“You won’t be safe anywhere near electricity anymore”

The official website of the Bilderberg Group was compromised today, with attackers posting a message warning that future hacks would be possible unless members start working for the benefit of humanity.

The Bilderberg Group is a conference that first took place in 1954 and which consists of influential people from Europe and North America meeting to discuss a variety of topics every year.

The club comprises up to 150 members who are part of the media, finance, academia, and various industry sectors. Meetings take place in private, and no public statements are released on what’s being discussed. The most recent conference took place in Germany in June this year.

The official website of the organization was hacked by the HackBack movement and Anonymous, who left a message explaining that all these influential members need to start working for the humanity and not for their own benefit.

Start working for humans or else

Hackers also posted an ultimatum for the Bilderberg Group, warning members that they each have 1 year to start working for humans or other attacks would follow.

“Dear Bilderberg members, from now on, each one of you have 1 year (365 days) to truly work in favor of humans and not your private interests. Otherwise, we will find you and we will hack you,” the message reads.

The hacker group also warned that they can breach pretty much everything belonging to members of the Bilderberg club, including bank accounts, connected cars, laptops, and mobile phones.

“Mind the current situation: We control your expensive connected cars, we control your connected house security devices, we control your daughter’s laptop, we control your wife's mobile. We tape your secret meetings, we read your emails, we control your favorite escort girl’s smartwatch, we are inside your beloved banks and we are reading your assets. You won’t be safe anywhere near electricity anymore,” the message continues.

At the time of writing this article, the website still appears to be hacked, and it’s not yet clear if the organization is aware of the breach.
