people h.b. gary is one of the companies that is bidding to provide this software so this software provides online personas that can basically go into chat rooms and on block sites and leave comments to try to manufacture consent to use a to use an old noam chomsky phrase but they're using these virtual personas by the thousands and tens of thousands of same company h.b. gary to try to manufacturing consent is part of the propaganda your thoughts on this if you've seen this when you think about this is there a legal precedent for this it sounds illegal to me you know i think that you know this has to be tied into the broader context which is there's one of obama's closest longest term associates ca sunstein who was formerly a law professor at the university of chicago who is now his chief regulatory officer in the white house who published a paper in two thousand and eight that talked about what he called cognitive infiltration of online communities and he described how where people gather on the inte

system and downloading and then publishing on the internet fifty thousand internal e-mails from h.b. gary and among those e-mails were proposals that h.p. gary. and other internet firms and a large law firm in washington were developing to target various critics of the chamber of commerce and also supporters of wiki leaks such as myself with all kinds of odious and probably illegal smear campaigns to destroy their reputation and in some way threaten their careers and that's what it was the publication of those e-mails and those pows that have led to this controversy so wiki leaks was talking about coming out was a huge cache of information relating to a bank and that bank was rumored to be bank of america bank of america then hires this group h.b. gary doing gaijin some defensive cyber actions to protect bank of america and then they got into a kerfuffle with this group anonymous who are hacktivists who are out there kind of trying to defend against overreaching corporate powers and then in the melee your name came up so within the e-mails that were exposed one of the one of the tactics b

firms who form teams that was have since disbanded and the two other organizations working with h.b. gary federal have since disowned the company and their efforts do you think of that would be enough to shame them but apparently the hacktivists are out for blood they've now set up their own whistle blowing web site if you will called anon leaks now on this page it gives a full access to the seventy one thousand e-mails that were hacked by anonymous and offers up every last detail about the original plans to infiltrate companies or anybody who was pro weiqi leaks now the in on the page start to fancy but it does give you full access to nine gigs of information and even tells people how they can set up a mirror sites to show the exact same emails now even of pages solely dedicated to h.b. gary federal e-mails as of now i'm pretty sure that they're going to continue to debut raw and it information to expose companies who are out trying to stop the had to face and at the rate of these hackers are moving it seems as if any organizations i.t. department would prove to be no match for the playe

wiki leaks and its supporters that was leaked thanks to the end attacks of anonymous on the firm h.b. gary federal now this is the computer security firm from which aaron barr a top executive had bragged to the financial times of infiltrating finding the key leaders of the group anonymous you know as if the fact that there are no leaders in anonymous should have been a tip off to begin with the computer security firm was then hacked and fifty thousand emails were posted online now within those e-mails was a report prepared by h.p. kerry in conjunction with two other firms pelletier and miracle technologies on how to take wiki leaks out not only to the plan include planting fake documents and cyber attacks but also pinpointing journalists like glenn greenwald as targets and it turns out that this report was a proposal for bank of america who is shaking in their boots over a possible wiki leaks dump about them who then hired outside firm hunton or williams to find security firms to help them who apparently got a recommendation from the u.s. justice department on working with guns and william

down the whistle blowing site have been marred yet again now we told you last week about the firm h.b. gary federal being hacked by anonymous a group that's defending the efforts of wiki leaks well turns out the that company has actually been working with two other firms barrak zero technologies and helen tear to create a secret master plan to tear apart the whistle blowing web site to their course of action was so well produced the bank of america was even conferring with these three corporations to ensure that the website would be dismantled before any scarring info from the bank would be revealed to the world but alas their efforts of failed because we managed to get a copy of the twenty four page slideshow detailing this takedown so of course we got our hands on the responses they're calling it we just had to share it with everybody because some parts of this thing are absolutely ridiculous first starters they've created a full profile on julian assange listing all of his personal information of the charges that he's facing which you know i guess that part makes sense but it's so painfu

hired private security firm h.b. gary federal to track down the leaders of the hacker group to talk about a plan backfiring ten fold not only did anonymous catch on gary's efforts but they even hacked the firm's official website they uploaded sixty thousand internal e-mails from the firm and the site's page is still filled with a message about anonymous his mission now the group also hacked the c.e.o.'s twitter page leaving the following message they say today we taught everyone a lesson but we actually decided to bite back against those who try to bring us down by heart so ouch i hate to say it but they had to see this one coming right when the f.b.i. . search warrants for members of the organization forty of them executed last week here in the us when they arrested five people in relation to the attacks in the u.k. what do they think was going to happen everybody saw the effects of the hacks against major companies one anonymous first performed those denial of service attacks better known as d.d. o. s. and just a few we

what we saw with this recent hack of the computer security company h.b. gary is an honest and honest didn't just launch a denial of service attack on their website or pull a prank like they might have done in the past they went in they stole all the company's e-mail and then they set up kind of an instance we keep leaks type website where you go on and you could conduct searches and go through and read company e-mail based on the search results so that that i think was definitely a wiki leaks influenced type of attack. that that i expect we're going to see a lot more of a lot of wiki leaks imitators who. aren't just posted leaked material as wiki leaks does but actually going out and getting out some cells all of that will be interesting to watch kevin thank you so much for joining us and everyone go out and get his book about thanks so much thanks now coming up next it's told time and it goes to the congressmen who laughed at the thought of a bomb have been killed at a town hall let you know that is not a break and harry reid has finally come out and said tha
