Members of the loose knit hacker collective Anonymous have published a spreadsheet that claims to contain personal information on more than 4,000 US bank executives as part of an ongoing campaign called Operation Last Resort. The group’s latest efforts are designed to provoke computer crime law reform following the suicide of Internet activist Aaron Swartz last month.
Anonymous reportedly hacked into the Alabama Criminal Justice Information Center’s website over the weekend and used the site to host the spreadsheet. The document in question contains the names, phone numbers, computer login credentials and IP addresses of bank executives across the country. ZDNet says the names in the dump match those of current executives at community banks and credit unions.
According to a post from the Twitter account for Operation Last Resort, the credentials in question were obtained from Federal Reserve computers. When contacted for comment by the Huffington Post, a spokesperson refused to comment on the group’s claims nor would they confirm if a statement was forthcoming.
As Gizmodo points out, Operation Last Resort surfaced last month but up to this point, the group hadn’t acted on any of their threats. Anonymous as a whole, however, has been pretty successful as of late. The group was able to overtake MIT websites in memory of Swartz and on a more humorous note, let web surfers blast US government websites via a game of Asteroids using a Nyan Cat spaceship.

This was all predicted by george orwell in 1919
these should help you wake up, all it requires is an open mind. These ideas are all supported by Ron Paul, Joe Rogan, Jesse Ventura, And Alex Jones. This is no joke
By releasing bankers info let's them know they are not gods.

Because publishing hacked information is going to undermine the egos of guys who command trillions of dollars and have the ability to manipulate entire financial markets. Bernanke is sweating bullets, I'm sure.

Here's the deal about successful finance guys. Whether they've made their achievements screwing people over or trying to be an honest market participant, they've got cash and mobility. Unless we've all got access to SAMs and tail numbers, the only person who needs to be afraid is the immigrant doing the landscaping on the banker's property, cause he'll be out of a job when the rich guy packs up shop and moves to Singapore.
An open mind is a great thing, but you have to be able to connect the obvious dots before it's of any use.

Why can't Anonymous do something awesome like erase Sallie Mae servers? That place sucks and is completely responsible for raping citizens' up the arse w/ dirty, diseased dildos. I could buy two houses in NYC with the interest (alone) that has accrued on my account. Ridiculous. Shame on them.
I appreciate what Anonymous is doing, especially because the gov doesn't give a shit about anyone. So long as the banks and oil companies are making their big bonuses, who cares about people like me, breaking her back going to work 45+ hrs a wk, and still living paycheck-to-paycheck despite having a master's degree? Obviously not the gov.
I should state, however, that not everyone as individuals deserves what Anon is doing; they are generalizing, which is exactly what our gov is doing. I suppose it's the cause that separates us from them.
