Several Ortonville-area websites had similar messages from hackers Monday morning, warning the website owner of its vulnerability. "Your site has been hacked by me because we love you and we want to warn you," the hacker's message read. James Ellis, of Brandon Computers, is in charge of Brandon Township's website, www.BrandonTownship.us . It was one of many sites sharing the same server that were hacked. "For several years I have been doing this, and this is the first time I've seen it," Ellis said. Ellis said he fixed the problem and that there is no personal information on the site that can be stolen by hackers. The other websites belong to mostly local churches, Ellis said. Jay Radcliff, a web securities specialist, said vulnerable websites are listed on the Internet. He said hackers can find the websites through simple searches. "It's kind of like graffiti," Radcliff said. "They mark their territory saying, 'Hey, yo...

Spanish police say they've arrested a hacker who threatened to go public with personal information he found in a Nintendo database on about 4,000 of the company's users. Nintendo's Spanish division, Nintendo Ibérica, was approached by the hacker, who was seeking to blackmail the company, Spain's Interior Ministry said Monday. The hacker had apparently found the company's database on the Internet, and he allegedly tried to cut a deal with Nintendo, threatening to both publish the information in an online forum and lodge a complaint with Spain's Data Protection Agency if his demands were not met. Nintendo contacted law enforcement about the issue in early February. The database contained personal information on about 4,000 users, the Interior Ministry said. Nintendo ignored his demands, and the hacker published some of the data in an online forum. He intended to eventually publish the entire database, the Interior Ministry said. Spanish authorities did not n...

Plextor has been hacked. Just days after announcing a new series of solid state drives, the digital storage company has found its U.S. site defaced by a digital vandal calling himself " ViciOuS ". The altered page declares "Hacked by ViciOuS", and includes a shout-out to fellow hackers, a link to what appears to be a hacker oriented website, and even a legally dubious claim to copyright. On Plextor's website, the attack appears to be limited to its U.S. site, as the company's European and Asian websites have been left unchanged. A search using snippets of text found on the defaced page shows that similar hacks have occurred on several other websites as well. The attack coincides with the U.S. launch of Plextor's new M2 line of SSDs, which supports the latest 6Gb/s SATA and offers some of the fastest speeds on the market. Whether the timing of this attack was intentional or merely a coincidence is undetermined.

A newly released report by cybersecurity firm CTM360 reveals a large-scale scam operation utilizing fake news websites—known as Baiting News Sites (BNS)—to deceive users into online investment fraud across 50 countries. These BNS pages are made to look like real news outlets: CNN, BBC, CNBC, or regional media. They publish fake stories that feature public figures, central banks, or financial brands, all claiming to back new ways to earn passive income. The goal? Build trust quickly and steer readers toward professional-looking scam platforms like Trap10, Solara Vynex, or Eclipse Earn. Scammers use sponsored ads on Google, Meta, and blog networks to push traffic to these sites. Ads often carry clickbait headlines—"You won't believe what a prominent public figure just revealed"—paired with official photos or national flags to make them feel legit. Clicking the ad directs users to a fake article, which then redirects them to a fraudulent trading platform. Many of these scams follow a...

The Australian and New Zealand shopping site of cosmetics retailer Lush has been hacked just weeks after a similar breach occurred on the UK site.  Credit card details and other intimate information of shoppers have been exposed. If you visit the Lush Cosmetics Australian  website  you will find a single banner page announcing that the site has suffered a "Privacy Breach."  This is contained as a single JPG image with no other links on the page.  In fact if you use your favourite search engine to find sub-pages, they all return a 404 error.  It would appear that the entire site has been removed from the server and the single banner page put in its place. In part, the site statement says: We are sorry to have to announce that the Lush Australian and New Zealand websites have been hacked.  We have been alerted today to advise us that entry has been gained and customer personal data may have been obtained by the hackers. We urgently advise custom...

Operation OpGoya Live now by Anonymous Hackers !

Beijing - A Chinese man cited by a US security firm as being linked to cyberspying on Western oil companies said on Friday his company rents server space to hundreds of hackers. The disclosure highlighted the pervasiveness of both professional and amateur hacking in China, a leading source of Internet crime. But it also left open the possibility that the hackers cited in a report Thursday by McAfee might be non-Chinese who concealed their identities by routing thefts through computers in China. The man cited by McAfee, Song Zhiyue, is a salesman for a company in the eastern city of Heze that rents server space. He said he has heard of Chinese hackers targeting US oil companies but he declined to comment on McAfee's report. It said Song provided crucial infrastructure to the hackers but wasn't believed to be the mastermind. "Our company alone has a great number of hackers" as customers, Song said in a telephone interview. "I have several hundred of them among all my customers."...

Job seekers' identities compromised in massive data breach. The Irish job website RecruitIreland.com was hacked last week, resulting in breached systems and the theft of the credentials of 400,000 users. The website was temporarily taken offline after the breach was discovered last Tuesday. A statement on the website read that the company had informed Britain's Data Protection Commissioner. "The present indicators are that our database was breached to get email addresses and names for spamming,'" the statement read. "We shut down access to the site and database at 2pm and immediately informed the Data Protection Commissioner and the Gardai [Irish police]. "We take this incident and any attempted breach of our database extremely seriously and this is being investigated internally by our own people." Despite assuring job seekers that no other data such as usernames or passwords were stolen the recruiter advised its members to change their login crede...

#OperationBuckstorm Started By Anonymous Hackers ! Inspired by #OperationPaperstorm. How to make an AnonDollar: 1. Edit George's face on a dollar bill by adding a mask. Clear sticker printer paper works extra awesome for this, or printerpaper/glue. Or you can just draw black bars on George or give him another new face. 2. Write your favorite Anonymous website (ie anonnews.org, anonops.ru, anonleaks.ru operationbuckstorm.blogspot.com) or slogan on the bill margins. Write tiny, and on the borders of the bill. This leaves them intact as legal tender and is very important. 3. You now have an AnonDollar! 4. Spend/tip with/donate/leave on the street! Protips: wear gloves, only spend one at a time, do not damage currency in any way, if asked you either found it on the street or got it as change (where was that?), ALL MONEY IN ALL COUNTRIES CAN PARTICIPATE. We are Anonymous. Expect us.
