Anonymous Message to India


A message to all Indians, courtesy Anonymous
========================================================

Citizens of India !

Greetings from Anonymous Collective

Since many days we have been observing the deteriorating condition of Free Speech in India. And how the corrupt Indian government is trying to suppress every dissenting voice.

Today, they talked about blocking Social Media for few days.
Tomorrow ...... they will DO it.

Once again the government is at its games trying to gag the social media which is the only remaining venue of free speech.

That battle was won but the war is still far away.
We haven't achieved complete victory.
We have still a long way to go.

We need to show this corrupt government that the citizens of this great nation shall not bow. As one of your poets of the past has said -
"Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high
Where knowledge is free"

The cause and foundations of this nation, are today under danger.
And there is only one person who can save it.

YOU..!!
Get out and say it loud and clear in the government's face that, "I will not tolerate your misdoings anymore"

We are not calling for a rebellion.
Neither do we want to out-throw the government.
We just want a "Revolution"

The system will not correct itself, the corrupt will not make laws to prevent corruption or stand up for your need. Take to the streets, create a movement that aims at changing the system and correcting its flaws. Always follow the path of non-violence.

No leader will come to your rescue, no one will work for you, do it yourself. Join hands. United as One we stand.

You know what to do...
You know what to fight for...
You know what is right...
You just need to know "WHO YOU ARE"

After 65 years, this nation needs to unite once again, to be truly free.

Be ready to save "your" nation....

We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not forget.
We WONT FORGIVE.

Govt. of India, you should have expected us.

Electronics company Philips was hacked again by Anonymous, with almost 200,000 data leaked on the Internet. The dump was posted under the #Antisec #LulzSecReborn hashtag on one of the hacking groups’ websites.

The leaked files have been uploaded to various file hosting sites and contain a compressed file with raw sql database outputs.

Suspected LulzSec hacker arrested in Sony Pictures breach

A second suspected member of the clandestine hacking group LulzSec was arrested on Tuesday on charges he took part in an extensive computer breach of Sony Pictures Entertainment, the FBI said. Raynaldo Rivera, 20, of Tempe, Arizona, surrendered to U.S. authorities in Phoenix six days after a federal grand jury in Los Angeles returned an indictment charging him with conspiracy and unauthorized impairment of a protected computer. If convicted, Rivera faces up to 15 years in prison. The indictment, unsealed on Tuesday, accuses Rivera and co-conspirators of stealing information from Sony Corp's Sony Pictures' computer systems in May and June 2011 using an "SQL injection" attack against the studio's website, a technique commonly employed by hackers. The indictment said Rivera then helped to post the confidential information onto LulzSec's website and announced the intrusion via the hacking group's Twitter account. While Rivera was the only person named in the indictment, the FBI said his co-conspirators included Cody Kretsinger, 24, a confessed LulzSec member who pleaded guilty in April to federal charges stemming from his role in the Sony attack.

Global TrapWire/INDECT protest October 20

The TrapWire surveillance system and Europe's INDECT are the subject of a global Anonymous protest planned for Saturday, October 20 2012 Information about the protest is being shared on twitter by OpINDECT International and there is an #OpINDECT/#TrapWire Facebook Event Page.

It is not the first INDECT protest - but recent news about TrapWire from the Wikileaks leak of private intelligence firm Stratfor's documents has added a tanker of gas to the fire.

News and locations of the protest are being shared on various forums and social media sites primarily with a google map showing locations of protesters joining the efforts to raise awareness and intent to stop use of the surveillance technologies.

TrapWire is in implementation in the United States while INDECT is officially still a European research project. While details are unconfirmed, the intent of both TrapWire and INDECT is to combine various intelligent surveillance technologies with tracking and location data, individual profile histories from various sources (datamining and social media), and image data analysis (such as facial recognition; TrapWire's video component) to monitor people under the guise of threat detection. Upon the release of Wikileaks' Stratfor documents (emails), news about TrapWire and sibling surveillance technologies have been met with increasing public surprise, fear and outrage.

A significant number of TrapWire and INDECT's opponents believe the surveillance systems to be direct threats to privacy, certain civil freedoms and that their implementation could constitute human rights violations. TrapWire is used by private entities, the US Government "and its allies overseas."

Last week it was revealed that TrapWire is now linked to Anonymizer, a tool used by activists and at-risk populations - formerly trusted for its security and anonymity protections.

Anonymous defaced Pussy Riot court website.

The website of a Moscow court that sentenced three members of Russian punk band Pussy Riot has suffered a hack attack. The site of the Khamovnichesky District Court was defaced with anti-Vladimir Putin slogans and a video uploaded.

In a message on the site, the attackers associated themselves with Anonymous. "We are American group Anonymous. We don't forget and we don't forgive," said the post, in Russian. "Justice system has to be transparent. Pussy [Riot's members] are alive," said another of the posts. Hackers also uploaded a new song by Pussy Riot, called Putin is Lighting the Fires of the Revolution, and a video of a Bulgarian singer, Aziz.

A spokeswoman for the court said the attack had been discovered early on Tuesday and the site was temporarily taken down.

Anonymous attacks British government sites

Anonymous has attacked the websites of the UK Ministry of Justice and the Department for Work and Pensions corporate website, royal.gov.uk, gateway.gov.uk, statistics.gov.uk and number10.gov.uk. The attack is a protest for Britain’s handling of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. The assault on the websites is being carried out under a campaign branded #OpFreeAssange.

Earlier this week Ecuador has granted asylum to Wikileaks founder Julian Assange two months after he took refuge in its London embassy while fighting extradition from the UK. Foreign minister Ricardo Patino accused the UK of making an "open threat" to enter its embassy to arrest Mr Assange.


A spokeswoman for the Ministry of Justice website said it "had been experiencing some disruption". "This is a public information website and no sensitive data is held on it. No other Ministry of Justice systems have been affected," she said in a statement. "Measures put in place to keep the website running mean that some visitors may be unable to access the site intermittently. We will continue to monitor the situation and will take measures accordingly," she added.
