Hackers intercept call between FBI and Scotland Yard about Hackers
I stand for these hackers named “Anonymous” expressing their honed skills and support of the public. They show themselves in public wearing Guy Fawkes masks from V for Vendetta, and support things such as the Occupy Wall Street Movement. They consider themselves “Hactivists” showing the public the corruption that flows throughout our government. Their most recent actions were concerning a call between the FBI and Scotland Yard about hackers like them, they decided to intercept the call and post it on one of their sites as a 16 minute conference call between the two police forces. The irony in this is that this call was recorded by the very people they are trying to catch. Oddly enough no FBI systems were breached, but the information was for law enforcement officials only and was obtained illegally and that the FBI has issued a criminal investigation. Anonymous did in fact edit out names of suspected hackers in the video but there was a 15-year old, under the alias of Tehwongz, that Scotland Yard had caught who had presented a written statement saying how he had become a hacker and what he’s done, which involved hacking into a gaming site with over 32,000 users and gathering their financial information. In my opinion that pretty impressive at the age of 15, just as long as I don’t become a victim of their actions and get my information taken. However the FBI and Scotland Yard were actually trying to track down a loose-knit hacking group called Lulzsec, not Anonymous.
