of the Nasa/gov/contractors are public, you can google them. This whole crap of data looks like giant text scraping in attempt to generate legitimate looking “hacked” data. This was posted yesterday today noting works: http://pastebin.com/RdC0LZqW And those “super hackers” xl3gi0n have even they own facebook page please who buys this?? Another one post same dump GrenXparta_Hacker Just an example Todays dump http://pastebin.com/RdC0LZqW has following hash: MGHkLGt3ZQExBGZ2ZGt2MwD2ZmZ5LGSvZ2H5A2H0LzR= Quick search for this hash shows it showed up Sep 12 2012 on some Russian page: http://forum.insidepro.com/viewtopic.php?t=17101&sid=962d5d41e1b8225c223283ab91908b66 Some guy asks in Russian security forum what that hash is and someone says that it looks like SHA-256, but it misses / + so it is not. Or search for this: AGL2ZmEuL2HmAJL1AmVmMwVkLJRkAGL5BGtkZ2EyZTL= Every single one of those hashes is searchable on the net, most of them (from today) are from http://www.itpints.com/?sources%5B%5D=Twitter&q=Alexis%20Wright What is this? Real time search engine that generates hashes the same as in “leaked” docs claiming to be passwords? It screams FAKE. There is probably quite a few hashes\hot spots included that government is monitoring and checks who searches for what, also they will phish all the idiots that will share their work related data with “anonymous” install pin point them malware on their PC and monitor them further. At list what I would do :)
It's "reap what you sow." If you're going for trite, you might as well learn how to fucking spell.
I guess this could also just be the chinese under mask, trying to expose the ongoings to seed more mistrust and win at the cyber war they are wagering...
Please replace chinese with your favorite cyber-advanced anti-US country....
Still makes sense. The full collective creed is 'The only reason for doing anything is for teh lulz.'
In other words: after your bare necessities are provided for, all that is left is power for power's sake.
Like i have the time to read through 1.6 million personal accounts. Just like i didn't have the time to look at all the personal images stolen from Facebook a while back. Get a life and do something that doesn't screw up innocents life's.
Jack of all trades,master of none
I'll give you an example of why they do it, since it's beyond your comprehension. You know, I only visit slashdot maybe once or twice a week now, and maybe read 1 or 2 articles when I do.. but for some odd reason your dumb ass always pops up in my face with a +5 mod rating. your stupid opinion is heard everytime while others who are much more important, thoughtful, insightful, and informative sit in the shadows un modded and unheard. The only thing is, one of the unheard's actions speak louder than any words you could ever conjure up to insinuate humanity better answer to some perceived godly authority - or else. This will never make sense to you, because you are brainwashed, and don't even know it.
Furthermore, do you think if someone had actual NSA top secret and above top secret access they would provide it publicly to your dumbass or anyone for that matter? Do you think those who could hypothetically hold that information would want you to be personally enlightened at all? Because of your cunt attitude, an those like you, most of them would probably rather you eat cheerios with frosty piss in them.
Leaking scandalous documents and cables is one thing, but this is stupid.
I use the word sheeple, but it's not because I lack empathy nor am I unable to think critically. I use the term to describe those who refuse to think for themselves.
Aha! So you are the one who invented the term sheeple!!!!
Well either that, or you ... you know ... refuse to think for yourself.
This fake info was posted by a government shill. The point of the post is no different than Operation Fast & Furious--find those behind the lines.
