More Hacking. This Time Targeting Arab Officials
June 6, 2011 · Mustapha Hamoui
Political hackers are on a roll:
a document was released on PasteBin, a site that already bears the reputation as a hangout for hackers, revealing the log-in details of hundreds of government officials from Bahrain, Egypt, Morocco and Jordan.
I’m not sure what to think about this. The hackers say that their intentions are noble, that they only did that to help the Arab spring.
But here’s my problem: These government officials have access to computer databases about you and me: Our water bills, our social security details, our call histories, our police records… Am I really comfortable with sharing this information with some faceless hackers around the world? I’m not too sure..
