Rumor going around that credit card numbers are getting hacked, too, by some Russians.
That's nothing new.
unless the leaks include obamanation’s birth records, I am not interested.
If this guy REALLY can get secrets, he should have that!
Remarkable...Welcome to the 21st century.
Talking about it in the abstract? No. Talking about it to further coordinate future attacks? Yep, that's illegal - prosecutors use words like "conspiracy" and "incitement".
Anarchists/socialists cause problem with help from govt, govt steps in to quash freedom in the name of saving us from A/s. This is a “false flag” leak, designed to give govts the need to save us from too much info.
Hacking is illegal. Is talking about the hack now illegal?????
By next week it will be illegl to talk about the illegality of talking about the hacking.
I still can’t see what the gripe is against wikileaks. They are posting documents that embarrass the wealthy, the corrupt, the powerful. So what. Saying we now can’t discuss the hacking is authoritarian.
the real info is passed around by IRC on private servers. If I was on the Wiki-leaks team, I would go to full-cypto mode and assume that all commo was being monitored. I don’t think you can be too careful when you are being monitored by the FBI and NSA.
Vigilante is a person who takes the law into their own hands. Vigilantism cannot happen in a civilized society. The hackers are just as much a criminal as anyone else.
Plus many lawyers are saying it would be very difficult to charge Assange with espionage. The documents he’s leaking were GIVEN to him. They landed in his lap. He had no responsibility to keep them secret. He has broken no law. Just like when the NYT published the Abu Ghraib photos and possibly cost lives of some of our soldiers and damaged American reputation. The NYT did not have a responsibility to keep those photos secret.
We do have a freedom of the press in the United States.
