Stratfor, a security think tank, provides reports on international security and related threats to government and military personnel as well as to the private sector.
It is unknown whether Anonymous gained access to other, more sensitive information during the Stratfor hacks, which occurred on December 24. “The time for talk is over,” wrote Anonymous last night on Pastebin.
Anonymous’ motives for the attack are also somewhat hazy. In last night’s statement, representatives of the movement wrote, “All our lives we have been robbed blindly and brutalized by corrupted politicians, establishmentarians and government agencies sex shops, and now it’s time to take it back.”
The group has also mentioned future operations, which may target US lawmakers if the controversial Security Online Protection Act does indeed become passed next month in January. A similar bill is also being pushed through the Senate, but is facing much more Democrat opposition.
