It seems like a more specific name would be handy. 72.187.98.128 ( talk) 07:13, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
I've added a "citation needed" for "insider trading" because investing on "intelligence gathered" (things you find out) is not the same as "insider trading", which is a criminal offence in many countries relating specifically to securities issued by companies. The term would seem particularly inapplicable if the intention of their fund was to trade in currencies and government bonds as suggested by the International Business Times article cited; the article makes no mention of insider trading. 78.146.232.99 ( talk) 03:32, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
This edit went beyond what was in the edit summary.
Are we seriously arguing about the linguistical semantics of a sentence? :P Silver seren C 18:08, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
I just fixed an error/misunderstanding on the part of someone who read the Democracy Now article and misunderstood it to mean that Thomas Kavaler's email address and password were revealed by the Hammond attack. It was Kavaler's email address and his Stratfor password - one logs into Stratfor using an email address and password pair. Voronwae ( talk) 05:41, 16 November 2013 (UTC)
"WikiLeaks said it had obtained the e-mails from the hacker group Anonymous". Where is the source of that? Wikileaks never mentioned the source. Various people affiliated with Anonymous said the emails were handed over but Wikileaks never confirmed this. 50.7.240.10 ( talk) 16:12, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
The FBI makes the claim that the hacker group was AntiSec: "The Stratfor Hack. In December 2011, HAMMOND conspired to hack into computer systems used by Stratfor, a private firm that provides governments and others with independent geopolitical analysis. HAMMOND and his co-conspirators, as members of AntiSec, stole confidential information from those computer systems, including Stratfor employees’ e-mails as well as account information for approximately 860,000 Stratfor subscribers or clients. HAMMOND and his co-conspirators stole credit card information for approximately 60,000 credit card users and used some of the stolen data to make unauthorized charges exceeding $700,000. HAMMOND and his co-conspirators also publicly disclosed some of the confidential information they had stolen … The charges contained in the indictment and complaints are merely accusations, and the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty."
