Anonymous in revenge hack on firm helping FBI

Anonymous, the online collective that launched DDoS attacks on Visa, PayPal and others in support of whistle-blowing site WikiLeaks, has brought down the web site of a firm helping the FBI to unmask its members.
Security services firm HBGary Federal had been helping the Feds to track down the individuals behind a number of distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks on companies including Amazon, PayPal, Visa, MasterCard, Swiss bank PostFinance and Bank of America, after the firms suspended services to WikiLeaks.
In a sophisticated attack, Anonymous members hacked into HBGary's website and posted an image containing a message explaining their actions. In addition, they downloaded over 60,000 messages from the company's email servers and posted them on The Pirate Bay.
The Twitter account of HBGary's CEO, Aaron Barr, was also compromised and used to tweet a number of offensive messages, as well as his home address, social security number and mobile phone number.
Business magazine Forbes reports that the LinkedIn accounts of other HBGary executives were also accessed. Democrat blog DailyKos also claims that HBGary's backups were also deleted.

HBGary claimed to have gathered the names, addresses and personal details of individuals alleged to be Anonymous leaders, and was preparing to sell the information to the FBI. The hackers claim HBGary's data is bogus, and posted it publicly on the internet to prove their point.
At the time of writing, the HB Gary website is still unavailable. According to a report on krebsonsecurity.com, the HBGary site was compromised using social engineering techniques to get a security administrator to give them complete access to one of the company's sites.

    One does not become a "member" of anonymous, remember :thumbsup: I'd quite like to be part of a much smaller, more elite group. The idea sounds cool.

    Anon is lulzy and powerful. Definitely not just 4chan though. If the US decides to go after them for real I think they'd have a hell of intarwebs battle on their hands. Would it be worth risking losing all the really important data they have?

    Update!!

    http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2011/02/how-one-security-firm-tracked-anonymousand-paid-a-heavy-price.ars

    Morons calculations were so wrong. lol! :D

    The situation got so bad for the security company that HBGary, the company which partially owns HBGary Federal, sent its president Penny Leavy into the Anonymous IRC chat rooms to swim with the sharks—and to beg them to leave her company alone. (Read the bizarre chat log.) Instead, Anonymous suggested that, to avoid more problems, Leavy should fire Barr and "take your investment in aaron's company and donate it to BRADLEY MANNINGS DEFENCE FUND." Barr should cough off up a personal contribution, too; say, one month's salary?
    As for Barr's "pwning," Leavy couldn't backtrack from it fast enough. "We have not seen the list [of Anonymous admins] and we are kind of pissed at him right now."
    Were Barr's vaunted names even correct? Anonymous insisted repeatedly that they were not. As one admin put it in the IRC chat with Leavy, "Did you also know that aaron was peddling fake/wrong/false information leading to the potential arrest of innocent people?" The group then made that information public, claiming that it was all ridiculous.
    Thanks to the leaked e-mails, we now have the full story of how Barr infiltrated Anonymous, used social media to compile his lists, and even resorted to attacks on the codebase of the Low Orbit Ion Cannon used in attacks—and how others at his own company warned him about the pitfalls of his own research.
