Anonymous hacks Federal Reserve, data compromised

[SadJoker]

After Anonymous posted sensitive credentials of over 4,600 banking executives to a government Web site on Super Bowl Sunday, the Federal Reserve acknowledged the attack in a Tuesday morning statement to affected individuals and press.

However, while a spokesperson from the Federal Reserve told The Huffington Post that Anonymous' claim to the hack's importance was "overstated," information security professionals that serve financial institutions are saying the exact opposite?and are not best pleased with the Federal Reserve.

ZDNet has now learned that the compromised and exposed database belongs to The St. Louis Fed Emergency Communications System.

Wow! Seems like Anonymous is doing some damage to US government sites. Wonder how the Pentagon "Cyber Command" is going to respond. (thanks torrentthief)

While I definitely don't hold much sympathy for bankers or the Federal Reserve, I have to ask how this hack relates to "the reform of computer laws" or investigation into Aaron Swartz's prosecution. Seems like this is more related to Occupy-type protest.

The federal reserve isn't run by the government, it is a private organisation, it is pure evil.

The government Web site, which was compromised and used to post the spreadsheet, The Alabama Criminal Justice Information Center, did not respond to requests for comment from the Washington Post.

The page?with URL filename "oops-we-did-it-again"?remained accessible into early Monday morning PST. A cached version of the page was still available as of Tuesday afternoon, as well as a copy of the raw text placed on Pastebin at the time of the attack.

Anyone bother reading the article. Anonymous should be jailed, they are farking around with our economy.

What they(Anon) need to do is actually collapse our economy completely. Maybe that will start the change that we desperately need.

Well all I see is both sides of the coin are the devil, because the Federal Governement is evil too. Just remember, it was our governmet officias who went behind closed doors and signed the deal with th devil. WHat is so funny, is the USA faught in a revolt to end Bristish stronghold, only to sell out to them and others by allow them to control our money. When you dont control your own money than you have a serios problem.

The only way the USA could get out of debt with the FRB is to make its own money, make its own bank to back it up which is easy as they could have these corps provide the capital and use that money to pay off the debt little by little but dont borrow anymore.

There are better ways. Like Obama not bailing out GM.

Take your conspiracy BS to the proper section.

This is why I despise mindless script kiddies. If you want to enact change do it through politics, not mindless vandalism.

The US cannot possible go back to the Gold Standard. There is not enough gold to support our debt.

[2xSilverKnight]

Ain't that a problem, huh?

It would be a huge problem if we went back on the Gold Standard. The fact that we are is so much debt is a big problem which Obama does not seem to care much about as he created most of it.

Lol you lost all credibility right there.

Look at the deficit when he took office compare it to today's . Bush can't be blamed for everything, that kind of thinking got old.

Blaming your president(s) for the countries debt is also getting old.

Blaming your president(s) for the countries debt is also getting old.

The President, in accordance with to the Budget and Accounting Act of 1921, must submit a budget to Congress each year

Then Congress reviews it to make sure the current laws on mandatory spending are met.

Then Who or Whom is to blame? If it is the President that creates the budget?

Just a simple question:

If the President created it then isn't it that person to blame?

This a million zillion times over and to infinity.

Who owns the Federal Reserve?

The Federal Reserve System fulfills its public mission as an independent entity within government. It is not "owned" by anyone and is not a private, profit-making institution.

1/2 right and yes some might say it is evil....

Originally it was created to help stop banks from going under... Such that happened in the early 1900's (I think 1907) when people wanted their money and there was no money to give out. So some small banks went out of business and people lost their money.

What they do now is a shame adjusting rates at random. The only good thing is they insure deposited money is made available to a person to withdraw no matter what. (but only to a certain limit)

Yes if the bank you bank at is FDIC insured.

They are not a bank for people but a bank for banks... and a bank where banks can get loans from they are supposed to make available to people. Which helps to stagnate or push the economy forward or drive it into the ground.

Drive it into the ground is 100% correct. But oh well, The US doesn't have a pot to pee in or a window to throw it out.
