Cyber Security FYI- Paypal

[MattUM2]

Hey Guys...

There is a rumor that anonymous is about to hack PAYPAL and and expose user information. Anonymous is sending a friendly message to their twitter followers to delete their PAYPAL accounts before they move forward. I have deleted my account, it is up to you how you decided to use this info.

Anonymous (used as a mass noun) is a hacking group initiating active Civil disobedience and spread through the Internet while staying hidden, originating in 2003 on the imageboard 4chan, representing the concept of many online community users simultaneously existing as an anarchic, digitized global brain. It is also generally considered to be a blanket term for members of certain Internet subcultures, a way to refer to the actions of people in an environment where their actual identities are not known

I think this is the 2nd time. I know I read that they did it earlier in the year and going to again soon.

All of this hacker crap is silly

These guys need to find something better to do with their knowledge

exposing regular people's information is hardly a sane act of protest to a company

Police claim arrest of senior Anonymous hacker

Quote:

Scotland Yard’s specialist cyber crime unit said the 19 year-old man is believed to go by the online alias “Topiary”. He is currently being transported to a central London police station for questioning following a "pre-planned intelligence-led operation". Topiary has acted as a spokesman for both Anonymous and ****Sec, who between them have targeted the CIA, PayPal, Soca, Sony, News International and others in recent months.
