Sentencing of LulzSec hacker Sabu postponed to January 13, 2014

 
Last week, on October 25, Hector Xavier Monsegur, better known as Sabu of the LulzSec hacker collective, should have been sentenced. However, his sentencing has been once again postponed.

The government has submitted another adjournment request.

“The Government respectfully submits this letter, on behalf of both parties, to request an adjournment of the October 25, 2013 sentencing date in light of the defendant’s ongoing cooperation with the Government,” the letter to Judge Preska reads.

Authorities have asked for the sentencing to take place on January 13, 2014 at 4:00 PM. Interestingly, it appears that the letter was written in haste since the date is misspelled as January 13, 2013.

Few people were surprised on Friday after learning that the sentencing was once again postponed.

Another LulzSec hacker, Jeremy Hammond, has revealed that the US government is using Sabu to hack various organizations, including foreign governments.

#Anonymous hacks systems of Spain’s Catalan Police

Anonymous hackers claim to have breached the systems of Mossos d'Esquadra, the police force of Spanish community of Catalonia. The targeted website is the one of the Catalan police union (spc-me.cat), from which they’ve leaked the details of several individuals.

The hackers claim to have gained access to a massive database. However, they’ve only leaked the phone numbers, emails, tax identification numbers (NIF) and ID numbers of 421 agents.

The attack targeted at the website is a form of protest against police violence. The hacktivists accuse Catalan law enforcement of killing an innocent individual.

The information published by the hackers on Pastebin has been removed. In the meantime, the website of the Catalan police union has been taken offline.

An investigation has been launched by the police’s computer crimes division, the organization’s representatives stated. Impacted individuals are being contacted.

LulzSec hacker Sabu should be sentenced today, October 25 (Updated)

Hector Xavier Monsegur, better known as Sabu of the LulzSec hacktivist group, should be sentenced today.

Monsegur should have been convicted a long time ago. However, since the government is still relying on his services, the decision has been delayed several times.

In August, the judge was asked to postpone the sentencing for October 25, 2013 at 2:30 PM “in light of the defendant’s ongoing cooperation with the Government.”

There’s a chance that the scenario will be repeated. On August 22, just before Sabu was supposed to be sentenced, another LulzSec hacker, Jeremy Hammond, revealed that the government was using Monsegur to “facilitate the hacking of targets of the government’s choosing,” including the systems of foreign governments.

Stay tuned to find out whether Sabu will finally be sentenced.

Update. Attorney Theodora Michaels has learned that Sabu will not be sentenced today. There are no additional details at this point.

12-Year-Old Canadian admits hacking Government and Police websites - #Anonymous

A 12-year-old boy from Montreal, Canada, has admitted hacking government and police websites as part of an Anonymous operation that took place in 2012.

He is said to have hacked several commercial websites, the one of the Quebec Institute of Public Health, the one of the Montreal police, and the site of a government organization from Chile. The damage he caused has been estimated at around $60,000 (€41,700).

The young hacker, who hasn’t been named, is a grade 5 student. He has been passionate about computers since he was nine years old.

His actions were not politically motivated. Instead, he provided information to Anonymous hacktivists in return for video games, the Toronto Sun reported.

Authorities say he launched distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attacks, defaced websites, and leaked data from their servers.

He has pleaded guilty to three hacking-related charges. Others were also arrested in relation to the Anonymous attacks. However, the 12-year-old is said to be the one that helped the others penetrate the websites.

Anonymous hackers target Russia for Detaining Greenpeace Activists

Hackers of the Anonymous movement have launched a distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attack against government.ru, the online portal of the Government of Russia. The attack comes in protest against the arrests of Greenpeace activists by Russian authorities.

The hackers reported that the government website went down on October 23 at 22 GMT +1.

“This TangoDown is in support of jailed GreenPeace activists who staged a protest against oil exploration in the Arctic Ocean last month,” the hacktivists noted.

The attack is also against the arrests of members of a Russian feminist punk rock protest group. The hackers say they support the rights of the LGBT community and they fight against police violence.

“Those who fight for equality are not terrorists! We ask FREEDOM for all!” they said.

At the time of writing, government.ru appears to be working properly.

Anonymous Twitter Account @Anon_Central Hacked by Sabu - False Reports

Over the past few hours, Twitter has been buzzing with news regarding the @Anon_Central Twitter account, which has over 170,000 followers, being hacked by Sabu, the former LulzSec hacker turned FBI informant.

RT was the first to publish a post on the topic and a link to it almost immediately started circulating on Twitter. Many jumped to conclude that @Anon_Central wasn’t hacked by Sabu, but instead, it was owned by authorities right from the start.

In reality, the account wasn’t hacked. Its owner simply posted a couple of messages which read “hacked” and “hacked by Sabu.”

“So according to #RussiaToday, SABU is in a hacking spree of Anon accounts on twitter. wut?” @Anon_Central later wrote.

While it’s true that Sabu, or Hector Xavier Monsegur, is still cooperating with US authorities, it’s unlikely that he’ll start hacking Twitter accounts and writing “hacked by Sabu” on their timeline.

RedHack and Anonymous Team Up for November 5 Protests - #OpDirenis

November 5 is a symbolic date on which hacktivists and activists from all over the world plan on protesting and marching for various causes. RedHack and some members of the Anonymous movement have teamed up for such a protest in Turkey.

According to individuals involved in the campaign, dubbed Operation Direnis (“direnis” is the Turkish word for “resistance”), there will be no defacements or data leaks. Instead, the operation focuses on activism that doesn’t involve cybercrimes.

“Both Anonymous and RedHack are not solely based on hacks, leaks or the exposure of corrupt officials. The very core of both groups are based on activism, in where upon protesting and rebellion is an act of not chaos or anarchy, but of justice, truth and liberty,” the initiators of the operation stated.

“We are here with you today to warn you of an operation that will either go down in history, or it will be forever forged in the stones of rocks, deep in the shadow and forgotten,” they added.

“It is up to the people of Turkey to make one final push to declare both their civil, human and political rights.”

Greetings, citizens of the internet, we are Anonymous - #OpMaryville

"On October 14, we demanded that Daisy's case be reopened and justice be brought to the boys. And even though our press release has been removed by YouTube for spam and other supposed 'community violations,' fear us as the Hydra; cut off one head, and two more will rise up to take its place. Our demands will be met. It's time for the 'good old boys club' to come to an end in Maryville."

Venezuelan Military and Government Websites Hacked by #Anonymous

Hackers of Anonymous Venezuela have breached and defaced several websites of the Venezuelan government and military.

It’s worth noting that on the website of the University of Falcón, the hackers have placed a web-based DDOS tool that’s set up to attack the site of the Currency Administration Commission (cadivi.gob.ve), which is currently offline.

The attacks represent a form of protest against the country’s government.

At the time of writing, all of the websites are still defaced.

#Anonymous Leaks Large Number of Files After Hacking Poland’s Ministry of Economy

Hackers of Anonymous have leaked a large number of files allegedly stolen from the systems of Poland’s Ministry of Economy. More precisely, the data appears to come from the servers of the Trade and Investment Promotion Sections of Polish Embassies and Consulates (trade.gov.pl).

The hacktivists claim to have obtained information on all of the organization’s global offices.

“Basically, it’s Ministry of Economy that got pwnd – a tiny bit of it which was enough to wreck havoc inside their network. In this particular release we deliver Belarus office of this notorious organization which is engaged in industrial espionage through its offices located at Embassies of Poland worldwide,” the hackers wrote on cyberguerrilla.org.

“Basically all trade missions, no secret whatsoever are into spying but this particular office was stashed with internal reports by the polish anti-corruption bureau and its intelligence wing. Inside you will find accesses to VPNs, emails, databases and many more,” they added.

“We do not respect such actions by Veslav Pokladek of Poland and his puppies from the CBA so we deliver this leak.”

The hacktivists claim this is only a small part of the information they’ve obtained. They say they’ll leak information from each of the offices one by one.

Similar to past data leaks, the hackers have provided a small preview on imgur.com. The files published by Anonymous include emails, memos, and copies of passports and other identification documents belonging to citizens of Moldova and Ukraine.

A couple of days ago, the same Anonymous hackers leaked over 3,700 documents from the systems of Greece’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE).

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has released a statement admitting that its email systems have been breached.

Anonymous Leaks 3,700 Documents Stolen from the Greek Government and OSCE

Hackers of Anonymous have leaked over 3,700 documents allegedly stolen from the A3 Directorate for Southeastern European Countries of Greece’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE). The attack is part of an operation dubbed “OpGoldenDawn.”

“We all know how bad the situation in Greece today is, alongside the economic mayhem the government allowed Nazis from Golden Dawn to sabotage the integrity of entire country and European principles of freedom and moral,” the hackers said.

“Today we deliver first sucker punch in a series of jaw breaking leaks, to reveal the truth about the Greece government involvement in conspiracy to spy on us with the help of its ENISA and OSCE cybercrime units. Those responsible for arrests of our fellow lulz charged with OP Payback. 13 is a sacral number so we will deliver one punch to reach exactly that.”

The hacktivists urge their supporters to make copies of the classified, restricted, and confidential documents posted on cyberguerrilla.org to make sure they can’t be removed by “government cleaners.”

They claim more documents will be leaked in the future.

VIDEO: Edward Snowden wins Sam Adams award

This week Edward Snowden received the Integrity Award from the Sam Adams Associates for Integrity in Intelligence. These videos from the award ceremony are the first of Mr Snowden after being granted asylum in Russia.

The videos show Mr Snowden as he was given the award by Ray McGovern (ex-CIA) who said "Sam Adams Associates are proud to honor Mr. Snowden’s decision to heed his conscience and give priority to the Common Good over concerns about his own personal future. We are confident that others with similar moral fiber will follow his example in illuminating dark corners and exposing crimes that put our civil rights as free citizens in jeopardy.... Just as Private Manning and Julian Assange exposed criminality with documentary evidence, Mr. Snowden’s beacon of light has pierced a thick cloud of deception. And, again like them, he has been denied some of the freedoms that whistleblowers have every right to enjoy."

Also present at the ceremony was WikiLeaks journalist Sarah Harrison who took Mr Snowden from Hong Kong to Moscow and obtained his asylum. The previous award winners, all United States Government whistleblowers, Thomas Drake (NSA), Jesselyn Raddack (DoJ) and Coleen Rowley (FBI), were also in attendance. These videos were filmed on the October 9 and are released for the first time today.
