Hacking group Anonymous promised Tuesday it would target two U.S. companies and share data from them "soon." The group followed through on that pledge within a day, releasing data files and user passwords obtained from Universal Music and Viacom.
The information was shared, as some of it has been before, on PasteBin; while the more alarming hack, a second strike at data belonging to Arizona's law enforcement, was placed on another file-sharing site.
On their Twitter account, one of the main tools the group uses to communicate, Anonymous tweeted that in at least one media report of the incident, " 'A spokesman for the Arizona Department of Public Safety declined to comment.' Learning from mistakes?"
The Arizona, Universal Music and Viacom hacks reflect Anonymous' "Anti-Security" effort, or #AntiSec, as it's called on Twitter.
