LONDON – Hackers group Anonymous has conducted a series of attacks on websites of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and consumer organizations.

The ACTA treaty proposes the trade in illegal products to combat and to protect intellectual property. Many people fear that the treaty will lead to censorship on the Internet.

Hacked Dutch ISP KPN Sends Email and Password information in the same Letter,

2012/02/17 10:30 amLeave a Comment

After last week that dutch ISP KPN was hacked, they published customer information from another hack online. The company then locked two million e-mail accounts as a precaution, and called on people to change the password.

The customers who changed their password received a confirmation by mail, but may have a letter with their e-mail address and password. This combination may lead to fraud and is not good cases for KPN customers.

The ISP now recognizes that this is not the right way and promises in the newspaper’s policy to adjust. From Sunday the situation is reversed. Meanwhile, it has over half a million customers changed their password.

KPN and Security..not a good combination!
