Submission + - AntiSec Attacks Police In Support of #OWS (securityweek.com) 2

wiredmikey writes: AntiSec Strikes Again! On Friday, AntiSec supporters released a massive cache of personal and confidential information, after announcing the successful compromise of several law enforcement websites. The actions, a statement said, were done to support the Occupy Wall Street movement.

As part of the raid, AntiSec supporters compromised webservers used by Matrix Group, a web development firm located in Arlington, VA, boasting several law enforcement and government clients. The attack on Matrix Group led to the removal of dozens of websites from the Internet, and several other defacements. The defacements included Matrix Group information including sever logs and history files, financial data, client lists, and project information.

Some of the compromised data was published to the Web, and more information is expected to follow. The question is now, how will the other Occupy Wall Street supporters react to these actions?

And, researchers have been talking about a real-world version of Harry Potter's invisibility cloak for years now, mostly for military purposes. But what about Doctor Who's sonic screwdriver? Or James Bond's X-ray glasses?"

Submission + - Army warned about the danger of kittens (wired.com) 2

Oswald McWeany writes: Gaddafi may be dead, Bin Laden may be dead, Saddam may be dead, but there is still plenty to fear for our military. The pentagon has begun a campaign warning our soldiers of the savage danger posed by kittens and puppies. One can never know when a ferocious feline is armed with rabies. The death of one soldier has caused the pentagon to respond to this threat- and not a moment too soon.
