FBI Reports US Agencies Hacked By Anonymous
Rambo Tribble writes "Reuters is reporting that the FBI has issued a warning to several U.S. Government agencies that the Anonymous collective has hacked their systems. Included in the list of compromised agencies are the U.S. Army, Department of Energy, Department of Health and Human Services, and potentially many more agencies. The avenue of attack: Adobe Cold Fusion."
I thought the only people left in Anonymous were FBI informants.
who watches the watchers. it iz t3h 31337 h4x0rz t34m.
i pity the fool
Now double our budget so we can counter them. And yeah, pass some laws against these terrorists.
Fuck systemd. Fuck Redhat. Fuck Soylent, too. Wait, scratch the last one.
"An FBI Spokeswoman declined to elaborate"
I mean to say, what the hell happened? "Being hacked" isn't a real thing. You're missing stuff, or you see that stuff was accessed, or you found some new shit that shouldn't be there... Why aren't they telling us? Could it be because they left something wide open, and cannot legally admit to that?

Obligatory XKCD.

Okay, let's zero out your expected take from SS and Medicare when you are too old to fund yourself. And while we're at it, it would be okay if Grandma moved in with you, right? Her meds only run a few thou a month, but that's a small price for you to pay to be freed of the Fed. Gov. Let's remove NiH, because you will never get cancer, contract a food born illness, or get nailed by the next pandemic. You'll let the mentally ill live with you, 'cause they'll need a place to stay. They usually need meds too.
Let's also turn the world over to the Chinese because in 20 years, we'll be entirely self-sufficient and won't need any open trading partners. And while we're at it, lets get rid of NTSA and the FAA, you won't die in an airline accident because the airlines cut corners. Let's abolish the SEC, Wall Street and the Banks have your best interests at heart.
And let's get rid of that awful FBI, if your father gets whacked, you won't need no stinking investigation as to whom did it. Come to think of it, we won't have to worry about young kids getting kidnapped because there will be no federal agency to track them down. They shouldn't have gotten their asses kidnapped in the first place. We also don't need the federal prison system, them guys can kip at your house right...be sure to keep your gun loaded and by your bedside, they tend to sleepwalk a bit.
That's a lot more than we can say about Slashdot.
Follow the money. If that won't convince you then I posit that anyone foolish enough to use Adobe Vectorware is at least uninformed, and incompetent, if not fully complicit in the security fail.
They feared that it could be used to suppress protest or support unpopular rule.

You know that if you install it in the correct location, you can just use -ltard on the linkage line, rather than spelling it out like that, right?
A Justice department that claims it's getting hacked (to worrisome levels) by teenagers. A National Security Agency that spends hundreds of billions spying on the citizens it claims to be protecting while accomplishing nothing. A Defense Department whose specialty is fighting foreign wars badly, while shelling out trillions to contractors.
It's well past the time where an honest government, or a real democracy, would say "enough failure" throw in the towel, and start again from scratch.
