The first half of March is gone, and here it is the Timeline of the main Cyber Attacks for this period, a timeline which shows, once again, a month characterized by Hacktivism, and in particular by cyber attacks carried on in retaliation for the arrests of the LulzSec members, among which, particularly meaningful, is the one perpetrated against a Security Firm: Panda Security.

As far as hacktivism is concerned, March has also seen the rise of a new hacking collective called The Consortium, who hacked Digital Playground, an adult porn site, acquiring 72,000 user accounts.

Other remarkable events include the attacks to several Vatican Websites, the theft of Michael Jackson’s catalogue from Sony, and the Cyber attack to British Pregnancy Advisory Service which allowed the alleged attacker, to illegally obtain 10,000 records.

Last but not least, James Stavridis, the NATO Admiral, has fallen indirect victim of a Social Poisoning Cyber Attack allegedly perpetrated by chinese hackers, as also BBC has fallen victim of a sophisticated Cyber Attacks from Iran.

The references are after the jump and, as always, the timeline does not include the events related to Middle East Cyberwar, object of a dedicated timeline.

If you want to have an idea of how fragile our data are inside the cyberspace, have a look at the timelines of the main Cyber Attacks in 2011 and 2012 (regularly updated) and follow @pausparrows on Twitter for the latest updates.
