Anonymous Hacks Bank Execs’ Info; "Operation Last Resort" Anchored By Aaron Swartz Tragedy

Anonymous and its “Operation Last Resort” appear to have conducted another strike, publishing login and private info of more than 4,000 U.S. bank executives. The effort is believed to be anchored by the death of Aaron Swartz . A spreadsheet has been published allegedly containing login information and credentials, IP addresses, and contact information of bank executives. If true, it could be that the infamous hacker collaborative has released banker information that could be connected to Federal Reserve computers. The website used in this attack belongs to the Alabama Criminal Justice Information Center (ACJIC). The page extension URL is titled, “oops-we-did-it-again.” The spreadsheet document contains usernames, names of individuals and their titles at U.S. banks, and hashed passwords (not passwords in plain text). It was placed on a .gov website and Pastebin, and publicized via various Anonymous accounts on social media. A Reddit member called the numbers and commented: “OK, I called a few of them. What must be so problematic for the Federal Reserve is not the information so much as this file was stolen from their computers at all.” “The ramifications of that kind of loss of control is severe.” Banks listed on the document claim credentials from management at community banks, community credit unions, and more, across the United States. So what’s the impetus behind this new leak? Anonymous stated in its first Operation Last Resort defacement last Friday that it had infiltrated multiple federal websites over a period of time. The significance of Monday, February 4 may be that it is deadline for Attorney General Eric Holder to answer specific questions regarding the Aaron Swartz prosecution. The Reddit co-founder’s prosecution – and suicide, which many believe was brought upon by the fact that he was wanted on federal charges  – enraged Anonymous. The group called the event “a line that has been crossed” and suggested retaliation for what they believe was the overzealous prosecution and bullying of Swartz.

My name is Allie and I live in Birmingham, Alabama so when I saw…

My name is Allie and I live in Birmingham, Alabama so when I saw that Justin would be coming here again on the Believe Tour I knew I had to get tickets. My best friend, her little brother, sister and I got tickets. The countdown began. What I didn’t know is a few months later in LA I would meet Justin at a restaurant. That was amazing and I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience . All I wanted was for Emily and her sister Allie to meet Justin and was doing everything I could to make it happen. Brad (Hoogs) and Scooter had promised the 3 of us meet and greets way back in 2011 so we figured they had forgotten by now. That didn’t stop us from DMing them though. As the date got closer to the concert date we had friends tweeting them but it seemed like no matter what, they just didn’t see our dms or tweets. The Monday before the concert I was getting my nails done and my phone buzzed. It was a DM from Brad telling me they left 3 passes under my name. I immediately started screaming and the whole salon was staring at me like I was crazy. I called Emily and told her the good news. Turns out she was walking through campus and started running because she was freaking out. I then called her little sister Allie to tell her. This is her reaction . The day of the concert we woke up and went to the BJCC. We were some of the first ones there and it was raining and cold but we didn’t care. Our main goal was for the crew to see the gift we got Justin. It was two pair of boxers that were monogrammed with “Jerry” on them. Although we have gotten a lot of hate for them, we thought they were funny and got him other stuff too. Scrappy came out and we talked to him. When we showed him the gift he started laughing and shaking his head and said, “You guys are ridiculous.” We had dmed Michael Vargas to come out because we had hung out at his apartment before and wanted to catch up. He came out at we talked for a while. A little later Kenny came out and let me just say, he is the best! He looked at them, pointed and said, “Well that is inappropriate,” with that big smile on his face and started laughing. At this point we were soaked from the rain and went inside the hotel that was connected to change. The whole time we had been trying to figure out if we could somehow get Michael, Emily’s little brother, a M&G but it didn’t look like it would happen. I went and picked up our wristbands and then the amazing Lisa worked a miracle and got Michael a wristband too. He was so excited! We stood in line for a long time because Justin was running late.  I actually got to meet the Make A Wish girls Justin was going to meet with. Seeing them so happy made me smile so much thanks to Justin. We were put in a group with these two girls Annie and Jordan! They were so sweet and it was actually Jordan’s birthday! As we were waiting, Tay walked by and we showed him the boxers. He grabbed them and said, “These are awesome, can I give them to him?!” Of course we said yes. The closer we got the more nervous I was. When the curtain opened, we saw Justin and I suddenly wasn’t nervous anymore. He started smiling and said, “Hey guys.” Emily went and hugged him and then I did too. We all gathered around to take the picture. I look super weird in it cause Annie wasn’t down enough but its okay. After the picture I hugged Justin again and as I was hugging him he was rubbing my back. We were shoved out by security guards. As we were walking out I said, “We love you Justin.” He got a big smile on his face and then I was pushed through a curtain. I cannot thank Brad and Lisa enough! -@alliehaywood Originally posted here: My name is Allie and I live in Birmingham, Alabama so when I saw…

Ex Files: Floyd Mayweather Jr. Babymama Josie Admits That They’ve Gotten It In Since He’s Been Engaged And Says His Fiance Shantel Was A Sidepiece

Going from the mistress to the main thang always comes with messy consequences.. Floyd Mayweather’s Ex Says His New Fiance Was The Mistress Who Broke Them Up Earlier this week, BOSSIP was in the building as the cast of TLC’s upcoming ‘Starter Wives Confidential’ reality show held a screening for the first episode to give a sneak peek at what to expect from this cast full of high school sweethearts and ride-or-die divas that go way back with the likes of some prominent men in professional sports, music and radio. Among this crew of drama-filled frenemies is Josie Harris, who is the ex-fiance and baby’s mother of famed boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. She briefly made headlines last summer as the battered babymama who pressed domestic abuse charges against Floyd that led him to roughly 60 days behind bars for reportedly puttin’ them paws on her in front of their kids . Josie says she’s since forgiven Floyd, and when asked during the Starter Wives Confidential Q&A when the last time was that she bust it open in the bedroom for her ex boxer-boo, she casually replied: “It’s been a few months.” She also shed some light on Floyd’s current fiance Shantel Jackson , letting the crowd know during the Q&A that Shantel was “the mistress” while she and Floyd were still together and also adding this: “I was his best friend from the beginning. He wants to revert to [Miami] Dade County (Josie’s nickname for Shantel), I’ll still be here to hold him down as a friend.” Needless to say, it doesn’t seem like the one-time future Mrs. Mayweather is interested in staying quiet behind the scenes anymore….

Pure Comedy: Darnell Dockett Says He Could Pull Katherine Webb But Prefers Broads With “Bullet Holes And Stab Wounds!”

Remember when NFL baller Darnell Dockett got clowned on Twitter for trying to take Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron’s girlfriend? Now he says she’s not his type! Via DailyMail : When Arizona Cardinals defensive end Darnell Dockett asked Katherine Webb out to a str!p club during her now famous appearance on ESPN, he met the wrath of her quarterback boyfriend. And Dockett will no doubt enrage Webb’s beau, Alabama player A.J. McCarron, once more – after he claimed: ‘I would have got her if I really wanted her.’ Speaking on a Phoenix radio show, Dockett also said 23-year-old Webb, who is the reigning Miss Alabama, is not his type, joking that he liked girls ‘with a couple stab wounds [or] bullet holes’. I’m not into the thinner girls and the modeling thing like that. I like hood chicks. I like girls with a couple stab wounds, bullet holes, been knocked up a few times… I like girls who you know have bad credit when they’re 21.’ He added that the Twitter messages were just a joke. ‘I was just laughing at people responding because people were really thinking that I was gonna put my number on Twitter,’ he said. ‘Anybody that knows Darnell Dockett – the real me, not just the football player – anyone that knows me personally knows there is never a dull moment in my life… I’m always thinking of the next trick.’ He went on: ‘She’s a very beautiful girl… I just wanted to take her out of her rich environment and bring her to get some of these garlic wings and barbecue wings and go see a few strippers and things like that so she can appreciate what she’s doing.’ Webb, who has since had jobs offers from reality television shows and Donald Trump, did not take the tweets so light-heartedly, however. ‘That is not attractive at all,’ she told Esquire. ‘It’s very disrespectful and A.J. did not like it at all. Clearly, the news says I’m his girlfriend, so it’s very inappropriate for another guy to tweet me and purposely try and create drama.’ Homegirl needs to lighten up! Some folks take themselves way too seriously. More hilarious pictures from Dockett’s Twitter feed and the full audio of his interview with Xtra Sports 910 AM below.

Fawk You, Pay Me: Kimmy Cakes Demands Kris Humphries Pay Her Legal Fees Since He Refuses To Finalize Divorce Unless She Admits It Was A Fraud

Kim Kardashian Demands Kris Humphries Pay Her Legal Fees For Dragging Out Divorce The divorce drama between Kimmy Cakes and her future ex-bitter baller boo Kris Humphries seems to be getting messier by the minute. Even thought both parties have moved on to other relationships and even though the marriage only lasted a mere 72 days, the Dumped Hump insists on being the wet blanket that won’t go away. via Huffington Post In conjunction with legal handlings that have been drawn out since their October 2011 separation, Kim Kardashian is now saying she wants ex-husband Kris Humphries to pay for her hefty attorney fees. Because Humphries refuses to officially divorce Kardashian unless she acknowledges his claims that their marriage was a fraud, there’s a chance the couple technically will still be married at the time the reality star gives birth to her and boyfriend Kanye West’s baby in June — and Kardashian is none too pleased about that. But while people close to Humphries reportedly are urging him to settle the case and walk away, Kardashian is demanding that the Nets player take care of her lawyer’s bill after putting her through this ordeal for a year and a half. TMZ reports that no evidence has been presented that legitimizes Humphries’ claims. Kardashian feels her 72-day former flame is being “spiteful and vindictive.” Are we the only ones who think this is all getting a little ridiculous on the Hump’s part? While he’s definitely entitled to make sure he doesn’t get screwed over with the divorce settlement, is he not just as ready for this all to be over as Kim is?

Quote Of The Day: Katherine Webb Proud To Be Called ‘The Anti-Kim Kardashian,’ “America Appreciated How Classy I Was!”

This Katherine Webb is ready to straight “Roll Tide” right over Kimmy Cakes! Known as Miss Alabama and University of Alabama QB A.J. McCarron’s girlfriend, Webb was recently asked to pose for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, out next month. Check out her interview with SI below: SI.com: How surprised were you to get the call from Sports Illustrated? Webb: I was completely dumbfounded. It was so shocking to me because literally overnight I go from being AJ’s girlfriend and going to support him in the championship game to being on every major media news outlet. It’s just so surprising to me. I don’t know what God has planned, but obviously he’s working on something. When Sports Illustrated called it just became even more real that this is happening. Every single model wants to be in Sports Illustrated, and I feel extremely blessed to have that opportunity. SI.com: So it’s safe to assume you said yes right away when you got the call? Webb: Oh, my gosh. Absolutely. I’ve been approached by different publications, but I think a lot of America appreciated how classy I was, and I got a lot of responses saying I was America’s sweetheart and all that kind of stuff. I’m from Alabama and I have morals and I have class. That’s my personality. A lot of people have said I’m the anti-Kim Kardashian and I’m all right with that. SI.com: Well, Kim Kardashian has done all right for herself. Webb: She made herself into who she is and that’s fine and all that. But I guess the way I want to go about all this is, I just want to have a positive image for myself. I want girls to be able to look up to me and to say, “I want to be just like her one day.” That’s what I did as Miss Alabama and I loved that. SI.com: How long have you done modeling? Webb: I’ve done modeling since I was 18, but it didn’t take off until I moved to Los Angeles. Modeling has always been something I’ve been really good at, and has been something that’s helped pay bills. And it’s something I enjoy doing, as well. Every model wants to be successful in her career, so for Sports Illustrated to reach out to me is just amazing. I couldn’t be anymore blessed. SI.com: Take me through Monday night. You’re at the game, it got boring quickly, although maybe not for you, but for most people, and then a wave of buzz happens from Brent Musburger’s comments to your Twitter blowing up. What was that night like? Webb: I don’t think it became real to me until after I left the stadium and a reporter walked up to me and asked if I realized what was happening, because my phone was dead, so I had no idea what was going on. He was like, “Do you realize you are the star of the game?” I was like, “No, what are you talking about?” So he told me the cameras focused on me and AJ’s mom and I had over 100,000 Twitter followers, and I was like “Wait a minute, are you serious?” SI.com: Did you get a chance to at least celebrate Alabama’s win? Webb: Yeah. Afterward, all the football players went back to the hotel where they were staying. I left immediately and went straight to the hotel. By then, I had charged my phone, so I kinda knew what was happening. Immediately after I stepped out of the car and walked into the hotel, I had people come up to me asking me for autographs and asking me to sign memorabilia, and that stuff is now being sold on eBay. But we did end up celebrating all night. I didn’t get any sleep. I didn’t close my eyes for 24 hours. SI.com: With newfound fame comes a downside. What’s been the best and worst part of this week? Webb: I’ve realized you’re not going to please everyone and you’re not going to appeal to everyone and show who you are to everyone. That’s one of the downsides. But the upside is that one thing I want to do is be a good role model. Hollywood has such few good role models and I partially feel like this is why this has happened for me, and I really want to promote that and do good for others. SI.com: What has it been like to be an Auburn grad dating an Alabama student? Can you even walk around the Auburn campus anymore? Webb: Luckily, I graduated in May 2011, so I haven’t had a reason to go back on campus unless it’s been for a football game. I’ve had a little bit of backlash from Auburn, and I understand. Auburn and Alabama have one of the biggest rivalries in all of college football. But I lived in Los Angeles and there aren’t a lot of great guys in L.A., so for me to find someone who has a good, humble heart and who is amazing and treats me so well, that’s a really special find for me. At the end of the day, football is just a game. I don’t care if he’s from Alabama or wherever, I don’t pay attention to the rivalry when it comes to my personal relationship. SI.com: So what else is next for you? Webb: I’ve had opportunities to do hosting and some television shows. But right now I’m just going along for the ride and seeing what happens. But at the end of the day, my relationship with AJ is what’s important and if this stuff is going to hinder the relationship, then I don’t have a problem saying no to certain things, especially if they’d embarrass me or his family. Are you happy for Katherine Webb’s newfound success? Does it seem like she’s hating on Kimmy Cakes and Hollyweird to you? What do you think of her interview with SI — Pure Comedy or Ho Sit Down?

Katherine Webb Bikini Pics: Coming to Sports Illustrated?

Sorry, AJ McCarron. But we’ll soon be seeing what you see every night before bed. Almost. Katherine Webb – the 23-year old Miss Alabama who is dating the Tide quarterback and whose fame has sky-rocketed this week after Brent Musberger gushed over her good looks on ESPN – Tweeted the following great news yesterday: “It’s official…shooting with Sports Illustrated! #Blessed.” Considering the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition comes out next month, and considering the evidence above of how well Webb wears one of these, it’s hard to imagine Katherine Webb bikini photos aren’t on the way. SCORE! Following Alabama’s win over Notre Dame and the aforementioned Musberger verbal boner on-air, ESPN issued an apology for the announcer’s actions. But Webb appeared on The Today Show and told Matt Lauer it wasn’t necessary. Heck, it’s not like she was insulted! “I don’t see why any woman wouldn’t be flattered by that,” she said of Musberger’s comments. “I don’t take any offense to it at all.”

Britney Spears’ Return to The X Factor: Still in Doubt

Will Britney Spears be back for Season 3 of The X Factor? Rumors are swirling that Britney will be fired as a judge , exiting the total mess of a show alongside L.A. Reid. But Fox president Kevin Reilly says he’s not sure. “For next year, I don’t know,” Reilly he said of Spears’ return, but said “yeah” when asked if he was on board to bring the 31-year-old megastar back. However, executive producer and lead judge Simon Cowell is currently on vacation and “hasn’t talked about any of this going forward,” Reilly admits. As for how he feels about her performance during this past season, Reilly says , “I actually thought it went very, very well. It was fraught with unknowns.” “I think Britney did a really good job.” “People got to know her a little bit, maybe some people were waiting for more drastic displays of some nature that never came…She tucked in really nicely on that bench.” “People remain fascinated by her and always will be.” Demi Lovato ‘s future on the show is equally unclear. Back in December, Cowell revealed to us that he hadn’t yet made a decision about Britney Spears returning. “I don’t know yet, to be honest with you,” he said. Though the second season garnered less than stellar ratings, Reilly says, “Last year the ratings were better, but I think it was a better show this year.” “I thought The X Factor was excellent this year.” That makes one person at least.
