Overall this is probably the strangest attack I've ever seen.
Usually when someone is hacked a group will come out, take responsibility and then explain why they did it. In this case a group claiming to be Anonymous came out, took responsibility but then never really explained what Stratfor had done to deserve the attack. Then you had other people claiming to be anonymous claim they weren't responsible for the attack.
I'm not one to indulge in Conspiracy theories. Since this hack could also be seen as discrediting both Anonymous (by making them look like a group who randomly attacks people).
So if Stratfor is an honest broker of information this could be seen as a hack designed to discredit two sources of information which would be in the best interest of anyone who has information they wouldn't want shared.
Or not. Again I'm normally not one to believe in conspiracies.
