Planned Parenthood has been hacked.

Late Sunday night, a group of hackers who oppose the healthcare nonprofit's abortion practices released Planned Parenthood's website databases as well as names and email addresses of the organization's employees.

The attack on Planned Parenthood follows a storm of controversy over the organization. Anti-abortion activists sparked the uproar earlier this month with the release of an edited video showing a Planned Parenthood director discussing the donation of fetus organs and tissue to medical research facilities, a legal but highly controversial practice.

One of the hackers, who goes by the pseudonym “E,” told the Daily Dot that the cyberattack was politically motivated.

2. Dammit!

There appears to be a planned full out assault on this organization. This cannot be tolerated and these attackers cannot be allowed to win. These hackers need to be apprehended and prosecuted.

3. "edited video"?? How about "distorted video used for a GOP co-ordinated smear with lies campaign"?

Seeing media should report the truth and all, like how about reporting on the real criminals, the Veritas thugs and GOP Lie Merchants?

How 'bout some karma and pushback?

20. Years ago I tried

to give the right-to-lifers the benefit of the doubt, thinking that if they truly believe they are "Christian" or taking the moral high ground they would at least work with us to support women's and children's healthcare, family planning, sex education and contraception, which would decrease abortions.

However for a long time it has been clear that these people will go to any lengths, including violence, to destroy any group which is working to give women and families the right to choose the best medical and health care for themselves and to improve born children's lives. They have no regard for the parents who want to bring children into a world where they will be loved, educated, given health care, and be kept out of prisons, with support from the whole community.

They are not just "anti-abortion", they are anti-women, anti-children, anti-contraception, anti-sex, and immoral.

[TexasBushwhacker]

23. Yup, pro-birth, not pro-life n/t

[trillion]

25. A 17 yo black girl who was 8 months pregnant was shot in the stomach in a drive by in my city

2 months ago and lost the baby. What did the right to lifers post on our local new site? They kept posting things like "good, one less welfare recipient" etc. They were massively racists and pro the baby being dead. Then they went right back to posting against abortion and throwing in Christianity and how our country was going down because we lost it, on the next article about an abortion law being struck down in another state.

21. Anti-abortion Terrorists is what they are.

[BlueJazz]

22. I'd like to talk to this Mr. "E"

[mercuryblues]

26. there you have it

One of the hackers, who goes by the pseudonym “E,” told the Daily Dot that the cyberattack was politically motivated.

Cyber terrorism. The hacker admitted it. Will the FBI have the guts to go after this person with as much zeal as they did the guy who hacked Palin's e-mail. Or will this fall the same way the rash of church burnings did last month? Which is to say, no leads, no proof.

27. Organizations need to go back to just keeping hard copy records

in a file cabinet in a super secure room.

Hackers are simply getting into everything. There just doesn't seem to be anyway to stop them.
