Please Don't Read This And Especially Don't Watch The Video With The Really Hideous Sound Track!

The hacker who breached Hacking Team and FinFisher is trying to get more people to "hack back" and fight "the system." 

 For some, thanks to his targeted attacks and sophisticated political views, Phineas Fisher is quickly becoming the most influential hacktivist of the last few years.

In response to his most recent hack where he released a 39-minute how-to video showing how to strip data from targeted websites, specifically a website of the Catalan police union, Phineas Fisher told Motherboard, "Everything doesn't have to be big.

 I wanted to strike a small blow at the system, teach a bit of hacking with the video, and inspire people to take action."

 Biella Coleman, professor at McGill University in Montreal, believes Phineas Fisher has a good chance of inspiring a new generation of hacktivists and "setting the stage for other hackers to follow in his footsteps."

She says he has been better at choosing targets and justifying his actions with more rounded and sophisticated political and ethical views than Anonymous and LulzSec-inspired hackers.

 Phineas Fisher told Motherboard, "I don't want to be the lone hacker fighting the system.

I want to inspire others to take similar action, and try to provide the information so they can learn how."
