The hacktivist group Anonymous has attacked security firm Panda Security shortly after authorities today arrested five men part of Lulz Security (LulzSec), another hacktivist group loosely associated with the former. 28-year-old Hector Xavier Monsegur (Sabu), the leader of LulzSec, allegedly informed U.S. law enforcement of his fellow comrades’ names: Ryan Ackroyd (Kayla), Jake Davis (Topiary), Darren Martyn (pwnsauce), Donncha O’Cearrbhail (palladium), and Jeremy Hammond (Anarchaos).
Now, Anonymous has stolen the account credentials (e-mail address and passwords) of 114 employees working at Panda Security, and posted them online for everyone to see. Internal server details were also revealed. Lastly, they defaced more than two dozen subdomains within “pandasecurity.com” and other several domains owned by the security firm by modifying them to show a video recounting some of LulzSec’s hacking highlights from last year. The video is embedded above.
Here is what Anonymous posted in response to today’s events (AntiSec refers to both Anonymous and LulzSec working together):
