Owned!! Bank of America hacked by #Anonymous. @Cyberwarzonecom news story got 76 k hits today. http://bit.ly/Ywu4yG #EndTheFed

http://www.cyberwarzone.com/breaking-bank-america-hacked-anonymous

It is a known fact that Bank of America is paying contractors to discredit journalist and sabotage their work as well as spying on the Occupy Movement and Anonymous ever since. It was to be expected that these efforts continue and it was also expected that their security remains - at best - lousy.

To start with, we present you about 320mb of internal reports and and emails assembled for Bank of America by a sub-contractor named TEKSystems (who in turn are a subsidiary of the Allegio Group whose founder also owns the Baltimore Ravens). These reports and emails are mostly "information" gathered on public channels on the Anonymous IRC networks irc.anonops.com and irc.voxanon.net.

We were geniously amused by the fact that there are actually paid analysts sitting somewhere, reading the vast amount garbage that scrolls by in large public channels like #anonops and #voxanon. Even more amusing is the keyword list that was found, containing trigger words like "Jihad" or "Homosexual".

Additionally about 6 Gigabyte of source code was looted, which is currently under assessment. We can tell so far that this software belongs to ClearForest, a company specializing on text and social network analysis. It is reasonable to assume that this code is the base system for what was used to categorize and store the acquired infoemation. We will add the complete source code once we have finshied the initial assessment.

Hoover could only hear sinister messages. His type never hears "good" things, and never will. Fire Walk With Me Feb 2013 #5
Yes. A very odd duck Hoover was, for sure. 99th_Monkey Feb 2013 #6

for 31 months, to do in-depth analysis of the nearly indecipherable lyrics to the rock & roll
tune "Louie Louie" in the early 60s, Hoover was apparently convinced that the lyrics contained encoded
information that had the potential to threaten the the security of United Stated of America's government.

This picture is a crappy photo, but still barely readable, account, posted as an exhibit at an Oregon
Historical Society event in Portland 1-2 years ago. The Oregon slant on the song is it originated from
a NorthWest band that played in lots of Portland venues back in the day.

I suppose that's just not threatening enough.

right over my head that one went.

sorry to appear dull, but what does "chastisement to mop
your floor and keep your teeth clean" have to do with the
subject matter; i.e. Corporatist/Gov't over-reach, meddling
menacingly into private lives based largely on a paranoid
mindset.

This of course says more about Hoover than the song he obviously wasted more than a year attempting to "decode".

projecting sinister Evils to be lurking, conjuring his own evil onto
his outer inkblot, often out of thin air, as with Louie Louie.

thanks for the reiteration, to clarify.

That doesn't surprise me.

We need some real dirt to take these fuckers down. But I'm not holding my breath. When they buy the politicians, and write the laws, and rig they system in their favor, there isn't going to be much justice.
