sizes from 100 thousand dollars in BTC for those who hack banks and oil giants
According to an article published in Vice a few days ago that one of the most famous hackers in the world has decided to offer sizes from 100 thousand dollars to those who were able to puncture the sites of banks, oil giants and other large companies with unethical behavior taking from servers public utility information. Clearly, as anyone can understand, such a move would have been impossible to make using FIAT money but is instead made possible by bitcoin; the hacker in question is known under the pseudonym of Phineas Fisher and last Friday he published a new manifesto, called "Hunting program for hacktivists" in which he proposes to reward hackers with a size of 100 thousand dollars paid in bitcoin or monero . The idea is to pay other hackers who perform politically motivated hacks and that lead to the disclosure of documents of public interest; among the companies targeted by the hacktivist, the mining and livestock companies in South America, the Israeli spyware supplier NSO Group and the oil company Halliburton. In his manifesto, Phineas Fisher states that removing public utility documents from large corporations is undoubtedly the best way a hacker has to make his talent available to the community, while rewarding this type of activity is useful for encouraging more and more people to take this path; still within the same manifesto, Phineas Fisher claims to have violated an offshore bank and invited other hacktivists to join the fight against inequality and capitalism.
The hacker claimed that in 2016 they violated the Cayman Bank and Trust Company from the Isle of Man, an island between the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland to which he would steal not only money but also confidential documents and emails ; the article then reveals another trend, probably not known to the general public, stating that it is becoming increasingly common to rob banks of their servers, the reason why they are not talked about is that banks tend to keep it hidden, often preferring to omit to report the incident. Subsequently it then briefly outlines what we know about Phineas Fisher, one of the most influential and well-known hacktivists since Anonymous and LulzSec; in 2014 he was noted for having stolen internal data from the British-German surveillance provider Gamma Group, which distributes the controversial FinFisher spyware, in 2015 returned and raided the servers of Hacking Team, an Italian company that produced hacking software and surveillance for the police and intelligence agencies around the world, revealing all the secrets of the company, so in 2016 it pierced the Spanish police and the site of the party of Turkish President Erdogan. In all this the identity of Phineas Fisher has never been revealed by anyone, despite having been the subject of investigations in half the world.
