Regarding hackers



Found this video while browsing the web this evening, and thought it's quite interesting. It's basically a Fox news-clip about a hacker group called the anonymous, that has stolen myspace accounts and similar pranks "for teh lulz", which means for the fun of it.

i'm not entirely sure, but i reckon this has something to do with the flood of passwords a few months back, when several thousands of myspace, irc-galleria and e-mail passwords were released on the internet, and people were advised to change them as soon as possible.

as a sidenote, an acquaintance of one of my friends works on f-secure, and he has stated unofficially, that facebook WILL be soonish used to steal peoples personal information and possibly identities aswell. consider yourselves warned...
