Хакеры снова в деле.

Получил письмо-уведомление от компании Strategic Forecasting Inc с сообщением о том, что их сайт был взломан.

Dear Stratfor Member,

We have learned that Stratfor's web site was hacked by an unauthorized party.  As a result of this incident the operation of Stratfor's servers and email  have been suspended.

We have reason to believe that the names of our corporate subscribers have  been posed on other web sites.  We are diligently investigating the extent to  which subscriber information may have been obtained. 

Stratfor and I take this incident very seriously.  Stratfor's relationship  with its members and, in particular, the confidentiality of their subscriber  information, are very important to Stratfor and me.  We are working closely  with law enforcement in their investigation and will assist them with the  identification of the individual(s) who are responsible. 

Although we are still learning more and the law enforcement investigation is  active and ongoing, we wanted to provide you with notice of this incident as  quickly as possible.  We will keep you updated regarding these matters.

Sincerely,

George Friedman

Особая пикантность этого взлома в том, что Stratfor часто называют "The Shadow CIA".

 

'Anonymous' hackers hit US security firm Stratfor

===
The activist hacker group Anonymous says it has stolen thousands of emails, passwords and credit card details from a US-based security think-tank.

The hackers claim they were able to obtain the information because the company, Stratfor, did not encrypt it.
