ProtestWarriors site hacked?
In the 1992 movie "Sneakers," Martin Bishop and his crackerjack hacking partner Cosmo infiltrate the Federal Reserve mainframe in 1969 and orchestrate a $25,000 donation from the Republican Party to the Black Panthers, as well as a generous contribution from Richard Nixon to the National Association to Legalize Marijuana.

The plot seemed far-fetched at the time. But this month, an Austin-based group called ProtestWarrior, which crashes anti-war demonstrations and produced a video that attacks Middle Eastern "Islamo-fascists," informed its members that their credit card information might have been compromised after a Chicago-based hacker cracked the site's code; ProtestWarrior claims that the hacker had intended to give donations to the American Civil Liberties Union, among other organizations.

The FBI is investigating, but no charges have been filed.

1. This is just a ploy by PW to get some advertising because they only have
about 30 members worldwide. they are pittiful freeptards who are all talk and no action. you should see the idiots in freepland get all frothy in the mouth about their silly little "counter-protests", but no one ever shows up to them.

they're too stupid to realize that their membership total includes MANY democrats posing as repukes and freeptards with multiple id's.

PW is just as desperate for numbers as freepland..

BWAHAHAHAHA!

2. The info on some of these exploits is up on a few of the hackers' sites.
At least it was, months ago.

3. The revolution will be digital hacking
"We're not out to screw people individually," he (Hammond) added. "There's an important difference between malicious and criminal hacking and people who hack for social justice."

Hammond said ProtestWarrior was behind the hacks of left-leaning Web sites last year and "had made themselves a very big target." Those hacks were committed by a man who is no longer a ProtestWarrior, Alfia said.


So we have PW admitting they hack left-leaning sites, although we're supposed to believe that they stopped doing it. Why of course I believe you Alfia.

It was tit for tat payback, and PW are a bunch of whiners. I'm sure in the hack code of conduct squealing to the cops when there was no monetary loss is lower than scum. PW, Cry babies. Expect the war will escalate and next time Alfia might find himself in the same position. Hackers have long memories.
