Amy Chozik for The New York Times - The online activist group known as Anonymous, which has taken aim at opponents of the Occupy Wall Street movement and businesses that stopped providing services to WikiLeaks, has set its sights on a new adversary: media executives.
Hackers have published the personal information of media executives at Time Warner (CNN, HBO) and the CBS Corporation (CBS, Showtime) over both companies’ support of the controversial Stop Online Piracy Act. Also included in the documents published by hackers was corporate contact information for the Walt Disney Company (ABC, ESPN), NBCUniversal (NBC, The Weather Channel), and Sony Pictures Entertainment.
