Anonymous hacks Monsanto computers;
Hacking group Anonymous has posted information on 2,500 Monsanto employees and associates, and claimed credit for "crippling all three of their mail servers as well as taking down their main websites world-wide."

Monsanto, a U.S.-based global biotech seed company, Wednesday acknowledged the breach, saying it happened last month.

"Monsanto experienced a disruption to our websites which appeared to be organized by a cyber-group," said Tom Helscher, the company's director of corporate affairs, in an email to msnbc.com. "In addition, this group also recently published publicly available information on approximately 2,500 individuals involved in the broader global agriculture industry."

But, Helscher said contrary to initial reports, "only 10 percent of this publicly available information (was) related to Monsanto’s current and former employees. The list also included contact details for media outlets as well as other agricultural companies.

5. That will come besides
if you notice the truth is out there about Monsanto
but never gets played in the Traditional Media.

Oh, and don't expect Holder to shit about Monsanto.
But other nations are taking them to court.

14. Isn't it interesting how Amerca has become the "rape, pillage and destroy our lands" now?
The Companies now do not care if their destruction is here since they are "global".

4. Way to go. And it is about time.
When we elected a progressive like Obama, we didn't know the "M" in the middle of his last name stood for Monsanto.

It is a shame we cannot rely on our supposed demcoratically elected officials to stop Monsanto, but at least the computer hackers of the world have some abilities to terrify those Ass wipes.

My household :toast: whoever did this!

8. Instead of employees lists
why didn't they release chemical lists or company research records showing they know their products are actually ruining the food supply?

Sorry . but many don't know about the connection

Yes, I think you knew it but other readers don't.

12. I'd rather see them drag Monsanto's dark dirty secrets into the light...
...than merely shut down their e-mail system and compromise the employees' personal info. The great majority of employees are just workers, cogs in the machinery trying to make a living, even though they work for the most evil company on Earth. But they don't call the shots. I wish "Anonymous" would splash the company's vile practices and devious maneuverings all over the net.

16. 'majority of employees are just workers'
I think I've heard that line before and it doesn't work
for an ethical human being.
