    More US government websites hacked by Anonymous

    LONDON (AP) — The hacking group known as Anonymous has claimed a new series of hacks against the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and consumer rights websites.

    The loosely organized collection of cyber rebels said it attacked the FTC's consumer protection business center and the National Consumer Protection Week websites.

    Both sites were replaced with a violent German-language video satirizing the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, or ACTA.

    ACTA was recently signed by several countries, but restrictions on online piracy have prompted a growing protest movement.

    A call to the Trade Commission rang unanswered before business hours Friday. An email seeking comment was not immediately returned.

    The organization's main home page appeared unaffected by the attacks.

      hope they can hack the ftc and make the oil market trade for 3 dollars instead of 100+ because somebody took a #$%$ on the wrong side of the world.

      "You're already being tracked by cameras like it or not, drones are here to stay, your browser, email, Twitter and Facebook posts give up your privacy with every click. Last but not least, your Onstar, cell phone, and even the credit cards in your wallet give up more of your personal information than a drunk uncle at a family reunion. The personal information that can't be gleaned automatically is provided, without reservation, hesitation or forethought, by you!"

      ...Now suddenly everyone has a problem with redesigning tcp/ip to include hardware based encrypted gps data in packet headers?

      Sorry, but I can only envision those with malicious intent having a problem with this concept.

      Maybe the gov agencies will wake up and get some decent security for their web sites. Lots of good geeks out there need jobs!
      • johnny g 3 mths ago
        The good geeks don`t have to work for the gov. and they probably belong to anonymous.

      If we truly had any kind of transparent government, this wouldn't be needed. When something can be declared secret just because it is embarrassing to some political hack or covers up illegal activities, the actions of anonymous becomes the act of a true patriot.
      • Coolwater 3 mths ago
        I can not believe a fellow Texan would say such a thing. Transparent ? you mean let any one see the strength of our armed forces?? Where our valuables are stored?? Or your credit card numbers??? I guess you would send our Army's war plan to the Taliban? I hope you see the errors of your ways before you get a skid up your

        No dolt..........how deals behind closed doors are going on all the time in washington........THAT kind of transparency!

        Stealing movies are secrets?, this is what this is about, theft of music and movies by those that do not wish to pay those that created it

      Anonymous is like the Neo of our generation and the government is the matrix trying to kill him for fighting for our freedom.

      It's good that these Anonymous people are making a political statement. The government isn't looking out for the people. It's looking out for the lobbyists with the most money to bribe with.

      Have some more Kool Aid Anonymous groupies. What's today's flavor? Ah yes, Bulls**t Blast. Tomorrows will be Jonesin' for Jonestown.

      I think it's great that the thugs who call themselves Law Enforcement Officers are having their names and SSN posted online. Our country move away from the Law Officers doing the "Protect and Server" motto to more of the "Write as many tickets as possible and walk over the rights that our Forefathers set down for us."

      If you think I am some nut, then think about Gitmo. Holding people based on suspicion and their civil rights being thrown out the window.

      Think about the TSA agents who so far have robbed various people, and hired child sex offenders to pat down our children.

      Think about the Police Brutality at the various protests....mass peperspraying, beating up pregnant women, the Veteran that was beaten to death in Oakland.

      At some point these guys will tick off the wrong folks and get a visit from someone not concerned with due process.

      I'd like to see the personal info on these Anon thugs posted over the webs with their names, addresses, SSNs, etc.

      Good maybe it will give the government something to do beside counting the number of sheets of toilet paper we use or arresting us for folding it the wrong way.

      Pull the plug,,,Just pull the plug on the internet. No hackers then

      Who cares! Eliminate all of these agencies and the "problem" disappears.
