Anonymous hacker broke into wind turbine systems !

Apr 18, 2011
Anonymous hacker  broke into wind turbine systems ! Claiming revenge for an "illegitimate firing," someone has posted screenshots and other data, apparently showing that he was able to break a 200 megawat wind turbine system owned by NextEra Energy Resources, a subsidiary of Florida Power & Light. The data was posted to the Full Disclossure security mailing list Saturday anonymously, by someone using the name "Bgr R." In the post, he (or she) wrote, "Here comes my revenge for illegitimate firing from Florida Power & Light Company... ain't nothing you can do with it, since your electricity is turned off !!!" In an e-mail interview, Bgr R said he's a former employee who discovered a vulnerability in the company's Cisco security management software that he then used to hack into the SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) systems used to control the turbines. His motive was to embarrass the company, he said. "I want peopl...

China's Cyber Hackers Target Western Firms !

Apr 18, 2011
China 's Cyber Hackers Target Western Firms ! Sky News has learnt of the growing threat Western governments and corporations are under from hackers based in China. Cyber crime costs the UK tens of billions of pounds every year. The attacks cannot be traced but I have gained access to some of the country's growing number of hackers to discover just how big a risk they pose: The man I meet is 21, he has no technical training and has moved to Beijing from a small town in southern China. But within minutes of our meeting, he's shown me how he can hack into my email account. A few more clicks of his mouse, and he's stolen my credit card details as I make an online purchase. He says he's a "cyber security expert" - not a hacker - but we can't use his name and he refuses to show his face. I ask him whether he could successfully hack into more carefully guarded computer systems: those of government officials and top companies in the West. "Even...

The Unusual Suspect: Git Repos

The Unusual Suspect: Git Repos

Jul 14, 2025Secrets Management / SaaS Security
While phishing and ransomware dominate headlines, another critical risk quietly persists across most enterprises: exposed Git repositories leaking sensitive data. A risk that silently creates shadow access into core systems Git is the backbone of modern software development, hosting millions of repositories and serving thousands of organizations worldwide. Yet, amid the daily hustle of shipping code, developers may inadvertently leave behind API keys, tokens, or passwords in configuration files and code files, effectively handing attackers the keys to the kingdom. This isn't just about poor hygiene; it's a systemic and growing supply chain risk. As cyber threats become more sophisticated, so do compliance requirements. Security frameworks like NIS2, SOC2, and ISO 27001 now demand proof that software delivery pipelines are hardened and third-party risk is controlled. The message is clear: securing your Git repositories is no longer optional, it's essential. Below, we look at the ris...

Truth About Facebook - CIA, U.S. government - Everything Related !

Apr 17, 2011
Truth About Facebook -  CIA, U.S. government - Everything Related ! The Truth about who owns facebook. In todays world of advanced modern technology, there are billions of people that use Internet as a means of communication. The era of Big Brother is upon us. George Orwell predicted it and, now we live it. Every day just walking down the street for a burger, our faces are recorded on numerous camera's. Even whilst waiting for our burgers to burn, our image is being burned elsewhere. Todays society is a paranoid one, and rightly so. We are never really alone. Business' record every keystroke and every action in an employee's day. International Intelligence agencies scan and flag any messages containing certain buzz words. Why? Because, as Mulder warned us (and Sculley) weekly for many years, "The truth is out there!" The question has been raised that "Face-book" has connections with the CIA. Facebook has a resource that any secret intellige...

Calling All Hackers - Grand Prize in Sunshine State "Hacktacular" Challenge !

Apr 17, 2011
Calling All Hackers - Grand Prize in Sunshine State " Hacktacular " Challenge ! Calling all hackers: Data Analyzers, LLC (www.datanalyzers.com) in Orlando, Florida, is hosting the Sunshine State "Hacktacular" Challenge with a big prize for the top competitor – a full-time job with benefits and relocation allowance if you move to Orlando. Data Analyzers has an immediate job opening for a junior data recovery engineer. The four-year old firm specializes in data recovery, computer forensics and ethical hacking, and has enough corporate clients to keep its engineers working overtime to meet deadlines. Trouble is, very few people in the U.S. possess the skills to qualify. No two data recovery problems are ever the same, and security safeguards are evolving almost as fast as hacking technology. "Data recovery skills are so specialized that typical 'help wanted' ads, even at colleges and universities that offer graduate degrees in computer sciences, don't do the job," said An...
