AntiSec hackers bare data on Kissinger, Quayle
A "foreign intelligence service" may be exploiting data revealed by a computer hacking group on U.S. intelligence and military officials, a cyber analyst said.
AntiSec, part of the larger hacking organization Anonymous, disclosed information on officials and former officials who subscribe to Stratfor, which provides clients with analysis of national and international affairs. The data include e-mail addresses and other personal data, the Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday.
The disclosure could make it possible to impersonate Stratfor subscribers cyberspace, analysts told the newspaper. AntiSec released names and credit card numbers of about 75,000 Stratfor subscribers, including former U.S. Vice President Dan Quayle and former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, the report said.
