Stratfor is an open code US based security think tank. It evaluates present and future threats from open Internet sources. M.I.6/CIA/DIA this info isn’t.

"The Stratfor hack is not the work of Anonymous. Stratfor is an open source intelligence agency, publishing daily reports on data collected from the open Internet. Hackers claiming to be Anonymous have distorted this truth in order to further their hidden agenda, and some Anons have taken the bait," the group claimed in an online communiqué.

Well, no surprise that LulzSec/Anonymous or some other group of sociopaths has hacked yet another site.

For Stratfor, it’s embarrassing and, for its subscribers, worse. Names, addresses, and credit card info was stolen. Names were posted on the net.

The immature hackers (whoever they are: ho hum) have only shown that some company doesn’t know how to keep its customers’ info properly encrypted and guarded. Big news item, that.

In fact, it was probably so easy that Anonymous was ashamed to be guilty of it.

Stratfor confirmed the attack and theft of identities and credit information and that they were only subscribers to a newsletter.

Please, someone: Buy these kids some finger paints. To the kiddies with the expensive toys more properly used as computers should be: Get a life.

And would someone please teach these companies how to secure data the best possible way (by NOT storing it)!
