Another institution joins the victims of Operation Robin Hood

After the First National Bank of Long Island and the BCD Credit Union were found to be vulnerable by the members of the p0isAnon alliance, now the British Airways Employees Federal Credit Union joins the list of victims.

Initially, Operation Robin Hood planned to go after banks, but now they reached the conclusion that even some of the credit unions fail to properly protect their customers. This is the reason why now they’re treating these financial institutions with the same lack of trust as they do banks.

They found out that the British Airways Credit Union was susceptible to an SQL injection attack which could allow other hackers to cause some damage to their systems.

Like in the previous situations, the hackers claim they didn’t touch any of their information databases; instead, the whole purpose of the operation was to show individuals that the institution can easily fail when it comes to the protection of their customers.

“Notice how the customer banner says ‘I wouldn't store my money anywhere else’ yet their own website has vulnerabilities? Bit of a coincidence,” p0isAnon members said.
