Imageshack Hacked By Anti-Sec

[Esn]

Here's a short article about the recent action of these annoying halfwits:

Basically, do not use Imageshack anymore.

I also found their website:
http://romeo.copyandpaste.info/

I don't understand the technical side of this too well, but it seems to me that they're trying to intimidate the security industry so that they can use exploits themselves with users being none the wiser. All of that babble in their manifesto about profits is an incoherent attempt to give it some halfway-acceptable justification other than their own enrichment.

The "mission statement" on their website certainly supports that idea:

~ Fuck full-disclosure
~ Fuck the security industry
~ Keep 0days private
~ Hack everyone you can and then hack some more

Blend in.
Get trusted.
Trust no one.
Own everyone.
Disclose nothing.
Destroy everything.
Take back the scene.
Never sell out, never surrender.
Get in as anonymous, Leave with no trace.

Why do I get the feeling that /b/ has something to do with this?

sounds like a bunch of 4chan idiots trying to get attention. i had a bunch of stuff on imageshack screwed over.

Are they trying to do it for recognition. Everybody's going to hate these people, especially anyone with anything on imageshack.

Haven't seen anything recently on there to indicate it was to do with them...

/b/ isn't the kind of thing to do this, they draw publicity from stunts usually, rather than hacking.
And this isn't the sort of thing they're interested in anyway as /b/ is not a hacking scene.

Still, imageshack looks fine.

I believe they want exactly what they are stating: no more exploits disclosure by security researchers.

Seems like a stupid cause.

 

[b1ueskycomp1ex]

/b/ has something to do with everything. They own the interwebs.

 

[femngi]

What's this '/b/' and '4chan'?

This zine seems to claim hacking the guys who hacked imageshack:

You've got to love hacker ethics disputes... although I don't really understand a word of it.

Imageshack. I wonder why it was targeted.

Nice, the log shows that Dan Kaminsky guy they also targeted downloads SNES ROMs.

 

[Javacat]

Oh what a naughty person he is..

 

[Jourdy288]

Hmm, I think they're behind the current Twitter outage.

 

[OrR]

And how did you come to that conclusion? :huh:

 

[Jourdy288]

IDK, just a guess.
