‘A Line Was Crossed’: Anonymous Hacks U.S. Gov’t Website, Threatens to Release Secret Information

Anonymous Hacks U.S. Govt Website, Threatens to Release Secret Information

This screen shot shows the website of the U.S. Sentencing Commission after it was hijacked by the hacker-activist group Anonymous, early Saturday, Jan. 26, 2013, to avenge the death of Aaron Swartz, an Internet activist who committed suicide. The website of the commission, an independent agency of the judicial branch, was replaced with a message warning that when Swartz killed himself two weeks ago “a line was crossed.” (AP)

The hacker-activist group Anonymous said it hijacked the U.S. Sentencing Commission’s website and was threatening to release secret government information to avenge the suicide of Internet activist Aaron Swartz, according to media reports.

A message that appeared on www.ussc.gov demanded the U.S. reform its justice system or face leaks to news outlets, according to CNN. The Associated Press reported the hackers claimed it had infiltrated several government computer systems and copied secret information. The Sentencing Commission’s website was unavailable Saturday morning.

According to CNN, Anonymous claimed to have “enough fissile material for multiple warheads” to launch against the Justice Department and “its associated executive branches.”

Friends and family of Swartz, a co-founder of the social site Reddit, have blamed his suicide on his ongoing legal battle after he posted millions of court and academic documents usually requiring payment for free online.

Anonymous warned that “a line was crossed” with Swartz’s death and named their attack “Operation Last Resort.”

Richard McFeely, the FBI’s executive assistant director of the Criminal, Cyber, Response, and Services Branch, said in a statement Saturday that the bureau was aware of the breach “as soon as it happened and are handling it as a criminal investigation.”

“We are always concerned when someone illegally accesses another person’s or government agency’s network,” McFeely said.

    Until this group hacks into the Secret Files of Obama they do not have my respect. They seem like any other Far Left, angry, anarchist group who operates secretly in the basement world of computer technology. Reminds me of the angry, anti -capitalism, OWS attitude of the Obama Left. And they seem to be much more concerned with the rights of their ” best friends” then with the rest of humanity. They seem like a bunch of school yard bullies who operate secretly when the ” teacher ” isn’t looking. They hide in the computer world instead of behind white sheets. Their agenda is definitely anti- rules, anti-authority, anti-establishment. Little anarchists hiding in the ” safety ” of their computers. Angry and dysfunctional.

      Absolutely correct. They complain the U.S. is not what she use to be and leave out the driving cause? These supposed secret organizations are very easy to hijack. DIA simply puts out similar blurbs and who is to know whether they came from Anonymous or the Govt. Not like Anonymous will appear on O’Rielley and expose the Govt…

      I agree Barber2. If these folks have information that we Americans need to know about the lawlessness within the Justice Department or any other government agency then they should spill the beans or just shut up. I don’t like blackmail or empty threats. They remind me so much of smart, snotty kids. Maybe that is why this cartoon ditty from years ago popped into my head as I read this article.

      I agree. Besides, how do you exact revenge with threats? I say put up or shutup. While Swartz was a genius, and was a key advocate of internet freedom, the fact that he, by his own postings, was extremely messed up sexually, taking random multiple male or female partners just to do the dirty, indicates he had some MAJOR mental health issues. Talking about it publicly put him in a whole other category. Swartz was the darling of the homosexual community, which statistically has a higher rate of suicide and depression than the general population (and no, it’s not because they’re ‘not accepted’ in society. If Anonymous could help us impeach Obama, then I’ll listen. Otherwise they can take their “citizens of the wolrd” crap and …you know what….

      Control of information is a great weapon to change a societies beliefs over a long time. Classic Disinformation operations targeted the media and now with the internet they have moved on to the big Search Engines.

      How many people out there go past the first page of a search? If I wanted to conduct a long term disinformation operation I would slowly rack and stack the stories that I want put out on to the first page of my Search Engine. Over time after racking and stacking the information people ideas and thoughts would start to change. I would mold their opinions. Remember we need to change people opinions about guns from Holder? You can influence change over a vast amount of the population, Cultural Cognition helps map out what people think and than you can come up with how to map out the IO campaign to change it.

      Please research http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Spike_(1980)

      Excellent point. Their search for “truth” is limited to only those they perceive as “enemies”. Funny how the true revolutionaries are apparently the middle class of this country….and rightfully so. It will be interesting to observe what happens when the “REAL” line is crossed and those in power really have something to worry about. And we are very very close.

      I would argue that with obama Communists clearly in control of this country and every branch of the Government we need Anarchists in the worst possible way. Our founding fathers could be classified as Anarchists – When the Government turns to Tyranny it is our civic duty to resist, otherwise you are not a citizen but a Leech.

      Did any of you watch their video in full? Many of you would agree with their message if you did. This wasn’t about revenge for their friend. Its like seeing a guy rob a bank, get caught and tried but released with a slap on the wrist and you walked out with one of the banks pens and they send you to federal pen for 20 years. The embalance of banksters and politicians getting away with murder (figuratively speaking) while others are punished more severely, violating their 8th amendment rights. That is the message anon is trying to tell the work. I don’t disagree with anything they said. I want to see what they have.

      Wednesday, July 18, 2012

      By Dan Crosby of The Daily Pen
      (Updated 7/23/2012)
      KEW, SURREY, GB – The last place anyone would think to look for a birth record of someone claiming to be a “natural born” U.S. citizen is Great Britain. The very inclusion of the Article II eligibility mandate in the U.S. Constitution was explicitly intended by the founding fathers of America to prevent a then British-born enemy usurper from attaining the office of the U.S. presidency and thereby undermining the sovereignty of the newly formed nation.

      Recall, investigative journalists working for Breitbart.com [you know, the boss who mysteriously and suddenly "died"] have already discovered biographical information published by Barack Obama’s literary agent in which he claimed he was born in Kenya.

      [part 2]

      Recall, on August 1, 2009, Dr. Alan Keyes, Pamela Barnett and 42 other plaintiffs filed evidence in a lawsuit challenging Obama eligibility which included a copy of an image of an alleged Kenyan Copy of Certification of Registration of Birth (CCRB). In the hours after the image appeared on the internet, MSNBC and other liberal mainstream, pro-Obama networks went ballistic attempting to debunk the idea that such a docûment exists.

      Several sources show that Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton made a sudden visit to the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the British agency which oversees Public Records Archives from colonial protectorates, to speak with the Chief Executive of the Archives in early August of 2009.

      .

      So, the problem is … Washington DC (the co-conspirators) is in on it and refuse to act upon it.

      “Citizens of the world,

      Anonymous has observed for some time now the trajectory of justice in the United States with growing concern. We have marked the departure of this system from the noble ideals in which it was born and enshrined. We have seen the erosion of due process, the dilution of constitutional rights, the usurpation of the rightful authority of courts by the “discretion” of prosecutors. We have seen how the law is wielded less and less to uphold justice, and more and more to exercise control, authority and power in the interests of oppression or personal gain. … .” – Anonymous, 1/25/2013

      Pursuant to Article 2, Section 1, Obama is ineligible for not being a “natural born citizen” born in the US to US citizens.
      http://puzo1.blogspot.com/2013/01/barack-obama-de-facto-president-of.html

      Obama’s harbors a deep loathing of our Constitution; his usurpation of the presidency and subsequent unlawful anti-American dictates as de facto President are acts of treason if he is actually a citizen born in Hawaii despite evidence to the contrary, or an act of war by a foreign power if he was not.

I’m obviously not tech savvy, and would respecfully request you please answer a few simple questions. What are the files that were hacked and more importantly how do they affect the Amerrican people. What is the ‘mission statement’ of Anonymous and what is the hopeful endgame. Parts of what I’ve read, the letter and the video, tell me this is something I should support, and then when you use your ‘computer language lingo’,I’m totally lost. I cannot tell if you are for or against the Obama Admin.–I’m defintely against it- and if this is a part of what we can use to take our country back to Constitutionality? Forgive my ignorance, but I read what amounts to a bunch of ‘publicly secret posting’ as most of us old geezers have no clue what is going on here. I am interested in being educated and if you feel you can do that safely, then please enlighten me. If you choose to do so and want to keep it private, but after reading what I did, I don’t know if that word exists anymore.

      Something about this seems fishy to me. I’ve read a lot of the Anonymous manifestos and this one just doesn’t seem to jibe. There are 3 things that I warned would happen if Obama were re-elected.
      1. He would go after the guns.
      2. He would go after the internet.
      3. He would go after the 401K money.
      He has had an all too convenient catalyst to go after the guns. He needed to get that started early because he knows it could go all the way to the Supreme court. He had something done to Justice Roberts. I know that in my heart. Such a smart man doesn’t write such a flake opinion like that and then his follow-up comment about it’s not the court’s job to protect the people from their elected choices. My God! That is precisely the court’s primary function!
      Now we have this false flag event and Obama is set to take over the internet. Just like 1-2-3 and number 3 will be the 401K money. What will be the crisis to set that into motion?
      I’m not crazy when I say that I believe the government was involved at Sandy Hook and this supposed government web site hack. Just keep watching. Like I said 1-2-3.

      The absense of the rule of law is anarchy. If good men find a law unjust, they oppose it openly and publicly, and they sign their name. This is the lesson of the Founding Fathers that was expressed so brilliantly in the Declaration of Independence–and which “a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires…” These are not good men.

      Actually anonymous is far from anarchy. It believes in freedom and does more than most to fight for it. They actually take it straight to the man. We are a collective. There is no leader and its no secret club there are a hundreds of millions if anonymous around the world. There not kids living in moms basement. We are your neighbors your waitress your friends your co workers your bosses even CEOs
      Anonymous isn’t all about hacking. It like our constitution is an ideology a collective based on freedoms and not government control. liberals conservatives independents black, white, American , Russian, so on and so on. Sometimes though there are rogue operatives that do things outside of the collective claiming an anonymous identity .. That doesn’t represent us as a collective. Again there is no membership it’s no secret websites anyone can be anonymous you just choose too. I my self am no hacktavist I don’t even know how to. I support anon in other ways. And trust me as a person I’m pretty far right when it comes to my personal politics I listen to glenn pat and stu almost every morning. Any ways thanks for reading this.

      Geo. Washingtons are hard to come by, and your blaming the group ‘Anonymous’ for NOT being a Geo. Wa. is, don’t you think, a little harsh? They are, after all, merely people- human beings. With feelings. Until YOU, yourself, are a Geo. Wa., then I shouldn’t sling any mud, were I you.- Of course, I DO admire your attempt to instigate a Geo. Wa. somewhere in their ranks. Doubtful it will happen, tho. You apparently claim fealty to only the noblest, -which really translates into ‘you claim fealty to basically no-one, since people now, by and large, are basically selfish, and rarely noble. Public schools no longer teach ‘nobility 101′. The REAL ‘trick’ would be to learn to bring out the small measure of nobility that resides in most of us, and help us/ teach us to magnify it until it fairly glows with energy! THEN, I would respect you SO much that I would be compelled to agree with much of what you say. (Is this MY attempt to create a Geo Wa. out of YOU?) :)

      you are wrong on a few things: they aren’t “anarchists.” they are a non-biased group of very intelligent people who just tell it how it is. they support the 2nd ammendment and don’t want gun control: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqiS3f4gxCQ that sounds more “right-winged” than “left-winged.” They support freedom….you’re just pissed they got that church that was picketing funerals with gay signs. oh well…that’s what they get. “anonymous” is the new great equalizer….they don’t threaten, they give a second chance to repent. they warned the church before they published their info….the church didn’t comply and repent from their evil ways….so anonymous published their info. they aren’t “blackmailing” anyone, they are giving the government a 2nd chance to fix what they’re doing wrong and giving them a little motivation to do so. it’s genius. i fully support any hacker group. by that, i mean “real” hackers, not destructive idiots who just want to spread viruses to people. true hackers only believe in freedom of information. that’s what anonymous uses to accomplish it’s goals….information that they obtained freely. it just so happens that the government was trying to block them from the information………in a battle of wits, the government will always lose. you can no longer fight a corrupt government with brute strength…they are too powerful. anonymous is finding a new way to do the same thing you “talk about” doing. differe

      Not to rain on your little parade, but you should probably consider the source. The best computer hackers in the world have been young white men, or young Asian men, who come from a neglectful or abusive family life. While their political views tend towards anarchist or left-of-center, the one thing that they respond to with a right-wing, family-oriented, almost spiritual passion, is the abuse and neglect of people they care about.

      Indeed, the usage of the words “A line was crossed” is indicative of a right-wing thought process. Liberals and Progressives tend to avoid drawing a line in the sand. The words invoke imagery of a soldier preparing for war, a cowboy preparing for a shootout, or a prophet passing judgment. The best way I’ve ever heard Anonymous described is by saying that they are like Captain Janeway on Star Trek. Normally, they don’t deviate outside their main objectives. But when you piss them off, you might as well get ready for war. They don’t respond well to threats, and they really don’t respond well to losing friends.

      Hold on there folks. I don’t know much about Anonymous (in fact, I too thought they were anarchists until recently). Anon has no real structure to their “organization”: they’re mostly individuals, acting independently for causes they feel important to our nation/world. Gosh! They hacked another government site recently over the Obama/Dem’s ongoing attacks on the Second Amendment! From what I read about that, I think they’re much more Libertarian than anarchist – and very dangerous to the powers that be.

      Yeah . . . I wouldn’t be so quick to overly criticize them or decry their tactics and/or stated goal. SOMEBODY’s got to take on this out of control, criminal government. You gonna’ do it? God knows, I’m not! Sorry! They are – and with the same ruthlessness with which the Left is attacking the constitution.

      Look. The threat of 2A isn’t stopping or intimidating the tyrannical Left. They’re going after our guns and eventually, they’ll come for we liberty-minded citizens, as well. Don’t doubt it for a second. Honestly, it seems to me like only Anonymous is doing anything about it. You can hardly deny that they’re taking the fight directly to those in power – fearlessly too: spitting in their “collective eye” & threatening them with exposure (of God knows what). They’ve got to be worried!

      Whatever Anon’s GOT, it’s got to be pretty bad, or else their threats would be hollow. I seriously doubt they are. Do you? I sure wouldn’t want them after me! :-O

The names and addresses of all federal operatives are “secret”. The locations of all of their little hideouts and bunkers are “secret”. Secret this and secret that. I say let them hack into all that crap and just throw it all out there. Let us see how the govt monsters like it when we know everything about them, like they do us.

    IT MAKES ME WONDER… all night long these Anon kiddies, all butthurt because one of their hacker buddies AN HEROED HIMSELF for basically being dumb and lame and not knowing what to do with his life beyond computer hacking, all night long these Anon kiddies HUNG OUT AT 4CHAN, partially in the /b/ forum but also in the /x/ forum, the /x/ forum being slightly different as it has NO ID NUMBERS connected to every post like the /b/ forum does, they were there at 4chan COOKING UP THIS OPERATION all night… hurriedly telling each other what files to download, how to assemble the “warhead” thats what Anon was calling it when their various File Segments are assembled into one large DECODEABLE file that can be decoded into Free Text once ANON publishes their 24-bit DEcryption codes. The Anon acolytes were downloading and assembling these “warheads” right off of the government website that they had CRACKED and then they were to upload them to hundreds of websites around the globe. Then ANON comes out this morning and tells the government basically: “back off of our thievery or we will blow these warheads wide open…” ALL THIS was going on over at 4CHAN last night… and my question is: WHERE IS THE FBI ??? If I can sit here in my chair and watch all this going on right out in the open over on 4chan, then why cannot the FBI do the same thing??? IT MAKES YOU WONDER what exactly is going on here… Supposedly the “warheads” contain all the FBI files of many FEDERAL COURT JUDGES..

I am not to fond of them backing the keystone pipeline activist. But many of the things they are fighting sopa, ndaa etc. I do back them on. I am not sure about thier tactics, but they do work.

      I thought Aaron was brilliant, and having the secret service investigaing was a bit much. The fact that they were threatening him with 35 years is outragious for the crimes he was charged with.

      Do you really think the FBi is not monitoring 4 chan?

      A couple of things here. 4 Chan is where Anon started. /b/ used to be a place where usually kids (my son included) would get together and talk smack to one another and post sill pictures. It was all rather innocuous until Anon decided they didn’t like Scientology (haven’t found a reason for it though) and from there, they have grown and have done several different styles of protest, one was an atheism march, the Westboro Baptists lists. They do stuff all over the world though, I merely listed things here in the US. You can find videos about their causes on Youtube. Part of the reason the FBI doesn’t do anything about them is because its very difficult to track the posters on 4Chan. Another is, I don’t think the govt thinks Anon has enough organization, power, members or information to be a threat. They trivializing them like they do the Tea Party and other right wing groups. The group is maturing right now, give them time and they will become a force to be reckoned with. I say, let’s watch them and see where they go from here.

      For those calling them cowards for not showing their faces, what would be the point of a group call Anonymous if everyone showed their faces?

      Exactly.

Privatization of prisons needs to go, mandatory minimum sentences needs to go, victimless crime need to be decriminalized… were blowing 35k a year on prisoners, and we have over 2 million of them, 90% for non violent crimes. This “justice” system benefits from sending people to prison, creates jobs for guards, parole officers, private prisons get money depending on how many many inmates they have, its disgusting. It is modern day slavery. Also, it is a double dip for our economy, 35k a year of tax payer dollars, and that person has no opportunity to contribute to the GDP while imprisoned.

      Technically yes they violated the law by hacking into government computers but since this government is the largest criminal enterprise in the world I don’t have a problem with it. Then again I won’t go to prison if they get caught.

      Mr or Ms PROGRSSIVESLAYER,

      This is what you must know:

      All your posts are about someone beating up on you. Every one. You should think about becoming less of a sniveling victim and more of an independent, self-directed full grown man.

      It is so.

    I can say that I am torn with these guys. Not a fan of breaking the law. (Here is the however). However, if they bring to light abuses of the government (no matter which side is in charge), Doesn’t that make them “whistleblowers” that are held up as the brave ones? Could we hope that the needed revolution would be a cyber-revolution and not a physical revolution?

      I’m torn too. I mostly agree with them, everything has gone too far and the gov’t is overstepping its bounds in every aspect of the American people’s lives and they are trampling on our Constitution everyday. I am too opposed to breaking the law but if breaking the law to expose the corruption of people of the government puts our Constitution back in its rightful place then it seems justified. It’s not violent and as long as nobody gets hurt or personally destroyed other than the corrupt people (even those people do not need to be hurt physically) maybe it is right. Again I am torn but the corrupt need to be exposed and brought to real justice under the Constitution with due process.

      I second Bodybag’s sentiments exactly:

      Thomas Jefferson’s famous quote “Where Gov fears the people there is liberty” —– Its time this Gov relearns fear of the people.

      And I’d prefer the needed revolution would be a cyber-revolution and not a physical revolution. These corrupt, totalitarian elites in DC need to be stopped. They are traitors in my book and justice needs to be served accordingly to each and every one of them.

      Mr or Ms GONZO,

      This is what you must know:

      Here’s what they have on The NUGE, from 1977, in his own deathless words:

      “I got my physical notice 30 days prior to. Well, on that day I ceased cleansing my body. No more brushing my teeth, no more washing my ****, no baths, no soap, no water. Thirty days of debris build. I stopped shavin’ and I was 18, had a little scraggly beard, really looked like a hippie. I had long ****, and it started gettin’ kinky, matted up. Then two weeks before, I stopped eating any food with nutritional value. I just had chips, Pepsi, beer – stuff I never touched – … little jars of Polish sausages, and I’d drink the syrup, I was this side of death, Then a week before, I stopped going to the bathroom. I did it in my pants. poop, piss the whole shot. My pants got crusted up.”

      Now that’s what I call some goose and gander sauce. You want to see what they have on Obama? Let’s see what they have on Cheney.

      It is . . . skweeeeee . . . so.

      Ohhhhh…. I see, so when there is a problem with one of “YOUR” guys, the proper response isn’t to address it, or even defend it. Instead you try to point a problem with one of the “OTHER” guys?

      So when someone brings up the possibility of an issue with President Obama, The leader of the free world… you cleverly show how brilliant you are by revealing issues with a singer whose greatest claim to fame occured in the 60′s and 70′s.

      You sir are credit to critical thinking and brilliant expose!

      This is what you must know:

      Quite the contrary. You want to see the FBI files on Obama? Fine. But you have to be prepared to suffer the revelations about your own as well. Like Cheney. Like Nuge, who is a hero figure and spokesperson for the Tea Party nutbags – far more influential today than he was in the 60′s or 70s. But that’s a fact you conveniently choose to ignore in your flaccid attempt to make a point. If you were actually a ranger you would despise this man’s hypocrisy. Instead, you’re blinded by the cawing harpies in the right wing media. Try this – think for yourself. The change will do you good.

      It is so.

      Regarding Nugent: It’s not his past that offends or dismays you, and it has nothing to do with Dick Cheney either. What offends you is the knowledge that millions (including Vietnam vets) would proudly share the firing line with Ted Nugent when the SHTF.

      That reality scares you, because in your heart you’ll know you will be in front of the business end of the rifle and not behind the trigger.

      It is SO.

      I am not a fan of Nugent’s pansy ass fandango he pulled to avoid service.

      I am a bit of a fan of Nugent’s current incarnation. But I am not being ruled by the Nuge, The Nuge’s diatribes don’t set the policy and the direction of the United States of America. Comparing the two shows your utter biased and ultimately irrelevant opinion.

      FUBARED: We know, you’re too afraid to enlist and fight for this great nation. You’re content to have the women folk go into combat for you. Don’t despair, you’re not alone. Most of the patriots here on The Blaze are rhinestone cowboys just like you.

      RANGER1965: “current incarnation” is just another way of saying “arbitrary commitment” – but a person of your soaring intellect surely recognizes such discordant consistency. I’m a bettin’ you talk about that stuff around the wood stove down to the grange hall. Word to the wise – the more overblown rhetorical language you trowel out the less compelling and persuasive you are. It’s the difference between being smart and trying to sound smart. You live the latter – which makes you more than irrelevant. It makes you boring. Face it, your heroes and your philosophy are nothing more than remnants of a myth you cling to because you don’t have the guts to deal with reality. It’s true. Elrond told me so.
