4Chan launches embarrassing attack on devout Christians on Facebook

We posted a relatively amusing screenshot earlier today which saw a highly embarrassing photo posted to someones Facebook profile. The photo initially seemed similar to a number of others we’ve posted over the last year or so, but after a little more digging, it appears there is a sinister underbelly to the photo and many others currently floating around the web.

It seems as though some of message-board site 4Chan.org’s (http://www.4chan.org/) elite has managed to acquire a list of Christian Facebook users and quite possibly their passwords too. In doing so, they’ve hacked a number of accounts, posted a number of extremely embarrassing photos and messages to Facebook walls, and then continued to comment under the shares – pretending to be the actual account owner.

One example is shown below, and their Facebook profile page is still public (http://www.facebook.com/jesuslust?v=wall&viewas=524032773&ref=sgm):

http://imgur.com/Q6umM.png

For the unaware, 4chan is a place where anyone can anonymously post messages, photos, links, thoughts and because of this, the site is often the source of a number of sinister threads, memes, contests and indeed, plans of attack.

4Chan is believed to have been the initiator of pornographic attacks on YouTube, DDOS attacks on Scientology’s website, hacking of Sarah Palin’s email account, a fake story submitted to CNN about Steve Job’s heart attack, and many many more.

What makes this very difficult to confirm is that 4Chan does not offer a search facility, and pages expire after a period of time – meaning the site is very often never held directly accountable for anything.

We do know that the hackers are impersonating the members, posting embarrassing images and messages, and sending private messages to many of their friends. Some of the private messages are equally vulgar, others seeming to try and help by asking friends to tell the account owner to change their password.

Update 1

It has been confirmed that at least one Christian university (http://www.adamdodge.com/esi/information_exposed/usernames_and_passwords) has had their server hacked and usernames and passwords stolen. It’s quite likely that many of these passwords are the same passwords used on Facebook, making it very easy for hackers to access the site.

Update 2

The list of leaked usernames and passwords is real and we have a copy. The list contains a list of email addresses and their passwords. Incidentally, the list appears to have originated from a Christian dating website.

Update 3

We managed to get hold of a folder full of similar screenshots of not just Facebook profiles, but email accounts and other social network profiles too. 4Chan, or whoever is definitely responsible, really went to town here. Some of the images posted are incredibly graphic and the language used used awful. There’s definitely some elements of humor involved, it is 4Chan after all, but many people are going to have a lot of explaining to do.

Update 4

It’s not just Facebook. More details here (http://thenextweb.com/2009/08/22/facebook-4chan-hack-christians-email-accounts-social-network-profiles/).

That sucks for her. She may be a bit odd. For example; Jesus lust is her log on name. But that crap is just stupid and mean. And screws up the spirit of the Internet.
Facebook was ruined when they started letting any ole rif-raf join. It should have remained affiliated and if anything became more verifiable.
I hope investigations come of this and some of the lower levels get popped.

Oh, PLU-EEZ! Since when does any social networking site have credibility? Sure, they may be a viable source to stay in touch with your immediate family, relatives or re-acquainting yourself with old high school fuck up friends but these places really serve as nothing more than being targeting demographics for advertisers and large corporations. Just how much money do you think Google rakes in on selling this information to the suits on Madison Ave from pop culture to food all by what millions of people say about their mundane lives freely on these sites? From MyWaste to FaceCrook - they are a questionnaire's wet dream of all sorts of data willfully given (whether you keep you lame profile private or not) by a bandwagon populace to stupid to know any better.

I agree to some extent. However, certain sites (that I am member of) do check the credentials of their members. You would be amazed at what just the minimal follow up can do. When Facebook excluded everyone that did not have a school account, it had some accountability. But, I didn't use it back then (nor do I really use it much now) it is a good place to organize to an extent ... well, it is kinda like a modern day news letter now.
And credibility only is as good as verifiable background of an identity.
Any mass grouping is subject to credibility issues. That why due diligence is necessary when dealing with crowds. It is just simply to what extent.

That is all true. But not only with google.

Say for instance you down load a toolbar (Michael Jackson/Joe jackson/Sony) , a game WoW, a enhanced video viewing gadget(Fox) who ever has access to that program or system is in. Or even social engineering, I like what was written in the Roth Journal. If a spy ware or other program is not used much by the general population it is not picked up by average security programs. Or worse, if the security system you happen to "guess it will work OK" has a conflict of ethical issues that computer is victim.

IMO, these and other security, crime related and predator potentials should have been addressed before the web was unyielded.
If your computer is connected to the net. It is vulnerable. But if you go outside your home or bring anything inside your home there is a vulnerability. Difference is there, most places have laws to protect.

There is no FDA for computer programs.

Most people do not have to deal with this, occasionally (OK regularly) a person might pick up a stalker. But generally those stalkers use open source spyware or hack tools that are caught by average security. But everybody does have to deal with an unethical large business or entity.

It is naive to think that the net will regulate itself. I myself, want predators caught and prosecuted.
Moreover, by people accountable for their actions.

That's why you use the least possible Google apps, and if you do at least use GMail - it's so good you really do have to use it. I mean, look at the other choices. Hotmail? No thanks - you have a Google account, where you can - allegedly - turn off your browsing history.

But yeah, don't go crazy on Google. Use it for search, and GMail. Nothing else. No purchases, no Google Answers, no browser, no desktop, etc... who needs that stuff anyway?

And for someone to really be "surprised" that Google knows info about them AFTER typing it in, is, well... stupid...

I'm sorry, but that's a douchebag thing to do to a group of people who don't bother anyone.

The only way I can see it justified if they're in the vein of Katydid and they're asking for it like she was.

While it's clear that this facebook member wasn't intending for this information to be made public, it's just not a good idea to be sending this type of information over the internet if one is worried about privacy.

The issue of if this lady made a mistake in formatting and sending the information or if she was the victim of someone screwing with her account would have been moot had she simply NOT POSTED IT IN THE FIRST PLACE. If she was the victim of hacking, obviously she didn't ask for it to happen and isn't to blame any more than a rape victim was "asking for it"...but why even take a chance on internet security or computer errors when transmitting information like that?

I mean, from what I read, Michael did a good job of cleaning her pipes. The LEAST he deserved is a phone call, rather than some tossed-off "thanks for the good fuck" message via facebook.

I'm surprise you wrote this, Terry. You're always spot on.

First of all, what makes you think she sent that message in the first place? If she was hacked, the hacker could've just made that up and written it. It doesn't have to be personal info.

However, and knowing full well that such things DO happen, I'm not really sure this was a hacker attack... unless the hacker knew the victim well, felt he was wronged and decide to indulge on a little revenge, it was probably the woman herself who wrote that.

I was working off the supposition that she had actually posted the messages in a private person-to-person exchange, and had either by mistake sent the message to a public wall post OR had those messages manipulated by a site hacker so they would be displayed publicly.

I mean, I guess someone could have hacked into her account and just made it all up and posted it to make it LOOK like she did it by accident, but it seems a bit far-fetched. Not to say it couldn't be done, but if one has the abilities to do THAT, I can think of far more lucrative uses for such hacking skills than just making someone look silly.

Or even on a simple revenge front, the prank is kind of weak...why hack in to create the appearance of someone who hadn't been laid in awhile having enjoyed a nice screw?

Teen Ashton Lundeby Charged as an Adult for Bomb Threats

By Kevin Poulsen July 8, 2009 | 7:33 pm | Categories: The Courts
A 16-year-old North Carolina boy arrested for allegedly making a bomb threat against Purdue University has been charged as an adult for that threat, and for threats against eight other schools and two FBI offices, the Justice Department announced Wednesday.

Ashton Lundeby allegedly staged bomb hoaxes from mid-2008 until his arrest last March. He’s charged with conspiring to make threats against Purdue, the University of North Carolina, Florida State University, Clemson University, Boston College and FBI offices in Colorado and Louisiana.

The indictment also accuses him of making a series of five more calls to high schools around the country on March 4, two days before his arrest.

“All will be cleansed.” Listen to the March 4, 2009 bomb threats

Lundeby’s mother, Annette Lundeby, admitted in an interview with Threat Level in May that her son was “Tyrone” — a notorious prank phone caller who performed for a live internet audience in exchange for PayPal donations. But she claimed that he was with her in church at the time of the Purdue hoax.

An former fan of “Tyrone” who helped police track him down told Threat Level that the prank caller had begun accepting donations in exchange for shutting down donors’ schools for a day with fake bomb threats — a charge reflected in the indictment.

According to prosecutors in South Bend, Indiana, where the case was filed, a federal judge granted a government motion to try the teenager as an adult — an unusual request from the feds that cleared the way for his indictment and the public release of his name. Lundeby is in custody.

Ashton Lundeby’s arrest stoked widespread outrage on the web after Raleigh, North Carolina’s WRAL-5 reported on the case, noting that the boy is a patriotic homeschooled student with an American flag bedspread. Much of the online fury was triggered by Annette Lundeby’s incorrect claim — uncritically reported by the station — that the boy was being held without any legal rights on the authority of the 2001 USA Patriot Act.

Accused Palin Hacker Says Stolen E-Mails Were Public Record

A surprise legal maneuver by the defense in the Sarah Palin hacking case could undermine key charges carrying the stiffest potential penalties.

A lawyer for the Tennessee college student charged with hacking into the Alaska governor’s Yahoo e-mail account last year says his client couldn’t have violated Palin’s privacy because a judge had already declared her e-mails a matter of public record.

“He’s not suggesting that e-mail can’t be private,” says Mark Rasch, a former Justice Department cybercrime prosecutor. “He’s saying this particular e-mail was not private or personal because of who she is and because it wasn’t intimate communication. ”

Additionally, photos that 20-year-old David Kernell allegedly obtained of Palin and her family were not private since the Palins are “the subjects of untold numbers of photo-ops,” the lawyer argued last week, in one of a slew of motions and memorandums attacking the government’s four-count federal indictment against Kernell.
Threat Level broke the story last September that a hacker had obtained unauthorized access to Palin’s Yahoo e-mail account — gov.palin@yahoo.com — by using publicly available information to reset her password to “popcorn.” The intruder then posted screenshots of Palin’s e-mail, as well as her new password, to a forum at 4chan.org under the handle “Rubico,” enabling other intruders to access the account. Bloggers quickly traced the name Rubico to an e-mail address that Kernell was known to use.

"It's been a pretty uphill battle getting advertisers to take us seriously and appreciate the community and the power it wields," he says.

But if 4chan's memes can cross into the mainstream, maybe moot can too. This year he spoke at conferences at Yale and MIT. He's even ready to reveal his real name: it's Christopher Poole, he tells me. He wouldn't be above cashing out for the right price, which is $580 million, which is what Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. paid for MySpace in 2005. "I try to work Murdoch into any interview I give," he says. "Rupert Murdoch? moot@4chan.org."

"This action was in no way related to the content at img.4chan.org; our focus was on protecting our customers from malicious traffic," AT&T said in a statement.

AT&T removed the blocks Sunday night, after the threat no longer existed. "We will continue to monitor for denial-of-service activity and any malicious traffic to protect our customers," the company said.

I have a Facebook page. And I post everything about my life!

NOT!

I do have a page, but I have no photo, and I used a fictitious name from a movie.

In fact, I have never signed up on any site ever using my real name. To do so is fucking stupid.

I dunno. During the last election to the european parliament, it was GRATE to harrass candidates I didn't like, using my real name. And I mean harrassment in a non-spam, non-cursing, semi-polite way, talking politics against real politicians, and sometimes even owning them! The difference is that they react on real names better than just anonymous comments from usernames...

Funniest thing didn't have much to do with politics though. One of the candidates put photos of him "chopping wood" and doing "real work in the wintertime". I noticed the big pile of wood behind him, the snow around it, didn't have any stepmarks, so I made comments about that. He may have chopped wood in the past, MAYBE, who knows, but at least in that photo it was all set up, to make him look better, and I caught him pants down! It was funny to see f.e. a husband of a former minister in Finland get pissed off, call me Sherlock, and rant me about it and other stuff...very funny.

I also sent him a song we wrote about him, and he made comments about the same thing, "going to real work now"...really funny.

The bad thing is that the candidate, a priest, did make the parliament...maybe it was because of my reputation, uhuhuhuhuhuhu

*****

Oh yeah...I still have my old website in the internet. I used to write my travel diary/diary there.

In my "personal file", I wrote Kuopio, SWEDEN, as my birthplace, as a joke. Riddler, a trolling "mastermind" at the Rogan boards found it years later, trying to beat me at the Rogan board. Guess who pwn3d who when the idiot didn't check out Kuopio is in Finland, and made long statements about Sweden being the asshole of the world etc...uhuhuhuhuh

Yeah, perhaps I was a bit overboard on saying it is stupid.

That would be saying all politicians, public officials and celebrities are stupid for putting their real name on the net.

Just that we have all seen so much crap go on where people have been stalked, harrassed, fucked with, had their identities stolen or were victimized because they put their real name, address, etc. on the net.

My bad.

I use FB and just recently started. I live thousands of miles from friends and family. It's nice to keep in touch that way.

Having said that other than generic information I have nothing of a personal nature on it, other than pictures of my friends and places I've been to here in Colorado.

The interesting question is: are we giving up on our freedom of speech and sociality when we have to censor our photos etc. because of pedophiles and nutheads? Did they win, somehow?

I think it's more a matter of choice - why not send our kid photos to our friends by private e-mail instead of Facebook, if we want to do that. Common sense, I guess it would be.

True. The same argument about 'them' winning could be applied to homies that prevent nice, decent white folks from walking safely through their 'hood'.

God just make it stop! I could give a shit less what some asshole movie star's every move is during a given day! Death to Twitter!

Me too. I hang out at sites that revolve around something I'm interested in like classic Van Halen, guitars, restoring old cars, airplanes, boats, ect... Over the years I've gotten a lot of good information for cheap off the internet and if you are trying to restore an antique car, it's invaluable for information and parts.

Shitter, Fuck Book, Myuglyface are such masturbation wastes of time. It looks like they have replaced the bathroom wall scriblings.

Actually a former college roomate of mine works for the FBI. He told me people just spill their guts on the internet and it makes their job much easier. Where they used to have to do a lot of investigation now is totaly readable and easily available. The can easily track the account back to where you are and if you are using wireless, the devices now have GPS locators and they can turn the microphone on. So high tech devices aren't what you want to say something stupid on. In fact, you will throw the powers that be for a bigger loop by going low tech.

If you look at consumer electronic devices these days they all have to meet certain certifications. Part of this certification is the device is designed to where it can be used to track and listen in on the user. They busted a kid several years ago in the middle of nowhere in Nevada by GPS locating him with his cell phone. The idiot was exploding bombs around the country. Since cell phones are putting pay phone out of business, everything will soon be traceable. No more making calls from a remote pay phone like the old phone freakers used to do.

The powers that be also want to get rid of cash. Cash empowers people and it's hard to trace. They want you to use a card. It's tracable, they can charge you fees and/or interest. They can shut off your source of money to punish you. They can if you have access to cash. They also can tax everything because accounts leaves a trail, cash is hard to follow.

Wow!
What a lot of disinformation there, Nit
But you go boy.
Yes, it is that big and scary,
You know, you should use comic-books as a trading commodity, it is even less traceable than cash and easier to put back on the market to buy more time on WoW. ;)

The original Spiderman issue probably will hold it's value longer than the US Dollar will. So you might have a point there. The key is to have the right comic books.

Oh, PLU-EEZ! Since when does any social networking site have credibility? Sure, they may be a viable source to stay in touch with your immediate family, relatives or re-acquainting yourself with old high school fuck up friends but these places really serve as nothing more than being targeting demographics for advertisers and large corporations. Just how much money do you think Google rakes in on selling this information to the suits on Madison Ave from pop culture to food all by what millions of people say about their mundane lives freely on these sites? From MyWaste to FaceCrook - they are a questionnaire's wet dream of all sorts of data willfully given (whether you keep you lame profile private or not) by a bandwagon populace to stupid to know any better.

I am totally friending you on fb

I tell ya. A big solar flare could take out our satalites and power grid and frankly most of society couldn't handle it. They would lose their fricken little minds with no text messaging, cell phone, computer, and electrically ran stuff. They would sit in the dark and cry like little babies.

Exactly, exactly! Hell, just a few weeks ago Twitter went down for several hours and there were news reports of people having Twitter withdrawals because they couldn't keep track of Ashton Kutcher taking his daily shit and running out of toilet paper. Modern conveniences and luxury items are creating a society full of spoiled little pussies that, like you said, wouldn't survive a few hours in the event of a worldwide catastrophe that permanently took away said items.

The internet could be gone tomorrow and I would be just fine without it. I can remember when there were no cell phones or internet and computers were well out of my family's price range, so I did without that, too. I survived just fine without all those conveniences, and I actually miss those days before all this modern technology, sometimes. Life was so much simpler back then.
