After years of offensive hacking against many companies, governments, etc, we [Anonymous], decided to share data related to an internal confidential project from multiple l33t hackers worldwide. We called that “iWot“, meaning “Internet War On Terror“.

Though we will never forget what happened with Megaupload, Pirate Bay, Sopa, friends, etc, our sub-branch of the Anonymous was created with trusted hackers, to follow a specific goal. This email will be the first from us. Thanks to spread our words

We officially declare War on Terror. This is a call for actions of monitoring and/or destruction of companies and institutions that do work with terrorists, rogue countries, etc.

We already broke the security of multiple networks on earth. Each time we will be able to control them, and to steal data, we will then publish our documents on the net, or share them directly to people involved with Newspapers, Justice, etc, worldwide. Some documents, about some banks working with rogue countries, were already shared to some email addresses. And we are quite happy to see that the truth is on its way.. sometimes..

As some of us already explained, we are not a terrorist organization. It’s just that we are fed-up with the fact that our society is loosing time. So we just decided to speed-up actions against terrorists and their friends. We will first try to eradicate the sources of terrorist financing. It is not possible to know at this time the precise scope or the duration of our actions to counter terrorist threats linked to Internet.

Today, as a proof of concept, we will share information about a really evil bank, hiding ugly activities with terrorists. It’s called “Dahabshiil“, an international funds transfer company. Their networks have been broken by different hackers teams for many years. And it’s time for us to share information here in this mail.

Thanks to Wikileaks, secret documents related to Guantanamo detainees publicly explained part of the truth about Dahabshiil. A veteran extremist and a probable associate of Usama Bin Laden, provided direct financial support to Al-Qaeda, Al-Wafa and other terrorist and terrorist support entities through the Somalia-based company Dahabshiil. This bank is currently helping Al-Qaeda, including members of Al-Shabaab.

Despite the fact that the CEO of Dahabshiil tried to get rid of some people, and sometimes people from its own family, this will not be enough for us. We have stolen many many many documents from Dahabshiil. We have destroyed many workstations in Australia, Kenya, USA, UK, Sweden, Somalia, Dubai, Djibouti, etc. We can transfer money from accounts to accounts, despite the stupid security with tokens, passwords, etc. We have modified Windows kernel on many servers and workstations. We have added different kind of cyber-bombs hidden on many workstations and servers. We have powned switches, routers, firewalls, satellite stuff from Telco, etc.

As Dahabshiil members might think we are lying, we have to share data. Feel free to download and copy the data before everything get destroyed, as it’s totally illegal. And now, if Dahabshiil members were unable to understand why the network sometimes crashed, the computers sometimes died, data from internal servers sometimes died, etc, do not search. It was just our actions against you, with people from our team. As an example, we recently destroyed data on the internal LAN in Somaliland, from the Dahabshiil Headquarters (Hargeisa, etc). That’s why you guys, lost Gigs of internal sensitive data on main servers like \\Dahabshiil7, \\Dahabshiil6…

By the way, we also found out that many employees were looking at facebook stuff, personal email, and tons of incredible hardcore porn web sites especially in countries from the Arabian Peninsula, and from the bank (not at home). Also, the password of the account Administrator of the internal LAN in Somaliland, was mainly “Dahab1234″. Awesome. This is how they protect data of their customers. Quite a serious bank. As we have remote 0days against some of their tools, we easily took the control of any workstations there. Then we bounced and bounced, in order to explore this bank. Hopefully, we were a huge number of hackers at the same time, and during months, which helped at stealing sensitive data, spying on end-users and banking transactions, etc. After months and months of fun against these guys who support Terror on earth, we just decided that it was time to destroy them.

This was just the beginning… and just a proof. So from now, dear Dahabshiil members and customers, you can expect a global internal destruction in less than 2 months. You can keep on asking external consultants, even in Europe, about how to install Antivirus, Firewalls, NAC, IPS, Waf, etc. But we will still destroy your networks, steal your data, and sometimes share internal stuff to the public. This is called a sabotage… We had first to be sure that you could not get rid of our offensive tools. That’s why we used two layers of tools. Skilled stuff (with kernel 0dd modifications, etc), and easy tricks (to annoy and to play with your network/data). Now it’s ready. The bombs will kill your networks and your data in less than 2 months. You can also backup the poor data that you still have, but we also infected random Office/PDF documents left, so you’ll just backup some of our bombs, and your network will still die.

If you want us to immediately stop this cyber-sabotage, it’s quite easy. We just ask you to stop lying, to recognize your help with Somalia terror, and to officially change your behavior. We need a public message from you, as a proof. As you might have seen, public excuses of far more bigger banks than Dahabshiil, were done recently, from people who worked with rogue countries, etc. So, we just ask you to do do the same and to change. We will monitor you, as we already made these years. You have 2 months. Maximum. If we see that you are still asking for help against us, to your supposed-to-be IT Security consultants (UK, etc), or if we see that you are trying to clean our stuff in your kernels, etc, we will then launch the cyber-bombs before the 2 months. You don’t have the choice. You have to submit. You have to leave this world of hate, this world of slaughters, this world of killers, and to leave terrorists behind you.

Of course you needed money. Of course most of your employees/customers are not terrorists. Of course most of your employees/customers didn’t know your links with Terror. Of course someone else would have done this in your place. Of course our offensive actions are totally illegal (like yours when you support Terror). But according to us, these reasons are not good reasons. The countdown is already running. It’s too late. You have the choice between living, or dying with honors in the family of people who helped terrorists. You will be our first public example of cyber-destruction, as others already changed their minds. Be smart. Choose life.

And now a message to Dahabshiil customers: if you have money in this bank, if you are a customer of this bank, if you use this bank to transfer money from a country to another, and even if you are not a terrorist, we will let you less than 2 months before we either publish your personal information (passport, ID card, postal address, phone, email, etc), or we destroy your account by moving your money elsewhere, which will not be complex. As an example, we already shared this kind of information, as a proof of capability. Less than 2 months. After that, don’t cry if you lost your money at Dahabshiil, even if they told your that everything was under control (lulz), that they were able to clean their systems (lulz), etc. So, just take your money out of Dahabshiil now (!), and leave them behind you, before the destruction of this unofficial financial support for terrorists. First casualty of war is innocence. Be smart. Choose life.

And now a message to people in the same situation than Dahabshiil: If you are working with terrorists, if you are helping them, if you are linked to them, we will find you, and you will also be destroyed by our cyber-team, sooner or later. There is no place for you on earth. No place for you on Internet. No place for hate. Make love. Make kids. Be smart. Choose life.

We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us

Anon iWot Team (Internet War On Terror)

Bonus: This is really sad to see that some companies helped Dahabshiil after our intrusions (sometimes from Europe, etc). We won’t reveal the names of these IT Security workers, cause we understood that they just wanted to make money. But, as a last advice for them and their family, thanks to think twice the next time you will help Dahabshiil and terrorists. You are helping people who helped Al-Qaeda, like many other unscrupulous Islamic banks that helped at laundering kind of donations. We know you. You are not anon anymore. *We are Anonymous.*

Credits: though we will hide the identity of the people who helped us, we will at least share our thanks to their organizations, for those who accepted it. So, many many thanks to people from Iomart (!), from Vizada and from Somtel. Some of them accepted to share technical stuff (passwords, remote access, etc) as they do follow our spirit and our values against Terror. *We are legion.*

Contacts: no need to answer to this email address, as it’s not ours. If you want to meet us, as always we’ll be at Defcon soon, and we hope that there will be a special prize for Dahabshiil, though it’s a bit late to propose them to the Powney Awards. We do believe that being an international bank, with really lame security, fake official answers, and real links with terrorists to kill people in Africa, Europe or America (Al-Qaeda), should bring them to a special prize. They deserve it. *We do not forget.*

Future: if you want to participate, just share your thoughts or ideas of targets on Internet with the official related proofs showing links with terrorists. Like any skilled hackers, we can have remote access anywhere on earth (gov, telco, comp, etc) as the current IT Security community is just selling dreams and fake products. If you like our values, thanks to support Anonymous iWot (internet War on terror) and put tags like #anoniwot2012 so that we can find your list of targets, your messages, your help, your ideas, etc. You cannot contact us directly, so, please shout enough so that we can hear you. You can just share message to our teams on public spaces, and we’ll read them. Before that, if you enjoyed our specific actions against terrorists in Somalia, thanks to really show your support about this Somaleaks operation, with the tag #somaleaks and just wait, as many other places might burn sooner or later. *Expect us.* –DATA Dump  http://www.animegist.com/old//Somaleaks/

Supply Chain Cyber Attack

gATO rEaDiNg - 2012 Maindiant “An Evolving Threat” and Trend-Micro LuckyCat ReDux reports. Great reading for any security geek but most important it’s about the business side of the hack. Take the old smash and grab of financial information and split town, process the financial windfall and party like it’s 2999. Now it’s more beneficial for the criminals to stay inside the victims servers and collect intelligence and espionage. Ok let the gAtO break it down for you, not as a criminal that’s easy, as a state actor I would go after AeroSpace, Energy, Shipping, Military Research, Engineering, India  and Tibetan Activist… Wait a minute a India, a Tibetan Activist group, oh yeah you know it’s China but this is to be expected from China. Now the new spin is why would they go into a banks and use advanced persistent threats (APTs) hacks, well as gAtO understands it the Chinese have a shit load of MONEY— follow the money is not only an american thing it’s for every player in the world.

We have to look at the data through 3 different set of eye’s (magnifying glass with gAtO’s old EyE’s) but it’s still the same – Your data (ALL- your little company secrets) needs protection.

Here is the Score-Card your Business — versus – Competition, Government, Criminals, Hacktavist, Economic Espionage, Nuisance Hackers. On top of all this 94% of victims were notified by an external entity that they were hacked. If that doesn’t send chills down every board member in every company in the world, nothing does.

Here you are doing your business and let’s be frank some business well they walk a thin line sometimes like dumping medical and radioactive waste on a beach in New Jersey ( I know Snooki lives there) . IS your company maybe polluting the ground water for a 100 mile radius of the plant. This is not the information that they want hackers, or the press to get a hold of. “Remmember Rudolf Murdock News Hacking Empire- hey hack anyone for a buck”

Protect Customer Data yeah companies and governments want to protect it, but their little illegal/legal stuff companies do like hiding the report of the of shore oil well that just blew up and spilled all kinds of stuff all over the Gulf coast. These are the real thing that keep business people up at night worrying about hackers, it’s plain and simple cover your ass and let’s get that no bid government contract after we pay off the senator and we better encrypt that information…..

Hackers come in all flavors but if you look at the LuckyCat crewz these are very unique. Not only real computer scientist but marketing campaign and project management. They dual tier C&C (Command and Control), they use the victims supply chain to move laterally across trusted networks in order to be more invisible. Invisible takes a new trend here these hacker hide their code in plain site, they used older malware as insertion points sometimes and of course social engineering to gain access.

Bottom line these new hackers- they  are business-men, -they are governments, -they are commercial criminals, -they are hacktivist or -they are a lone wolf hacker. Companies are finally getting the message. Protect your data, not just your customer’s data, but all your little secrets because if your online– someone is watching you and these can be a 15 year old kid or a Dual Master degree in computer technology that is unemployed or works for a government. Trust but verify takes on a new meaning now -gAtO oUt

lab notes - The report, which is based on hundreds of advanced threat investigations conducted over the past year, includes analysis, statistics and case studies that highlight how advanced and motivated attackers are stealing sensitive intellectual property and financial assets.

Malware Only Tells Half of the Story Organizations’ investments in malware detection and antivirus capabilities, while effective in detecting characteristics associated with common worms, botnets, and drive-by downloads, do little to help defend against targeted intrusions.

The use of these publicly available tools has added some complexity to identifying threat actors because when organizations identify a piece of publicly available malware they often cleanse the file and — in the process — obscure what could be a larger incident.

It’s unclear why banks wouldn’t already be looking for unusual settlement activity and conducting daily monitoring, but there it is. At any rate,  “high-risk” merchants generally handle the dicey and vicey types of online commerce, such as Internet gaming, adult Web sites, rogue anti-virus software sales and online pharmacies. Might be a good idea to keep an extra close eye out for these types of unauthorized charges over the next few days

TERRORISTS using online war games like Call of Duty to plot attacks

gAtO FoUnDthis in http://pastebin.com/9z7nbmEj Islamic extremists know cops monitor phone calls, emails and online messages.

So they are turning to PlayStation and Xbox games to keep their deadly plans secret.

Gamers can log on in groups to play against each other and — crucially — to chat in private.

Once signed in to a “lobby” using a password, plotters put on Bluetooth headsets and speak securely to conspirators on the same site.

Other shoot-’em-up games suspected of being targeted by terrorists are thought to be Medal of Honour and the Halo series.

Realistic … war games

Alamy Last night, a source said: “It’s a terrifying reality. These people waste no time finding a secure method of chatting.

“They are logging into group games over the internet and discussing terror plots. Security people know about it.

“For millions who love these games this will be a huge shock.

“To think fanatics use them for their own ends is a real worry.” Sources say plotters choose realistic conflict games so they can mask their deadly discussions as harmless web chat.

Online craze … 40 million people play Call Of Duty on the net

There has even been evidence would-be jihadists treat war games as training tools, a bit like a pilot might use a flight simulator.

News of the growing threat comes five years after the CIA first warned of the menace.

But with the soaring popularity of the games, there are now fears they are being used by increasing numbers of criminals and terrorists.

Last night government sources said police and spy chiefs were already responding to the threat.

A security expert revealed: “Those who fight crime and terrorism keep up to date with technological changes.”

Best-seller … Call Of Duty MW3 made £250m in 24 hours

The terrorists choose incredibly realistic “first person games” where the controller works through a complex simulation of war scenarios, carrying out missions and battling enemy fighters.

Gamers choose different styles of play and missions — from planting bombs to fighting one-on-one.

Then they enter the lobby and invite their friends to join in.

Call of Duty addicts can even join “clans” — groups who regularly play together.

The games use a password-protected log-on to keep users’ identities secret. The system was designed so players anywhere on the globe can get together for harmless fantasy battles.

But security chiefs now fear plotters are set to turn those fantasies into reality. - gAtO -oUt
