Nobody important uses the analysis service. Everyone important uses the CIA. Stratfor serves small and medium sized businesses with global operations. Huge military-industrial operations like Halliburton get their intelligence from the CIA. You don't know what Stratfor is. It's a niche news product, nothing more. Like any newspaper, they have secret sources. But the news product and analysis services offered by Stratfor are extremely benign. Anon is targeting them for no other reason than that Stratfor is a small business who hired a shitty engineering firm with bad security practices. Any script kiddie can go around finding non-technical businesses with poor security. Stratfor's 70-person staff is peopled entirely by nerdy writers with humanities degrees who spend all day compiling mostly-public information released by the world's parliament buildings and militaries. Stratfor deals in the analysis of public information for the benefit for private parties. No government agency relies on them, though they may subscribe, Stratfor will not be their primary source. The people who rely on Stratfor are companies too small and inconsequential to get CIA-access. Anyway I support the mission of Anonymous to hack the government and hack evil big corporations but Stratfor is not part of that complex and no juicy information is going to come out of this leak. It's going to be extremely mundane stuff and will probably get a few innocent cab drivers in 3rd world countries murdered.
