FBI Hacked, Again! Hacker Leaks Data After Agency Failed to Patch Its Site

It seems like the FBI has been hacked, once again! A hacker, using Twitter handle CyberZeist, has claimed to have hacked the FBI's website (fbi.gov) and leaked personal account information of several FBI agents publically.

CyberZeist had initially exposed the flaw on 22 December, giving the FBI time to patch the vulnerability in its website's code before making the data public. The hacker exploited a zero-day vulnerability in the Plone CMS, an Open Source Content Management software used by FBI to host its website, and leaked personal data of 155 FBI officials to Pastebin, including their names, passwords, and email accounts.

UPDATE

The FBI site intrusion involving the Plone CMS is both funny and alarming in equal measure. Such sites contain the public facing information of the agency and a few hundred accounts of the people involved in its updating. I'm former Infragard, from what I know of the FBI they are very strict about password discipline, and the intruder got nothing more than a roster of agency employees who do PR.

The hit on fbi.gov is the equivalent of the scene in Eight Mile where Eminem's character tags a police cruiser with a paintball gun. If you're old enough to dislike rap and haven't seen it, think of Joe Medicine Crow singing his honor song while riding away with the Schutzstaffel battalion's horses.

The bigger issue is the effect this has on those using Plone to power their web sites. Plone and industry leader WordPress were both created in 2003. During that time WordPress had 934 entries in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database. Plone had just 62. The tool corporations trust as the foundation for providing customer health care and financial data has a deadly flaw, and the Plone team has not yet identified it, much less repaired it.

Best line = ZERO proof:

“Judgments are not intended to imply that we have proof that shows something to be a fact. Assessments are based on collected information, which is often incomplete or fragmentary, as well as logic, argumentation, and precedents.”

We do not make this stuff up. The DNI just committed suicide.

03: Evaluative and contextual comments by others as they are obtained.

Final appraisal: Trump right, IC wrong, 5 strikes itemized below. Only 3 agencies (CIA, FBI, NSA) signed this report, not “all seventeen.” DHS notable for its absence.

Snowden: Truth Is Coming & It Cannot Be Stopped

Soon after Edward Snowden went public with his information that exposed the NSA’s secret spying program, Snowden spoke some words that still ring with curiosity in the ears of many:

“All I can say right now is the US Government is not going to be able to cover this up by jailing or murdering me. Truth is coming, and it cannot be stopped.”

Another look at Supreme Court Justice Scalia's death

I’m taking another look because I have a new statement about a related case: Melaney Parker, a woman found dead on the railroad tracks in Marfa, Texas, in 2013, after a train hit her. The same judge who inexplicably decided Scalia needed no autopsy, after he died in Texas, in 2016, came to the same conclusion in the Melaney Parker case. That Texas judge is Cinderela Guevara.

General George S. Patton was assassinated to silence his criticism of allied war leaders claims new book

“…after a decade-long investigation, military historian Robert Wilcox claims that OSS head General “Wild Bill” Donovan ordered a highly decorated marksman called Douglas Bazata to silence Patton, who gloried in the nickname “Old Blood and Guts”. His book, Target Patton, contains interviews with Mr. Bazata, who died in 1999, and extracts from his diaries, detailing how he staged the car crash by getting a troop truck to plough into Patton's Cadillac and then shot the general with a low-velocity projectile, which broke his neck while his fellow passengers escaped without a scratch.
