Anonymous hacker group claims attack on TN website | In Session

Anonymous, a fairly high-profile hacker group, says that it has taken personal data through a Tennessee government website in retaliation for a controversial cyber-bullying law.

The group claims to have taken “personal but not harmful” information, including phone numbers and addresses, in an attack on the TN.gov site over the July 4 weekend that it’s calling “Operation Tennessee.” The data is available here, but since this is a hacker website, click the download at your own risk.

Anonymous says the action is retaliation for a new law that extends the state’s harassment statutes to cover images and messages posted through social media sites. The law has been a hot topic in online discussions, with critics saying its overly broad definitions could be applied to practically anyone who publishes an offensive image online. The state’s attorney general has been asked to weigh in on the matter.
