Though it's not exactly clear who broke into the think tank Stratfor's network or what actually was stolen, it appears that some members of the hacker collective Anonymous are taking credit for it. Relief agencies including CARE, Save the Children and the African Child Foundation reportedly received donations made with credit card information stolen from clients of the firm.
Hackers claiming to belong to the Anonymous hacking community broke into the servers of private think tank Stratfor over the holiday weekend.
They stole thousands of credit card numbers and other personal information, and also claim to have stolen the company's list of confidential clients. This includes organizations such as the United States Air Force and the Miami Police Department.
Stratfor announced the hack on its Facebook page, as well as on Twitter, but has denied that its confidential client list was lifted. The company has also warned that hackers are threatening those speaking out on its behalf against the attack.
Members of Anonymous are apparently divided over the hack.
