Immediately after the FBI 's statements claiming that the Anonymous movement began to weaken after the LulzSec arrests, the hacktivists sent their response (as was expected, as the FBI's statements were quite provocative).
A few statements from Austin P. Berglas from the FBI, which he accurately reported:
“The movement is still there, it’s on Twitter, it’s posting stuff, but there’s no one to announce major violations anymore. That’s exactly what’s happening, because of the arrests of the big players.”
Hackers leaked a trove of data purportedly from servers at the FBI's Regional Forensics Computer Laboratory (RFCL). Also on Friday, they released a file they claim contains the full details of every employee at the US Federal Reserve Bank.
The file containing the personal information was deleted, but the hackers uploaded it to another server, likely in Zimbabwe, so that US authorities could not download it. All the information comes from a Twitter account using the alias OpLastResort.
“The central banking system has systematically defrauded the planet and is responsible for untold deaths and misery. When the vast majority of the world’s population is below the poverty line, the vast profits in the hands of a few insiders are nothing short of criminal,” Anonymous said after the data leak.

“Let there be no doubt: Anonymous will never stop fighting and punishing the vampire excesses of capitalist exploitation and greed.”
“Given that the FBI has proven unable or unwilling to prosecute institutional thieves, we will intensify our actions,” the hackers continued.
