used cell phone signals at the time of a planned demonstration on their subway systems, have themselves come under attack from notorious hacker group Anonymous, who hacked into their systems and released sensitive information of around 2400 of their customers in response to their cell phone blocking escapades.<\/p>\n<p>A spokeswoman from Bay Area Rapid Transit says that the company has no regrets about the actions that it says it took to protect public safety, and would do the same thing again without public consultation if they once more believed it to be appropriate, but the hacker group was certainly not impressed, noting that they felt BART\u2019s actions were more about protecting themselves from unwanted attention than protecting the public, with the planned demonstration having been in relation to two men who were killed by California law enforcement officers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBART has proved multiple times that they have no problem exploiting and abusing the people,\u201d the hacker group says in a statement.&nbsp; \u201cFirst they displayed this by the two recent killings by BART police\u2026 Non-lethal weapons were available to use during both incidents, providing even that was necessary, but instead they shot to kill.&nbsp; Next they violated the people\u2019s right to assembly\u2026 by blocking cell phone signals in order to stop a protest against the BART police murders.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bay Area Rapid Transit in San Francisco in the United States who have raised controversy by blocking
