    October 17

The "hacktivist" group CabinCr3w, which has ties to Anonymous, has posted what it says are the personal details of yet another big-bank CEO: Brian Moynihan.

The group posted what it says is the phone number, address, home value and salary of Bank of America Corp.'s top exec on its blog Sunday evening. Last week, it posted similar information for Citigroup Inc.'s chief, Vikram Pandit.

In doing so, the group has "upped its information warfare efforts in support of the Occupy Wall Street movement by publishing personal contact info," Ars Technica reported in a Monday article.

Anoynymous has posted more sensitive information in other incidents. For example, it posted Social Security numbers as part of a batch of leaked data from the International Association of Chiefs of Police, the article said; the Social Security numbers have since been taken offline.
