    Hacker puts admin access to government, military websites on sale

    http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/1039...-informat.htm#

    Imperva, a data security firm, first reported on the hacker and his offerings on January 21. In a blog post, the firm said that the hacker has put on sale dot-gov, dot-mil and dot-edu websites from across the globe at a price range of $55 to $499. It also discovered that the hacker was also offering personal information from the hacked websites at $20 for 1000 records.

    ...put on sale the admin access to high-profile sites such as the official Italian government website (http://itcgcesaro.gov.it), the Department of Defense Pharmacoeconomic centre (http://pec.ha.osd.mil/) and even the United States Army, Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM) (http://cecom.army.mil ).

    Don't let others get you down. Not naysayers, not pretenders, not appeasers, not opportunists; none of em.

    What others do pales beside what YOU do.

    Press on! - The r3VOLution continues...

    "Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."

    Lol, now that he's announced it's for sale, what's stopping them from resetting all their login information and only sharing it with a select few.

    What an idiot.
    "Resolve to serve no more, and you are at once freed. I do not ask that you place hands upon the tyrant to topple him over, but simply that you support him no longer; then you will behold him, like a great Colossus whose pedestal has been pulled away, fall of his own weight and break in pieces."-Étienne de La Boétie

    What makes you think he didn't put something in place that will notify him of the changes?
    Hell, maybe he put in something that is only triggered by them resetting the info, and this bait in order to get them to reset it. just saying...

    Completely logical assumption, given our government's already-blatant inability to protect data.
