"Green" River of Occupy X Data

Between mainstream media outlets and following hashtags on Twitter, it's hard to get a real grasp on the scope and true current events of the Occupy Movement, objective or otherwise.

Dave Winer has solved that problem by creating a massive link blog, what he likes to call a "river of data," with digestible RSS feeds for each major movement. OccupyWeb.org is the perfect spot to get an at-a-glance update of the entire movement, or find a feed for your localization to stay on top of your occupation! OccupyWeb even aggregates photos of the demonstrations: protesters, protest signs, and even the WikiLeaks truck seem to be frequenting the Occupy Photo Stream.

#OccupyWallSt Interview With Michele Moore

Michele Moore, former employee of SunTrust, has been participating in Operation Occupy Wall Street in hope of raising awareness about the situation of bank whistleblowers today and the dire consequences they face for uncovering scandal. Michele Moore herself received threats and became victim to theft and hacking for several years after going to the Securities and Exchange Commision about major accounting irregulatites. You can find out more about her ongoing campaign at the Reporting Wrong Doing website.

Iranian Hacker Compromises 300,000 Users

Comodohacker, who has claimed responsibility for breaching security at Comodo, DigiNotar, and GlobalSign, has come forth in an interview with the New York Times shedding a little light on his attacks and the data he managed to pilfer.

The fruits of his labor are believed to have been used to tap into the online communications of as many as 300,000 unsuspecting Iranians this summer. What’s more, he punched a hole in an online security mechanism that is trusted by millions of Internet users all over the world. [...] He gained control of the server in about 10 days and generated 531 fake certificates, including some for well-known sites like Google, Skype and Facebook, along with a few foreign intelligence sites. He shared them with a person or organization believed to have had control over dozens of Internet service providers and university networks in Iran — perhaps the government itself.

Comodohacker has released several public statements and answers to press, fans and haters on his Pastebin account: http://pastebin.com/u/ComodoHacker. You can also find his proof of concept / proof of hack txts there as well.

/b/ Steals €500,000, Buys 20,000 Wario Games

In what might be the most hilarious methods of harassing the US government Anonymous has employed yet, a still-unknown Anonymous member gained unauthorized access to a European bank account and absconded with €522,233.25 in seconds. What did he do with the motley sum of money? He ordered 20,000 copies of Wario, and 1 unicycle, to the White House!
