Federal Reserve: We Got Hacked by Anonymous

[boutons_deux]

The hacktivist collective released the personal information of over 4,000 Wall Street executives during Superbowl Sunday.

The Federal Reserve released a statement Tuesday acknowledging that members of Anonymous hacked its system to obtain sensitive information from thousands of bank executives.

On Sunday, Anonymous posted a spreadsheet containing the personal information of over 4,000 bankers to the Web site of the Alabama Criminal Justice Information Center. Though the information has since been removed, ZDNetreports the spreadsheet listed names, addresses, e-mail addresses, login information and IP addresses. Anonymous claimed the attack in a Tweet during the Superbowl:

I wonder how many of these big time bankers are actually cashiers at small town banks having to log into the FED website to process their ACH transactions. If you are going to hack the FED get info worth having.

The hackers need to wait until we are all using the same currency then pull the plug.
