The hacker group Anonymous, or should I say, the hackers who hacked Stratfor and then claimed to be part of Anonymous, have said that they will publish the Stratfor emails they stole a few days ago and that the emails "provide a smoking gun for a number crimes". They've already now posted the credit card numbers and used them to "donate to charity" on behalf of the clients on the client list they hacked.
Unfortunately, the credit card fraud they did will probably have a net effect of costing the charities a bunch of chargeback fees. I hope the credit card companies will be nice and waive these fees, as the charities had nothing to do with this. It's just a big headache for them, even just having to account for the in and out of the bogus transactions; but a pile of chargeback fees on top of it at $35 a pop would just suck for them.
In a world of rampant government surveillance, it is only natural that there would spring up groups that used similar techniques to expose corporate and government corruption. Who will watch the watchers who watch the watchers who watch the watchers who... aw hell. Just set up an infinite mirror. Here's looking at you kid.
