Intelligence Service Stratfor Suffered A Devastating Hacking Attack

http://articles.businessinsider.com/2011-12-25/wall_street/30556093_1_credit-cards-emails-mf-global

This Christmas will not be a happy one for George Friedman (who 
incidentally was the focus of John Mauldin's latest book promotion email 
blast) and his Stratfor Global Intelligence service, because as of a few 
hours ago, hacking collective Anonymous disclosed that not only has it 
hacked the Stratfor website (since confirmed by Friedman himself), but 
has also obtained the full client list of over 4000 individuals and 
corporations, including their credit cards (which supposedly have been 
used to make $1 million in "donations"), as well as over 200 GB of email 
correspondence.
