Not only was he jested at for his poor understanding systems’ security, the post also released his credit card number and other information towards the end.
The announcement by Anonymous stated that in hacking Stratfor’s systems, they have hacked about 90,000 credit cards of different people including journalists, intelligence community and white-hat hackers. According to the tweet of an Anonymous member SABU, these credit cards will be used to add over a million dollars to donations.
