Hackers Steal Data from Pentagon, NASA, Federal Reserve
Members of the Anonymous-affiliated Team GhostShell hacking collective have published what they claim is stolen information for 1.6 million accounts linked to government agencies, including the Pentagon, NASA and the Federal Reserve. The hackers appear to have breached the database with a malicious SQL code injection, ZDNet reported, stealing passwords and corresponding email addresses, phone numbers, home addresses and notes from defense tests. In all, 37 separate organizations, agencies and businesses were hit during the campaign. The data stolen was posted on several different sites to stop it being swiftly found and deleted.
“#ProjectWhiteFox will conclude this year’s series of attacks by promoting hacktivism worldwide and drawing attention to the freedom of information on the net,” Team GhostShell wrote in a Pastebin post that included links to the stolen information.
