The hacker group "Legion" that
broke into the Twitter accounts of the Congress Party, its Vice President Rahul
Gandhi, controversial liquor baron Vijay Mallya and now TV journalists Barkha
Dutt and Ravish Kumar has finally come out in the open. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
In an interview with The Washington Post on Monday -- through an encrypted
instant-messaging software, "Legion" said the group has access to
servers like that of Apollo Hospitals and it was unsure about releasing data
from those servers because it might cause "chaos" in India.
"Legion wasn't even interested in
'political data' until a few weeks ago. ...the group was in possession of
several terabytes of raw data concerning all sorts of 'interests' and that
within that trove the hackers had identified gigabytes worth of information
relating to Indian public figures," the report quoted the user marked LC
from "Legion Crew" as saying.
"When I asked him how they came
into possession of so much data, he was vague, and said they just ended up with
access to over 40k+ servers in India, 'and we decided -- hey, why not write a
tool to sift through them for interesting data'," said Max Bearak who
writes about foreign affairs for the Washington Post. The Total Investment & Insurance

"He said the data was choosing the
targets for them, not the other way around. Whatever they were finding, they
aimed to release. From Dutt's Twitter account, they shared a link to a
'partial' data dump of approximately 1.2 gigabytes of her emails," Bearak
said.
"Legion" has warned that their
next target is former IPL Chairman Lalit Modi.
"As for upcoming targets, LC
indicated that he and his fellow hackers had their sights set on bigger
things," the report said. The

"Then again, he said, the hacking
was taking away from precious time he'd rather spend doing drugs and making
electronic music... He said he particularly disliked spending time in India's
capital, New Delhi, and suggested that he might try to go to Russia -- to do
some more drugs," it added.
As they hacked the Twitter accounts from
India, the group sought public support claiming that they will be doing more
such cracking in the coming weeks. The

"Support Legion. We will bring you
the info needed to bring these criminals to justice," it said.
"This is just a partial dump. More
data will be coming over the course of a few days ;) We are Legion,"
another tweet from the shadowy group said.The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
