Last week Aaron Barr, a top executive at corporate computer security firm HB Gary, boasted to the Financial Times that his firm had started to expose individuals supporting Anonymous, a leaderless group of anyone who, while unaffiliated with, are defending WikiLeaks from cyber attacks, and who have helped the revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt.  For instance, when the Internet was shut down in Egypt, fax machines still operated.  So Anonymous starting faxing thousands of diplomatic cables concerning Egypt to fax machines all across the country.

The other day, in response to Mr. Barr's comments, Anonymous hacked into HB Gary, and released 50,000 corporate emails to the public.  Among the emails released, was a plan for a disinformation campaign devised for Bank of America to attack Wikileaks.
