“allegedly including Barr’s social security number and address, and his mobile phone number”
Haha! Lame! Seriously that is nothing.
oh, sorry... that was Aaron Burr....
Anonymous actually does good work exposing Scientology.
Internet security...an oxymoron indeed.
Police have arrested five young men on suspicion of taking part in distributed denial-of-service attacks launched by Anonymous, the group that has targeted corporate sites for attack in defence of Wikileaks.
The five, who are aged between 15 and 26, were detained at 7am on Thursday at addresses in the West Midlands, Northamptonshire, Hertfordshire, Surrey and London, the Metropolitan Police Central eCrime Unit (PCeU) said in a statement. The suspects were taken to local police stations and remain in custody, the police added.
Now that GE, Obamacare, and their flunkies are putting all our health care records on the web, we’re now all just a matter of a blackhat’s perseverance away from having no privacy at all.
One of the five Anonymous members carrying out the attacks (it doesn’t take many) told me they were galvanized after finding out from Barr’s emails that he had, in fact, been planning to meet the FBI this morning and was planning to try and negotiate a sale of his information on Anonymous; namely, a 23-page document purporting to show names and addresses of Anonymous members.

Sickos!

“I’m getting personal threats from people, and I have two kids. I have two four-year old kids. Nothing is worth that.”
The threats have come through Facebook including one commenter who wrote: “I’m gonna find out all the people that you know and cause them pain. Death is too good for you.” Last night Barr also received about half a dozen phone calls to his cell. He only answered one of them – a woman who quickly hung up. The rest were voicemails: “They didn’t actually speak,” he says. “One was singing something. Some of them just hung up. One guy just had weird noises in the background.”
