Each time protestors will be abused, data will be leaked

Personal data belonging to the head of The New York Community Bank, Joseph Ficalora and Kerry Killinger was published on Pastebin by CabinCr3w, a faction of the infamous Anonymous.

Another set of information has ended up on the internet after Anonymous threatened that all those who harm the people that take part in the Wall Street protest will suffer. This time two famous bankers had their financial records, addresses, legal issues and business registrations made public on the website that's now famous for being used by hackers to brag with their accomplishments.

According to Cyberwarzone, after the files of police officers that were held responsible by the hacktivists for abusing protestors, it's now the turn of two bankers to have their private data posted on the web.

The post that accompanied the leaked info came with a message from the hackers, in which the reasons for their acts are mentioned.

“Reason: Every time a protester gets arrested, more bankers will be targeted. We stand side by side with our brothers and sisters Occupying the World. They destroyed personal property in #OccupyBoston as the cops dumped the peoples belongings in dump trucks, so we release data,” a note read.

It looks as the information contained in the documents is fairly old, but the cyber protestors keep publishing everything they can lay their hands on. What at first began as a peaceful protest is now slowly becoming a riot as more incidents between the people and law enforcement representatives are recorded.

A controversial move made recently by the hacktivists revealed a plan to take down the NYSE, which even though slowed down for a few minutes on October 10, it seems as Anon had nothing to do with it.

At the time of the announcement, Anonymous claimed that they had no intention of attacking NYSE, alerting followers that it's only a poor attempt made by authorities in the effort of uncovering their identities.
