Although it officially ended its operations last weekend, the group of hackers LulzSec began a movement that still resonates today. The flag of the call AntiSec, movement against information security continues to be raised by several groups of hackers around the world. The Anonymous AntiSec adhered to when it joined the LulzSec and released this week AntiSec-001, first set of motion data containing different logins.
Among other things, the file contains usernames and email addresses of various sites of the Brazilian government and the Ministry of the Environment, Public Prosecutor of Pará State and even data from the Art Institute of Unicamp. In addition, the group also released databases containing logins sites Viacom and Universal Music. In the announcement released with the file, Anonymous says that the two media conglomerates are corrupt and therefore deserve to have their data exposed.
Brazilian government Web sites were not the only targets of data leakage. The file released by them, which is available for anyone to download the pirates at bay, the site also contains information from the governments of Zimbabwe and Australia. In the eyes of the group, they are all regarded as corrupt as the media conglomerates Viacom and Universal.
Update at 11:06 | After reviewing the file, a friend informed me that they only contains the login name and e-mail. Passwords are not contained, at least not in the archives of the Brazilian government. The text of the post was changed to reflect this new information.
