ImageShack is one of the most popular image hosting service in the cyber world. News has been somehow leaked that it had been hacked. The people or the group said to be involved in the hacking are the members of the Anti-Sec Movement, who are staunchly dedicated to the eradication of “full disclosure”.
The members of Anti-Sec Movement, who had hacked the world’s largest image hosting site, played around with their own ideas and decided to replace the images uploaded by users with that of their own, which is supposedly the image of the manifesto of ‘their movement’. The entire visual display is rounded off with the message “no images were harmed in the making of this.. image.”
The members of the Movement have introduced themselves to the world in order to let the people know what they aim to achieve by the initiation of their movement. The common claim of the Movement is that “full disclosure is the disclosure of exploits publicly - anywhere.” In the image that they have put up on the ImageShack site, the activists say that (blaming) the security industry for making profit due to “full-disclosure”. The “rebels” claim that the security industry has come up with “scare tactics” that were intended to make the public purchase anti-virus software and firewalls.
Latest updates seem to suggest that YFrog, the lightweight image hosting service from ImageShack also appears to be affected due to the victorious conquests of the Anti-Sec “usurpers”. Well, with their daring “heist”, the members surely have managed to across loud and clear the gist of their intention.

0-day exploit founded in OpenSSH is private , so security vendors can’t patch or fix the vuln . The current reality of underground is tragic, full disclosure is tragic. The closure of information and help to script kiddies is the way. Underground must be closed and elitist. See the past to live present.
