Anonymous Hacks Boston PD Website
Anonymous Hacks Boston Police Department Website Over December Occupy Eviction (UPDATED)
This post has been updated. Scroll down for the most recent information on Anonymous' February 3 series of attacks.
Notorious hacker collective Anonymous attacked and defaced the website of the Boston Police Department Friday, apparently in retaliation for a police raid on an Occupy Boston encampment in the city's Dewey Square on December 10.
For long stretches of the morning, the website, BPDNews.com, has loaded an Anonymous-designed web page called "Anti-Sec," also the name of the collective's months-long campaign against a number of governments and corporations.
The page includes a message from the collective, titled, "Anonymous hacks Boston Police website in retaliation for police brutality at OWS," as well as an embedded version of the KRS-One music video, "Sound of Da Police."
A screen grab of the website at 12 p.m. Friday:
The text of the message reads thus:
Do you remember a few months ago when #antisec attaked the Boston Police and released hundred of passwords in retaliation for the brutality against Occupy Boston? They clearly ignored our warnings, because not only did they raid the camp again and kicked protesters off of public parks, but they also sent undercover TSA agents to assualt and attempt to steal from some organizers. So you get your kicks beating protesters? That's OK; we get kicks defacing and rm'n your websites – again. BDNNews.com, the "Boston Poice Department Virtual Community" also fell to the swift merciless veangeance of the hive. Do you really want to step to this??
