Crazy 'Anonymous' Security hack of HBGary Security Firm

If any of you have read or followed any of the story the HBGary security firm, I found this article awesome.  To explain, HBGary was hired to track down a group that has been taking out the websites of those trying to shut down wikileaks.org.  The firm found this group that they call 'Anonymous' and said they were about ready to announce and reveal these hackers.  Upon hearing this 'Anonymous' launched a large attack on the firm infiltrating all sorts of data they had including their government division HBGary Federal.  This article details how 'Anonymous' was able to perform such an attach and embarrass this group out to reveal them.  Here is the link: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2011/02/anonymous-speaks-the-inside-story-of-the-hbgary-hack.ars/2
