The Hackers Say They Will Donate Any Stolen Money To Charities Austin, TX -- A Texas man who spent more than a decade dealing with cybercrime at banks is now among the apparent victims of a hacking attack against a security contractor based in Texas. Hackers with the loosely-affiliated group known as "Anonymous" say they stole emails and credit card data from the company, Stratfor, and that it's the start of a week-long assault on a long list of targets -- inspired by Christmas. One hacker says the plan is to use the credit card data to steal a million dollars, and give the money away as Christmas donations. Images posted online claimed to show the receipts for the donations. Allen Barr of Austin -- who recently retired from the Texas Department of Banking -- says he discovered Friday that a total of $700 had been spent from his account. He says five transactions were made, with the money going to charities including the Red Cross, CARE and Save the Children. The hackers also posted a link on Twitter to a site containing the email, phone number and credit number of a US Homeland Security employee. Associated Press digtriad.com
