Apple servers hacked by Anonymous

Anonymous was better off when they were targeting the Church of Scientology. Why can't they find another worthy target? Like, say, the Republican party?

"busy elsewhere" = "we hit a dead end and rather than admit it, we're going home and taking our ball with us."

The server they hit smells like a honeypot to me.

Once you hack you've hacked. The claim they could have done more is hot air, there was no more to do. If they could have done more they would have.

Weffle runners. I'm glad I left that scene when I did, which was a very long long time ago.

Even though I am a dog, I'm pretty sure the first sentence should read "an SQL" instead of "a SQL".

Anonymous is boring

"The passwords appear encrypted so there is little threat that others can abuse this account information."

Since when is this true? A decent machine can brute force a hash in anywhere from a few seconds to a few hours. Anything less than eight characters might as well be in plain text.

If your hashed password leaks, assume it compromised. The only thing having a strong 10+ character password grants you is that most likely nobody is going to waste the hours of CPU cycles cracking it when there are hundreds of idiots with "password" or "monkey" they can unlock in seconds. If there is reason for a particular account to be targeted, then it's only a matter of time.

Wearing those nice running shoes doesn't mean you can outrun the bear. It just helps you outrun your friends.

(I realize the threat is small in this case as it's just a few passwords that will likely be changed before any real abuse occurs, but I felt the wording of the article might be a bit misleading to some concerning the amount of security afforded by the hashed form of a password being leaked)

What is the honest point! Seriously.

can someone please arrest these kids and put them away for longer than 2 months?
