So guys here comes another major group being knows as THE LEGION .After a couple of high-profile hacks,
which even saw Rahul Gandhi losing access to his Twitter account and emails ,they also took down Twitter accounts of Barkha Dutt, Vijay Mallya and now are going after Lalit Modi.They also Threatened that if any of their members got caught by the ID ,they will be releasing 1 tb of Confidential data. They have become active on Twitter and are supposedly threatening everyone in India who they believe is corrupt. FROM THEIR HACKS IT SEEM THAT THEY ARE QUITE PROFESSIONAL BLACK HATS .
More info - Delhi Police, which is probing the
Rahul Gandhi hack, claims that
according to Twitter his account was
accessed from five countries: United
States, Sweden, Canada, Thailand and
Romania. Some have theorised that
this means the Legion hackers are
based in five countries. It is possible
but extremely unlikely. The IP
addresses came from several places
because that is how Tor browser or
proxy sites work, by bouncing the
traffic through various servers to
obfuscate its origin. This is fairly
common, especially among the nerd
types, to hide their internet traffic
through Tor.
So far Legion is not talking about
who they are. But the way they are
hacking, and the way they are
talking on Twitter, these are savvy
hackers. They won't be in the league
of what some state agencies employ
-- think the TAO inside US spy agency
NSA -- but they seem as good as the
eastern European hackers who often
attack companies, steal data and
then seek ransom. It's just that in this
case, these guys seem to be dumping
the data out in public.
