President's Day: Hack The State Department

Under the flag of "Operation Last Resort," Anonymous announced in February 2013 that it had leaked credentials for 4,000 U.S. banking executives that had been obtained after hacking into a Federal Reserve System designed for contacting banks in the event of national emergencies or disasters.

For Presidents' Day, meanwhile, it had hacked into a U.S. State Department system, and doxed the agency by leaking what appeared to be work email addresses for more than 170 U.S. State Department employees. In a separate attack, Anonymous also said it had doxed the investment banking firm George K. Baum & Company, and released what appeared to be 150 customer records via ZeroBin.
