'Anonymous' hackers target US security think tank

None

Hackers with the loose-knit movement "Anonymous" claimed on Sunday to have stolen a raft of e-mails and credit card data from US-based security think tank Stratfor, promising it was just the start of a weeklong, Christmas-inspired assault on a long list of targets.

 

One alleged hacker said the goal was to use the credit data to steal a million dollars - including, apparently, from individuals' accounts - and give the money away as Christmas donations. Images posted online claimed to show the receipts. (AP)
