The Anonymous Wikileaks hackers have struck again, targeting online security firm HB Gary Federal and  CEO Aaron Barr.  Wikileaks hacktivists, particularly the group Anonymous, have played a central role in the Julian Assange saga and will be highlighted in the Wikileaks Movie (s). This week’s attack by Anonymous, a group inspired to defend Wikileaks, aimed at the HBGary Federal website, involved the theft of  a large number of email messages and also targeted the Twitter account of CEO Aarron Barr.  Anonymous is playing a strong role in the Wikileaks story. Along with the legal battles surrounding Julian Assange, a new battle front has been opened in cyberspace. How this cyberspace battle and these passionate, super-smart Anonymous Wikileaks hackers will be portrayed in the Wikileaks movie remains to be seen. While we’re on the topic here is a list of top hacker movies for you. These should spark your imagination about the role of the hacker in the Wikileaks movie.

“Hackers operating under the banner “Anonymous” took credit for breaking into the website of HBGary Federal, stealing tens of thousands of email messages and temporarily routing traffic to a page with a vitriolic message.

“You’ve tried to bite the Anonymous hand,” a copy of the message online Monday stated. “You angered the hive and now you are being stung.”

Efforts to visit HBGary’s website on Monday were met with an automated post saying the page was “under construction.”

Plundered email accounts included that of HBGary chief executive Aaron Barr, whose separate Twitter account was also reportedly compromised by someone who “tweeted” personal information about him and rude messages.
