ImageShack was hacked by members of the anti-sec movement. Previous critiques of full disclosure have often focused on the use of it to sustain those in power and this one is not different. Here is what the hacked page says (or rather, what an image on the hacked site said). The original image is attached.

ImageShack Proudly Presents....

Anti-Sec. We're a movement dedicated to the eradication of full-disclosure. We wanted to give everybody an image of what we're all about.

Full-disclosure is the disclosure of exploits publicly - anywhere. The security industry uses full-disclosure to profit and develop scare-tactics to convince people into buying their firwalls, anti-virus software, and auditing services.

Meanwhile, script kiddies copy and paste these exploits and compile them, ready to strike any and all vulnerable servers they can get a hold of. If whitehats were truly about security this stuff would not be published, not even exploits with silly edits that make them slightly unusable.

As an added bonus, if publication wasn't enough, these exploits are mirrored and distributed widely across the Internet with a nice little advertisement embedded in them for the crew or website which first exposed the vulnerability to the public.

It's about money. While the world is difficult to change, and money will certainly continue to be important in the eyes of many, our battle is that of the removal of full-disclosure for the purposes of making it harder for the security industry to exploit its consequences.

It is our goal that, through mayhem and destruction of all exploitive and detrimental communities, companies, and individuals, full disclosure will be abandoned and the security industry will be forced to reform.

How do we plan to achieve this? Through the full and unrelenting, unmerciful elimination of all supporters of full-disclosure and the security industry in its present form. If you own a security blog, an exploit publication website or you distribute any exploits... "you are a target and will be rm'd. Only a matter of time."

This isn't like before. This time everyone and everything is getting owned.

No images were harmed in the making of this... image.

The website of Australia's official censorship board was hacked and taken offline today in protest of proposed mandatory ISP-level censorship of websites. This is shortly after WIKILEAKS released the secret proposed censorship list and a German resident's house was raided for having his name in the wikileaks.de WHOIS data. The hack(tivist)er added this text to the center of the page: "This site contains the information about the boards that have the right to CONTROL YOUR FREEDOMZ. This classification board has the right to not just classify content (the name is an ELABORATE TRICK), but also the right to DECIDE WHAT IS AND ISN'T APPROPRIATE and BAN CONTENT FROM THE PUBLIC. We part of an ELABORATE DECEPTION from CHINA to CONTROL AND SHEEPIFY the NATION, to PROTECT THE CHILDREN. All opposers must HATE CHILDREN and therefore must be KILLED WITH A LARGE MELONS during the PROSECUTION PARTIES IN SEPTEMBER. Come join our ALIEN SPACE PARTY. As of the writing of this article, the hacked website is still showing up as unavailable.

The group who has been attacking the cult of scientology for some time has now broken into Sarah Palins yahoo e-mail account. Copies of the e-mails were posted to WikiLeaks and can be found here WikiLeaks Sarah Palin's e-mail. It is not anything too interesting still it is pretty funny though.

Here are a few links to more information:
