An anonymous reader writes: ThinkProgress has revealed that the same team (HBGary Federal, Palantir, Berico Technologies and lobbying firm Hunton and Williams)
hired to damage Wikileaks on behalf of Bank of America
had been retained by the US Chamber of Commerce to discredit labor unions and activists.
Actions included investigating the families and children of opponents. Meanwhile, HBGary Federal CEO Aaron Barr bemoans loss of privacy after his emails are hacked and published by Anonymous after he bragged about infiltrating the group.
