ANONYMOUS Hacks The Federal Reserve!

Bernanke got hacked!

---

Are authorities sure it wasn't Jimmy Rogers and James Grant?

Though Anonymous claimed responsibility on Sunday during the Super Bowl, the Fed didn't confirm the attack until late yesterday, finally admitting it involved a database that belongs to the St. Louis Fed Emergency Communications System.

ZDNet

Sensitive data on more than 4,000 banking officials was compromised.  And in spite of the Fed’s attempts to minimize the damage, security experts say the hack poses serious risks.

Jon Waldmanm, vice-president of professional services at Secure Banking Solutions told ZDNet:  “The Federal Reserve is simply incorrect by saying there’s not account details on the list. I’ve seen that list and it is absolutely rife with account details.”

According to The Banker's Advocate, ECS is the emergency communications system for seventeen states, with plans to add seven new states this year.  ECS estimates it holds 40 percent of America's state-chartered banks as its users.

Sensitive information on thousands at state-charter banks and credit unions—including login information, credentials, IP addresses, and contact information—was listed in a spreadsheet and posted to a government site, then announced and claimed by the "Operation Last Resort" faction of Anonymous.

The page—with URL filename "oops-we-did-it-again"—remained accessible into early Monday morning PST. A cached version of the page was still available as of Tuesday afternoon, as well as a copy of the raw text placed on Pastebin at the time of the attack.

We note that the Federal Reserve minidrop earlier was just a counter-distraction to the superbowl distraction. We await the DOJ's statement.

How does anyone not know it may have been a CIA or BlackOps false flag to build the govt's case to invade internet privacy even more.... or regulate it to death???

Our guberment has put itself into the position of when something bad happens, they are the first suspects...no respect...no trust...no confidence. Don't expect people to follow THEIR laws when they themselves do not and they refuse to enforce them upon their cohorts.

Oh puhleeze! What a non-starter. IF "anonymous" were to hack the Fed, they should at least do something Robinhood-like for all the folks who've been raped by said "agency". Like erase all the debt on mortgages and credit cards. When that happens, then many of us will believe there's something to this. Until that happens, it's nothing more than smoke and mirrors.

It appears that Anonymous has made good on its representation of having hacked the Fed. Today they posted a directory listing of files on various Fed servers. The text file listing by itself is 9.8 MB:

That article contains a link to the file listing:

Searching the lsting for various terms turns up some promising file names, e.g...

Amusingly, it appears that Anonymous has pirated the website of a yacht seller to host the files.
