美国黑客“劫富济贫”窃百万美金捐赠

The loose-knit hacking movement 'Anonymous' claimed Sunday to have stolen thousands of credit card numbers and other personal information belonging to clients of US-based security think tank Stratfor.

One hacker said the goal was to pilfer funds from individuals' accounts to give away as Christmas donations, and some victims confirmed unauthorized transactions linked to their credit cards.

Anonymous boasted of stealing Stratfor's confidential client list, which includes entities ranging from Apple Inc. to the US Air Force to the Miami Police Department, and mining it for more than 4,000 credit card numbers, passwords and home addresses.

Austin, Texas-based Stratfor provides political, economic and military analysis to help clients reduce risk, according to a description on its YouTube page.

It charges subscribers for its reports and analysis, delivered through the web, emails and videos.

The company's main website was down, with a banner saying the 'site is currently undergoing maintenance.'

Proprietary information about the companies and government agencies that subscribe to Stratfor's newsletters did not apear to be at any significant risk, however, with the main threat posed to individual employees who had subscribed.

'Not so private and secret anymore?' Anonymous taunted in a message on Twitter, promising that the attack on Stratfor was just the beginning of a Christmas-inspired assault on a long list of targets.
