It seems as though the feds busted Anon. http://www.cnn.com/2011/CRIME/07/19/new.york.anonymous.warrants/index.html?hpt=ju_c2New York (CNN) -- Fourteen people have been arrested as part of an ongoing operation targeting the notorious hacking collective known as Anonymous, the U.S. Department of Justice and the FBI said on Tuesday.
The individuals were arrested by FBI agents on charges related to their alleged involvement in a cyberattack on PayPal's website, which has been claimed by the Anonymous group.
Five additional people were arrested in Europe and two more in the United States for alleged cybercrimes, the Justice Department said in a statement.

Those aren't the core anons or anything close to core of anon, they are retards who thought they could use the DDOS tool without hiding behind proxies and weren't smart to realize their actions are broadcasting their real IP address to everyone.
They will learn the hard way you don't join in on illegal activity unless you have some vauge idea of wtf you are doing.

I doubt they'll learn. They were dumb enough to participate in the first place.

In hindsight as a Scot, the videos where he speaks could have pinpointed him. Native English speaker with a Scandinavian lilt - that's a Shetland Islands accent. I missed it as I usually would, because it makes you go "Norwegian? Swedish?".

Spokesman part made me lulz. Who knew, the scary hacker group had a community rep... He was the main voice on the LulzSec and Anonymous Twitter accounts for the past year or so - anything involving clever wordplay was him. He wrote the more amusing press releases they've put out. His role appeared to be far more about being the mouthpiece than doing any actual hacking. In chat logs, they were urging him to write a book. "Spokesman" isn't far off the mark. Edit: Gawker has written a profile of Topiary http://gawker.com/5825248/After LulzSec spun off from Anonymous, Topiary continued to act as unofficial spokesman while the group rose to fame with a series of increasingly-spectacular hacks. He ran Lulzsec's Twitter feed, and his style of swashbuckling, meme-inflected humor became the group's brand. A former Lulzsec insider tells us Topiary's skills at public relations greatly outweighed his hacking prowess. "We never see him do anything, no hacking or nothin," he said in an interview. |

Spokesman or Hacker, in the US they'd use racketeering laws to make him as guilty of each count of hacking as the actual hackers because of his affiliation. He'd best have a genius of an extradition lawyer.

I suspected that the UK's Serious Organized Crime Agency would have a similar set of charges to bring to bear as the US mafia laws.

Ah, I'd imagine so. I wasn't aware the UK had such a force.

Perhaps, since it seems the agency was named by one of Monty Python or that other funny British show.

Wouldn't they name it more like the Moderately Amused But Not Too Witty Organized Crime Agency?

I want to work at the Seriously Sloppy Crime Agency, because going after people who are actually organized is a pain in the ass. I'd spend my day hunting those guys who are stupid enough to leave their wallet with photo ID and a copy of the heist plans at the crime scene. That seems like an appropriate use of my criminalistic talents.

It's a very shitty thing and you've already agreed to it for any service you're signed up for in the US. Cable, cell phone, warranty agreements... Those are the ones I can think of that I *know* have mandatory arbitration when you sign the contract.
That the PSN agreement didn't have it surprises me more than them adding it.

Well, your Supreme Court only screwed you over a few months ago and made that legal. Big companies need time to implement such changes.

So, it's affecting people who didn't bother to change their password after the password theft.

Simply signing into PSN after it came back online required you to immediately change your password. Must be people who had multiple accounts/sold their machines/died/etc.

Just another victim of cyber age discrimination.

Did it whine if you changed the password into the old password?

....and the hacks roll on. Turbine is concerned that a third-party recently may have attempted to access forum account information. There is no indication at this time that your account was modified or compromised. For your protection we suggest you change the password to a unique, hard to guess password not associated with any other sites or services. If you changed your password after October 11th, then you can disregard this message. |

Lulzsec involved?
I don't think Lulzsec still operates (at least as Lulzsec) since at least 3 of them are under arrest. |
