Hackers Leak Chinese Government Files by the Tens of Thousands

Emails, passwords, and files from Chinese government websites were leaked online by the tens of thousands on Oct. 11, in the largest leak yet from hackers supporting the Hong Kong democracy protests.

Members of Anonymous, a loose collective of hackers, posted an announcement on Oct. 11 declaring “China Attacks Success!” The leaks were part of a campaign they started around Oct. 3 called Operation Hong Kong, or #OpHongKong.

Hackers Leak Chinese Government Files by the Tens of Thousands

So the "Guys" followed through, and buried somewhere among the files and bundles of information may be access to some of China's most guarded secrets. Naturally I am not hopeful, but if they have gotten the access they claim then there is no telling what may come out in the coming days.

I'm sure there are some juicy secrets, but an hour later you'll be craving more.

S&F for you but is there really any interest in the leaked documents? Are they leaking what they stold?

I guess it would depend on what you think you can learn with the user name and password for a chinese military database.

Haha, that is so subtle but hilarious. I doubt most people will catch it unfortunately.

I can't think of a better way to attack the red dragon than to start dumping their secrets online. There are very few ways to do it otherwise that don't result in a quick and secret death.

They'll probably just find a bunch of poop porn....oh wait that's the Japanese.

I think Ill pass on the downloading part.

Im hungry.

This is gonna, no doubt, be interesting...

“This is just the beginning or a series of attacks we have planned,” said Strudalz, one of the prominent members of Anonymous, in an online chat.

Wondering what's next. Can guess.

Fascinating, but won't they all be in Chinese? - which I don't read well.

Just so u know

might not work perfect but will give insight

the passwords are all md5 encryption don't expect anything too soon.

so if they start trying to brute it today we might get lucky and have some tasty secrets to celebrate the heat death of the universe

that said i wouldnt doubt theres something hiding out there that could crack them in a couple hours
so if by some miracle theres something in there they didnt already have access to there might be some intelligence agencies that are excited

thx for following up on this...I always have mixed feelings about anonymous cause usually its just a bunch of ddos attacks but this is a real find....i just wanna see the ufo files haha

Has the War of information begun?

I have only four words: political leverage through blackmail.

The proof that Anonymous is trying to be a political party. Nothing new.

At the end, all the "glorious" battle all come down to the same goal: greed, control. Anonymous is no hero - only a bunch of frustrated hackers who want to become the new kings of the mountain.

It seem strud and his fellows really did it this time, and one key to that was source from another group that an ex member spoiled to them. I wont say more, I figure there are two or three people on ATS that know what I mean.

for the rest: honeypot


Swanne:
no proof at all because strud is not nearly as deep in anonymous as you might think. Nor has there been any word about it from the backbone of anon about that action (in truth, you will never hear from them). It smells like some want to redirect attentions because I know and some may have noticed too, someones out for vendetta. And it´s not the guy fawkes party. # is burning just now.

Who says anon like countless other seemingly civilian orgs are not just cia front?

How the heck do anon get away with being "anon" when the US military / NSA built the whole internet in the first place.

Bull# alarms are ringing.

. The National Security Agency has had agents in China, Germany, and South Korea working on programs that use “physical subversion” to infiltrate and compromise networks and devices, according to documents obtained by The Intercept.

The documents, leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, also indicate that the agency has used “under cover” operatives to gain access to sensitive data and systems in the global communications industry, and that these secret agents may have even dealt with American firms. The documents describe a range of clandestine field activities that are among the agency’s “core secrets” when it comes to computer network attacks, details of which are apparently shared with only a small number of officials outside the NSA

This is awesome.


But, those that venture into it, better protect themselves, as I think the Chinese will want to know the people that try to access anything.

Can't wait to see what comes out of this hack.
