Data intelligence firms proposed a systematic attack against WikiLeaks



In an article published on February 4th by Financial Times, Aaron Barr, CEO of the security services firm HBGary Federal, claims to have been spying on those frequenting the Anonymous Operations chat network.
In response, hackers under the banner of Anonymous have attacked the HBGary Federal computer system, defacing their website. They also took control of Aaron Barr’s personal twitter account where they posted his home address, telephone number, social security number, and an archive containing 50,000 messages from his HBGary email account.
