Cybersecurity firm pulls out of San Francisco conference due to threats of real-world attacks. Hacker group Anonymous took credit for breaking into the website of HBGary Federal. The firm was working with federal agents to expose the group’s hackers. The hack was more sophisticated than the attacks last year on the Amazon, Visa and MasterCard websites in apparent retaliation for their decisions to stop working with WikiLeaks. The company says it has pulled out of the conference to protect its employees and customers from the hacker group.
