Anonymous continued with its string of attacks designed to embarrass the FBI, this time claiming to have breached the network of ManTech International, the FBI's cyber-security contractor.

As promised, Anonymous has sought to embarrass the FBI with a network attack, this time going after defense contractor ManTech International.

"Hacktivist" collective Anonymous claims to have "owned" the defense contractor ManTech International and promised to release the stolen information within 24 hours, according to a post on Twitter that appeared shortly after midnight on July 29.

Some documents have already been posted as "teasers," including a resume of an individual with significant military and law enforcement background and a statement of work memo for NATO Communication & Information Systems Services Agency. About 500MB of files are expected to be released.

2. It's people like this that are going to make sure the government acts to take our rights away.

Like that Zuckerberg girl said the other day: We shouldn't have the privilege of being anonymous online anymore.

4. Very interesting... thanks

6. What's the point of this again?

Posting resumes and boring bureaucratic memos? Sounds like a bunch of losers who are trying to show everybody how they are like, totally living on the edge, dude. They might as well be sending 200 pizzas to Quantico that nobody ordered.

7. I would say the point is pretty obvious. The FBI site is not secure. nt

10. Really? Their goal is to help enhance the FBI's cyber security?

I'm not convinced . . . Still sounds like a bunch of computer guys desperate for something to prove.

11. Except that this is not the FBI

It is one of their contractors. I also expect that once again it will be nothing. Every time these assholes manage a brute force entry into some third party server everyone looks at it as some type of victory or some shit but the truth is that there has been pretty much zero decent info to come out of their script kiddy actions. These douchebags would not know a real hacker if they tripped over one.

8. I still don't understand why they aren't going after the offshore banks.

Perhaps they've got better security than even the government? Which would not surprise me in the least. Billionaire money is more important than, well, anything.

13. Because they are script kiddies and not hackers

What have they released that is even a little interesting?

14. I'm getting word that Scotland Yard has

arrested an 18 yr old Scottish lad in connection with Anonymous.
