sccsux Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 It looks like it was their mistake that allowed the private details of thousands of people to be put on the net It could have been the webhost as they were moving the domain to another server/IP to mitigate the second DDos attack (archive all email/databases etc, transfer to new box, change IP) could have resulted in the brief (though not brief enough) exposure of the email archive. Then again, why were they keeping such sensitive information, in unencrypted form, is a mystery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I've been reading some of the emails, it makes for interesting reading! Crossley's life is being picked apart by the web! His eHarmony account, or the emails from a colleague talking about how Crossley sacked someone because she wouldn't "put out". The most ironic one was his complaint to Westminster Council because he was fined for throwing out a cardboard box. He claims he didn't do it and was "being treated like a criminal"! As for the downloads, there are some very "interesting" movie titles on there. Personally I can't see the attraction of "granny love" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sccsux Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Anonymous are now targeting the AFACT (Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft) & the Copyright Alliance websites (to the point of making the latter appear to be a 0day warez site:hihi:).

sccsux Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 The personal details of thousands of Sky broadband customers have been leaked on to the internet, alongside a list of pornographic movies they are alleged to have shared online. The list, seen by BBC News, details the full names and addresses of over 5,300 people thought by law firm ACS:Law to be illegally sharing adult films. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-11418962 This could be even funnier than the leaking of the BNP membership list! The tabloids are now covering the story (though are not being 100% factual in doing so): It is believed that hackers opposed to the company's activities deliberately targeted the firm's database before posting details online.

sccsux Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Has Crossley managed to get Max Clifford on board that quick? This protest is only going to get messier by the day for Crossley and the companies that used his services. It's also rather worring that certain ISPs have been handing over the lists of "infringers" without even asking for any kind of proof/offering no defence when asked for IPs:(. PlusNet, BT, Sky, O2 are all guilty of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milquetoast1 Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Just been catching up with this via the torrentfreak links given above. Been a very interesting read I must say. Time to put on my Kevin Keegan voice. I'd love it if Sky gets dragged into this mess, just love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's talk of Sky having set up an 'automated' system for handing IPs over to ACS (sub: without Court Orders) I wonder if/how the ICO is going to handle that one? Blue pill, Red pill, how far down does the rabbit hole go ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
