Secret Force Behind the Rise of the Tau




USA

Hackers angry over the suicide of Internet activist Aaron Swartz took over the website of the United States Sentencing Commission (USSC) twice over the weekend, finally infecting the homepage with a playable version of the classic arcade game "Asteroids."

The hackers, claiming affiliation with the online movement Anonymous, also claimed to release a list of people in the federal Witness Security Program, also known as the Witness Protection Program, but that was quickly discovered to be a hoax.


That's a hack I can live with

If they didn't approve of what they saw as an innocent man being sentenced (which I don't agree with; the suicide is tragic but other than that he can feth off) then why on EARTH would they claim to have released info from the Witness Protection Programme, even if it turned out to be a hoax? They REALLY need to get some PR guys if they want people to become sympathetic towards them. Or they just have to wait until my dumb generation takes over.

For thirteen years I had a dog with fur the darkest black. For thirteen years he was my friend, oh how I want him back.

Better to just drop them into a river.

Why not ? If no for Anonymous' intelligence I wouldn't know Anonymous existed.

Anonymous is just that, only most of it's supposed members are fools. Most, some of them, are the kind you don't want to cross.

This. You get loads of people going "OMG I'm Anon! I DDoS'd someone! lol" and then a few people sat behind them surreptitiously sneaking into classified government databases.

This is kind of how I feel about them as a whole. Congrats, you can annoy the ever living gak out of people. And? Thats it? Or are you going to do something useful with your computer skills, rather then play a hoax or piss off millions of playstation owners
