FBI hack yielded 12 million iPhone and iPad IDs, Anonymous claims

Hackers associated with Anonymous claim to have swiped more than 12 million Apple iPhone and iPad device identifiers from an FBI computer.

Someone using the banner of AntiSec — a 14-month-old joint operation of Anonymous and LulzSec — posted a document to Pastebin on Monday that contained links to around a million Apple unique device identifiers (UDIDs). The anonymous poster said the release was intended to highlight the FBI's alleged tracking of Apple customers.

"We never liked the concept of UDIDs since the beginning indeed," the post read. "Really bad decision from Apple. Fishy thingie."

Every iOS device has a UDID. The number was put in place so developers and mobile advertising networks could track user behaviour. However, over the last year Apple has been phasing out apps' access to UDIDs, as the numbers were sometimes being transmitted to third parties without users' consent.

According to the post, which was linked to from a well-known Anonymous Twitter account, the hackers got into the Dell laptop of FBI special agent Christopher Stangl during the second week of March this year. Stangl works at the FBI's New York field office, and has been a prominent face in the agency's cybersecurity recruitment efforts.

AntiSec said the hack, which apparently exploited a Java vulnerability, yielded a CSV file containing "a list of 12,367,232 Apple iOS devices including Unique Device Identifiers (UDID), user names, name of device, type of device, Apple Push Notification Service [APNS] tokens, zipcodes, cellphone numbers, addresses, etc".

1,000,001 released

The hackers said they were publishing 1,000,001 of the UDIDs and APNS tokens as that was "enough to release". They stressed that they had stripped out the other personal data held in the file, noting that not all the listed devices have the same amount of personal data linked.

"We have learnt it seems quite clear nobody pays attention if you just come and say 'hey, [the] FBI is using your device details and info and who... knows [why they are] experimenting with that'," the document read. "We could have released mail and a very small extract of the data. Some people would eventually pick up the issue but well, let's be honest, that will be ephemeral... Eventually, looking at the massive number of devices concerned, someone should care about it."

The hackers added that it was "the right moment" to release the data as Apple was currently looking for alternatives to the UDID system.

"In this case it's too late for those concerned owners on the list," the document read. "We always thought it was a really bad idea. That hardware coded IDs for devices concept should be eradicated from any device on the market in the future."

The document, which is written in slightly broken English, has near its end an insult about US presidential candidate Mitt Romney, written in German.

Anonymous Threatens New York Times, OpNYT Initiated

Anonymous once again turns its attention to the media. This time it’s the New York Times, its reporters being accused of trying to downplay the impact of the TrapWire mass surveillance project, whose existence was recently unearthed by WikiLeaks.

After WikiLeaks published the Stratfor files and the world learned of TrapWire, the Internet started buzzing. Protests have been planned, sites have been hacked, and many have started looking for the company that’s behind it.

Hacktivists and activists have concentrated their efforts on learning more about the project and the fact that someone called it “wildly exaggerated” isn’t seen too well.

“The New York Times put on the story some yahoo who declared fears to be ‘wildly exaggerated’ in part because two unnamed, titleless sources at the Department of Homeland Security told them they tried it and didn't like it,” they wrote in a statement.

“No indication is given as to whether or not this was proven to the reporter, or if he saw any evidence of it at all. At any rate, this reporter did not see fit to mention what was elsewhere being shouted by Anonymous, Telecomix, Wikileaks, ProjectPM, and independent researchers: that Cubic is in control of this capability, and that this was where the main problem lay.”

While they’re upset that the paper published the piece, they don’t seem to have planned anything related to cybercrime. Instead, they urge supporters to raise awareness by “spreading these and other failures of the New York Times by attaching the info to those deeds to come.”

Finally, Anonymous representatives claim that the Times has changed its administrator password recently, which they consider to be amusing, but “not in accordance with generally-accepted Anonymous tradition of non-aggression via hacking or DOS towards publications not run (officially) by the state.”

Anonymous Releases Simple Guide for Joining the Community

In a blog post entitled “How to join Anonymous” the hacktivists running AnonPR teach everyone, well, how to join Anonymous.

“Wanna lose your theet, have a talking parrot, fire big ass canons and plunder a lot of booty? Then you’re in the right place lad! Here’s what you need to do in order not to be a total [expletive],” they write.

 “Find yourself a new name that is completely unrelated to anything you know or have usedbefore. Leave everything you did, have or know behind – especially your e-mail address and pics of your girlfriend.”

They instruct their supporters to download an IRC client and join one of the many networks, depending on what they’re looking for.

There is AnonPR for the latest news, AnonNet – where the dragons are –, AnonOps, VoxAnon, and AnonPlus.

So far, the small “guide” has attracted the attention of hackers, activists, developers and even journalists. They all want to contribute to the movement.

Yes, for many internauts to be part of Anonymous is cool, but before joining the hacker-activist community, there are some things you should consider.

First of all, it’s not a bad thing to try and make your voice heard, especially if you have something to say. Protesting against things you consider to be unjust is also healthy. We have freedom of speech and we should use this right.

However, there are other ways to make your voice heard besides hacking websites and launching DDOS attacks. Such activities are illegal and, as we recently witnessed, they will likely land you behind bars or in never-ending extradition trials which cause grief to your family and friends.

In a recent interview we had with a former member of the TeaMp0isoN group, he sent out a message to all those who are thinking of becoming hackers.

“Only thing I have to say to people is that the life of a blackhat is not worth the trouble and that I hope this does send a clear message out to people that you are not anonymous online, nothing is secure anymore. Be ethical and do good with your skills instead of bad, or you could meet the fate like the rest of the other big fish,” the hacker said.

Siemens and Fujitsu General Hacked, Data leaked for #OpColtan

Earlier we posted that another Philips website had been hacked not long after a large load of data was leaked from various other Philips sites. Well now another two electronics Giants have been hacked by Anonymous hacktivist in the name of OpColtan.

The two companys are Siemens Switzerland (siemens.ch) and Fujitsu General Brazil(.fujitsugeneral.com.br) and both have resulted in data from server databases being leaked via paste sites.

The attacks have been carried out by @OpGreenRights and the Siemens attack has been posted to private paste in two different parts while the Fujitsu leak was posted to pastebin in  a single paste.

The leaked data from the Siemens attack contains basic database information as well as other non critical information related to the site.

Message:

Our attention turns to you, unscrupulously and greedy multinationals. Behind your famous commercial images, fabricated and marked on an false Ethic, the most cruel barbarites are hidden. 

Coltan, the mineral that you use to produce capacitors of mobile phones, besides being harmful to health, is also the sick result of environmental rape and enslavement of underdeveloped populations. 

His gruesome traffic conceal the abuse of human rights and the dirty, imperialist war, which is the daughter of greed and contempt of life in all its meanings. We can not remain indifferent to greedy profiteers whose revenues are derived from the suffering of a colonized, oppressed and exploited people, forced to work in inhuman conditions and paid with meager wages. 

We also can not remain indifferent to the accomplices of environmental devastation. Your work is unworthy: if you break the Life, we violate your sites. Appeal to the Citizens of the World: while self-styled advertising campaigns boast the next technological item, thousands of children are deprived of their childhood, their bloody hands don’t know what a toy is, and they excavate constantly, searching for a mineral which is harmful to health. 

Thousands of fathers and mothers also work up to 72 hours without any protection, being enslaved and humiliated. Coltan is deleterious for human rights, for environment, and also for health. 

Do not be complicit in this mess, make your voice heard, read up, stand up, fight to restore dignity to those who are without because of the dirty work of “democratic” giants of marketing. 

“We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” (Elie Wiesel)

Philips Advanced hacked for #OpColtan

Anonymous hacktivist have attacked another Philips based website and leaked more data today. The attack comes less then 24hrs after the first main release of data which was well over 200,000 client and subscriber emails and personal details.

The most recent attack has been carried out by @OpGreenRights and has been dubbed as part of #OpColtan which has been running for many weeks now. The electronics Giants websites appear to be very insecure considering the amount of data and accounts that have been leaked from its servers.

The most recent leak was posted to pastebin and has targeted the sub domain for the professional industry advance.philips.com. The leaked data contains very much the same information as the last leak with lots of company and personal information being leaked.

It appears all passwords are encrypted.

British police logins grabbed by 'Free Assange' hacker

A hacker has posted online what appears to be login information for police officers in the Hertfordshire and Nottinghamshire constabularies.

The usernames, passwords and PINs were posted to Pastebin on Thursday, along with the banner 'OpFreeAssange' and a quote from Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. The hacker, '0x00x00', stressed that he or she was not a member of Anonymous.

In a statement, Hertfordshire Constabulary said it was investigating the breach, and confirmed that the information had been "stored on a database linked to the public Safer Neighbourhoods pages of the external Constabulary website".

The force said the database was externally hosted. The Pastebin document refers to Amazon Web Services, but a Hertfordshire Constabulary spokesperson was not able to confirm AWS was the hosting provider.

Hertfordshire Constabulary said it had disabled part of its website as a precaution, but there was "absolutely no suggestion that any personal data relating to officers or members of the public has been, or could have been compromised".

A spokesperson for Nottinghamshire Constabulary said in a statement that, following initial inquiries, the force was "confident at this stage that no restricted or confidential information was accessed or databases compromised".

"We continue to investigate and have taken steps to further strengthen security around our website as a precaution," the statement continued.

The hacker said in the Pastebin document: "This is nothing big not some l33t h4x shit ... but this tells how insecure the Web is."

Julian Assange is currently holed up in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, having claimed asylum there after losing his fight against extradition to Sweden, to face questioning over sex crime allegations.

Assange maintains that, if sent to Sweden, he will then be deported again to the US to face charges over US military and diplomatic secrets that were published through Wikileaks.

His situation has sparked several online attacks, against targets such as the Ministry of Justice, that have apparently been perpetrated by members of the hacking collective Anonymous.

Ukrainian Civil Society and Government Website Hacked, OpUkraine

The Anonymous hackers behind Operation Ukraine seem to be determined to put a stop to what they call the “dog Holocaust.” They recently hacked another high-profile Ukrainian site and published its entire database.

The data leak consists of tens of email addresses, birth dates, IP addresses, usernames and password hashes allegedly stolen from the Civil Society and Government web portal (civic.kmu.gov.ua).

This isn’t the only target of the second phase of OpUkraine. The organizations attacked previously are the Ukrainian Soccer Portal, the Football Federation, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the website of the City of Kiev.

However, until now, the hacktivists have relied on distributed denial-of-service attacks to make their point. Now, it seems that they’ve turned to other methods.

Anonymous continues to accuse the Ukrainian government of violating the agreements made with animal rights organizations. This is probably why we will continue seeing such attacks, at least for a while.

Anonymous Defaces Multiple Israeli Websites in OpIsrael

Anonymous hackers have defaced a number of Israeli websites as a form of protest against the actions of the country’s government.

One of the targets of Operation Israel was ziner.co.il, a website breached by LulzPirate protest against Israel’s involvement in Palestine.

Besides this website, Anonymous activists also defaced Letters For Israel (lettersforisrael.com), a service designed to give pro-Israel advocates the chance to make their voices heard. On the defaced page, the hackers posted a message for Josh Haste, the site’s founder.

“Dear Josh Hasten, You have been guilty in supporting the Zionist State, by writing pro-zionism articles in New York Times, Washington Post, Boston Globe, Time Magazine, and many others. The Zionist State is not innocent, it is killing innocent people, it’s time for you to know the truth. We have taken your website down,” they wrote.

The same hackers breached and defaced MyIsrael.us, posting a similar message and a video in which Israel is accused of controlling the media.

“Dear Citizens of the world, Israel controls America, Canada and more media news. The truth is always hidden, and yet people support the Zionism. Watch this video and observe the truth about the media being controlled by a lethal Zionist State,” Anonymous wrote next to the video.

Finally, they altered the main page of falcon.co.il, a website owned by a company that offers surveillance cameras. The hacktivists took the opportunity to commemorate pro-Palestinian activist Rachel Corrie.

“This is for the loving memory of Rachel Corrie. An Israeli court has ruled in a civil case that the Israel army was not at fault in the bulldozer death of American pro-Palestinian activist Rachel Corrie. Israel must be punished for all the killing on innocent people!! #OpIsrael is here to stay until the Zionist State stops the occupation and the killings,” they explained.

At the time of writing, all the sites still display the messages posted by the hackers.

Alleged University of Pittsburgh Hacker Pleads Not Guilty

24-year-old Alexander Waterland of Loveland, Ohio, has pleaded not guilty before a US Magistrate Judge. Authorities believe that he is one of the Anonymous hackers who back in May threatened to publish confidential information stolen from the systems of the University of Pittsburg.

Although the educational institution’s representatives later determined that their networks weren’t actually penetrated, the FBI launched an investigation which led them to Waterland and 26-year-old Brett Hudson, The Republic reports.

At the time, the hacktivists claimed to be in possession of 200 gigabytes of data, including student usernames and passwords.

“We now have obtained access to every students password, username, email address', personal addresses, dorm room information, parental information, course information, payment information to include type of payment, amount paid and all corresponding Credit Card information,” the hackers said in the video published in May.

“We also possess the equivalent data of the instructors, have access to all coursework, grades, and every student alumni's information. We also have access to the ‘Hydrogen’ server and have helped ourselves to save over 200 gigabytes of information.”

They gave the university a deadline of 15 days to present a public apology for failing to protect its students from cybercriminal activities.

Investigators identified him based on the IP addresses he utilized to publish the video and two other messages. One of them was traced back to Express Scripts – the online prescription drug company for which the suspects worked – and his sister’s home.

Now, the judge agreed to allow Waterland to use the internet, but his online activities will be permanently monitored by authorities.

The incident followed a “dark” period for the University of Pittsburg. A few weeks earlier they received bomb threats.

At the time, the FBI confiscated at least two servers belonging to companies that provided anonymity services in an attempt to identify the culprit.

Pro-Assange group claims university hacking

The University of Cambridge, UK, has launched an investigation after a pro-Assange group claimed to have hacked into its computer systems.

One of the UK's most prestigious universities, the University of Cambridge has apparently fallen prey to hacker group NullCrew, which says it supports Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. The hacktivists have been linked with the Anonymous movement.

The group claims to have targeted the university over the weekend, publishing usernames and passwords of some of the institution's email accounts on Pastebin.

A message from the group which accompanied the release said:

"There is much more where this came from, and don’t think this is the end. NullCrew, along with the whole Anonymous movement isn't near finished with you. And we never will be, until the right thing is done with Julian Assange. Next time it will be worse, we guarantee it."
Through the use of an SQL injection -- which accessed the back-end of the email database system -- the group posted information including seventeen CRSIDs of academics within the Center for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities, as well as administrator login details.

"A group calling itself 'NullCrew' claims to have obtained login details for some web based resources hosted on University systems. As a preventative measure these have been taken offline while IT staff investigate the claims. The hacking group itself has not claimed to have compromised the email login details of members of the University, and there is no evidence to substantiate such a suggestion."
This isn't the first university NullCrew has targeted, releasing 1200 email account details from Yale University last month.

Assange is currently facing extradition to Sweden. In order to avoid -- or simply delay -- deportation, he is currently taking shelter at the Ecuadorean embassy in Knightsbridge, London.

Project Hellfire : Team GhostShell claims 1 million accounts leaked

The Hacker group , Team GhostShell which is affiliated with hacktivists Anonymous, leaked a cache of more than one million user account records from 100 websites over the weekend.

Hackers posted an online announcement claiming possession of sensitive data belonging to a list of organizations including the CIA, MIT, and Wall Street businesses, as reported by TechEYE.net.

Some of the pinched data includes credit histories from banks among other files, many of which were lifted from content management systems. Some of the breached databases each contained more than 30,000 records.

The hackers said the online leaks, which are part of its operation called Project Hellfire, were made in protest against banks and in revenge for the rounding up of hacktivists by cops and government agents.

"With the help of it's sub-divisions, MidasBank & the newest branch, OphiusLab. One million accounts/records leaked." Hackers said in the press release.

"We are also letting everyone know that more releases, collaborations with Anonymous and other, plus two more projects are still scheduled for this fall and winter. It's only the beginning. "
