“Hackers Threaten Brazil’s World Cup”
February 26, 2014
SNIPPET: “SAO PAULO — Brazilian hackers are threatening to disrupt the World Cup with attacks ranging from jamming websites to data theft, adding cyber warfare to the list of challenges for a competition already marred by protests, delays and overspending.”
SNIPPET: “Most of the attacks are so called “phishing,” where users are redirected to fake sites of banks and firms and tricked into entering their credit card data. Online security firm Kaspersky said it is blocking between 40 and 50 fraudulent sites using the theme of the Cup daily.”

SNIPPET: “”We are already making plans,” said an alleged hacker who goes by the nom de guerre of Eduarda Dioratto. “I don’t think there is much they can do to stop us.”
Reuters contacted Dioratto and other self-proclaimed members of the international hacker network known as Anonymous by finding them online.”
