Anonymous takes on BART– FCC joins the fray
“Sooner or later the people in this country gotta realize the government does not give a fuck about them. The government doesn’t care about you, or your children, or your rights, or your welfare, or your safety, it simply doesn’t give a fuck about you. It’s interested in its own power, that’s the only thing, keeping it and expanding it wherever possible.”

Dear Bay Area Rapid Transit, The People and All Government Agencies,
“We are Anonymous, we are your citizens, we are the people, WE DO NOT TOLERATE OPPRESSION FROM ANY GOVERNMENT AGENCY”, continuing…
“BART has proved multiple times that they have no problem exploiting and abusing the people.
“First they displayed this by the two recent killings by BART police.
“Under no circumstance, unless police are shot at, make police killings acceptable. Non-lethal weapons were available to use during both incidents, providing even that was necessary, but instead they shot to kill. Next they violated the people’s right to assembly and prevented other bystanders from using emergency services by blocking cell phone signals in order to stop a protest against the BART police murders.
“Lastly, they set up this website called mybart.gov and they stored their members information with virtually no security.
“The data was stored and easily obtainable via basic sqli. Any 8 year old with a internet connection could have done what we did to find it. On top of that none of the info, including the passwords, was encrypted.
“It is obvious BART does no give a fuck about its customers, funders and tax payers,THE PEOPLE.
The governments and government agencies of the world are becoming tyrannical and oppressive, and the people are responding and will not take your shit for much longer. The people will fight this oppression with protests, demonstrations, riots, hacking, ddos, online attacks and by any other means. We will not allow ourselves to be killed, exploited, or get shitted on. From the streets of Chile, England, Portland, San Francisco, Oakland, the people are rising up and we will support each other and stand in solidarity against any injustice. Worldwide resistance is happening, we will participate in solidarity against oppression. SOLIDARITY IS OUR WEAPON.
“Thus below we are releasing the User Info Database of MyBart.gov, to show that BART doesn’t give a shit about it’s customers and riders and to show that the people will not allow you to kill us and censor us. This is but the one of many actions to come. We apologize to any citizen that has his information published, but you should go to BART and ask them why your information wasn’t secure with them. Also do not worry, probably the only information that will be abused from this database is that of BART employees.
The Federal Communications Commission confirmed Monday night that it will investigate San Francisco’s Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) over its decision to shut down cell service in advance of a planned protest.
But, the FCC says it’s is stepping in.
“Any time communications services are interrupted, we seek to assess the situation,” the FCC said in a statement, Quoted by PC Magazine, going on “We are continuing to collect information about BART’s actions and will be taking steps to hear from stakeholders about the important issues those actions raised, including protecting public safety and ensuring the availability of communications networks.”
But, “The Communications Act of 1934 bans cell phone jamming technology because it might disrupt legitimate cell phone traffic as well as emergency radio communications. The process, described as ‘maliciously interfering with the radio communications of any station licensed or authorized under the Act,’ could result in fines starting at $11,000.”
BART apparently did not use jamming technology, though full details are still sketchy. The organization said it “temporarily interrupted service at select BART stations as one of many tactics to ensure the safety of everyone on the platform.” That included having BART staff and contractors shut down power to the nodes and alerting wireless providers after the fact, according to a blog post from the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
The blockade was in response to planned protests over a recent shooting involving a BART officer.
But “whether it’s BART or the cell phone carriers that were responsible for the shut-off, cutting off cell phone service in response to a planned protest is a shameful attack on free speech,” the EFF said.
BART insisted that cell phone service was not disrupted outside its stations, and pointed out that intercoms and courtesy phones were still operational in areas where service was blocked.
“Paid areas of BART stations are reserved for ticketed passengers who are boarding, exiting or waiting for BART cars and trains, or for authorized BART personnel,” BART said. “No person shall conduct or participate in assemblies or demonstrations or engage in other expressive activities in the paid areas of BART stations, including BART cars and trains and BART station platforms.”
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), however, told PC Magazine “BART is the first known government agency in the United States to block cell service in order to disrupt a political protest.” The organization called on its supporters to voice their opposition via an online petition to BART officials. “The idea that the government can shut down an entire communications network just because it doesn’t like what people are saying on it is an insult to our constitutional protections for free speech,” the ACLU said.
Last night, supporters of hacktivist group Anonymous staged a protest in San Francisco, forcing police to shut down several BART and Muni underground stations.
Say the anonymous protesters >>>
“Greetz to TeaMp0ison, lulzsec, anti-sec, anarchists, anon, bay of rage, No Justice, No BART, UA in the bay,” adding…
“World Wide Solidarity, join us to make 2011 the year of leaks and revolutions.”
