The hacker collective ‘Anonymous’ claims to have stolen thousands of e-mails, passwords, credit card details and other sensitive information from security think-tank Stratfor.
From the Associated Press:
Anonymous boasted of stealing Stratfor’s confidential client list, which includes entities such as Apple Inc., the U.S. Air Force and the Miami Police Department, and mining it for more than 4,000 credit card numbers, passwords and home addresses.
Austin, Texas-based Stratfor provides political, economic and military analysis to help clients reduce risk, according to a description on its YouTube page. It charges subscribers for its reports and analysis, delivered through the Web, emails and videos. The company’s main website was down Sunday, with a banner saying the “site is currently undergoing maintenance.”
