-

In total, Anonymous leaked 285,635 confidential emails belonging to the Nauru Police Force of the tiny Nauru Island infamously known for being used by Australia as an offshore refugee detention center in return for aid. 

 On Monday, May 2nd, 2022, the Anonymous collective released 82GB worth of emails apparently belonging to the Nauru Police Force. According to Anonymous, the data leak was in protest against the alleged ill-treatment of asylum seekers and refugees carried out by Island authorities on behalf of the Australian government. 

 For your information, Nauru is a tiny island country in Micronesia, northeast of Australia infamously known for being used by Australia as an offshore refugee detention center in return for aid. 

 As seen by the media, the total number of leaked emails is 285,635 and available for direct and torrent download through the official website of “Enlace Hacktivista,” a platform that aims to “Document hacker history.” 

 Although the media could not analyze the trove of emails, in a statement, Anonymous explained that the leaked confidential emails contain details related to abuses that the Nauru Police Force and the Australian government tried to cover up. The 

  statement also calls for the end  of compulsory migrant detention policies and the permanent closure of migrant detention facilities, including Nauru Island. 

 Anonymous also urged authorities to begin investigating all allegations of abuse at the Immigration Detention Center and pay victims life compensation.

So I decided to hack Nauru police, who had been entrusted with guarding the island by the Australian government  and received 285,635 confidential emails related to the abuse they tried to hide. 

 The Republic of Nauru has previously denied reports of torture, sexual assault and child abuse on the island. Can I reject this even if all  emails are  open? 

 What we saw and read made us sick. We request the newly elected Government of Australia to: 

-End compulsory migrant detention policy and completely close migrant detention facilities including Nauru Island by the end of 2022. 

-Permanent residence will be granted to all asylum seekers, including  124 displaced from Manus Island. 

 ~ Investigate all allegations of abuse in  immigration prisons and pay victims lifetime repairs. 

 Anonymous!

Taking Twitter up, EmmaBest, co-founder of the nonprofit  DDoSecretsDistributed Denial of Secrets,  confirmed the leak. Best also announced that huge data dumps are also available in DDoSecrets. 

 Meanwhile, @YourAnonNews, one of the leading anonymous social media representatives, also tweeted about the data breach: "Anonymous hackers from Nauru Island immigration camp police, asylum seekers and refugees Scott Morrison. (Prime Minister of Australia since August 24, 2018) has been recorded in a continuous portfolio. "

 @AnonOpsSE, another prominent representative of the anonymous group, tweeted. Nauru police record the situation on the island and the abuses suffered by asylum seekers and refugees. 

 At the time of publication of this article, there were no comments from  Nauru police or Australian authorities.

#$1.5M phishing scam

  The US Department of Justice has convicted a Nigerian national of participating in a business email compromise (BEC) scam worth $1.5 million. The Feds say Ebuka Raphael Umeti, 35, perpetuated the scam with two alleged partners in crime, using a combination of social engineering and malicious software to pull off the million-dollar BEC scheme. A BEC fraud involves phishing emails and deception to get businesses and organizations to send money or valuable data to attackers, usually over email. According to the DoJ, Umeti got involved in BEC scams as early as February 2016, when one of his alleged co-conspirators, fellow Nigerian national Franklin Ifeanyichukwu Okwonna, is said to have sent Umeti a phishing email template. The collaborators started to see success in 2018, siphoning $571,000 from a New York wholesaler and $400,000 from a Texan metal supplier. In the following years, the scammers started domain spoofing, signed up for VoIP numbers, and communicated over the gaming-focused

#Microsoft's AI boss thinks it’s perfectly OK to steal content if it's on the open web

  Microsoft AI boss Mustafa Suleyman incorrectly believes that the moment you publish anything on the open web, it becomes “freeware” that anyone can freely copy and use. When CNBC’s Andrew Ross Sorkin asked him whether “AI companies have effectively stolen the world’s IP,” he said: I think that with respect to content that’s already on the open web, the social contract of that content since the ‘90s has been that it is fair use. Anyone can copy it, recreate with it, reproduce with it. That has been “freeware,” if you like, that’s been the understanding. Microsoft is currently the target of multiple lawsuits alleging that it — and OpenAI — are stealing copyrighted online stories to train generative AI models, so it may not surprise you to hear a Microsoft exec defend it as perfectly legal. I just didn’t expect him to be so very publicly and obviously wrong! I am not a lawyer, but even I can tell you that the

#This man used Fake Wi-Fi Scam on Domestic Flights

  An Australian man has been charged with running a fake Wi-Fi access point during a domestic flight with an aim to steal user credentials and data. The unnamed 42-year-old "allegedly established fake free Wi-Fi access points, which mimicked legitimate networks, to capture personal data from unsuspecting victims who mistakenly connected to them," the Australian Federal Police (AFP) said in a press release last week. The agency said the suspect was charged in May 2024 after it launched an investigation a month earlier following a report from an airline about a suspicious Wi-Fi network identified by its employees during a domestic flight. A subsequent search of his baggage on April 19 led to the seizure of a portable wireless access device, a laptop, and a mobile phone. He was arrested on May 8 after a search warrant was executed at his home. The individual is said to have staged what's called an evil twin
