EXCLUSIVE: FBI Raids Homes of Suspected Anonymous Hackers

reply to post by Section31


An interesting observation is that news changes, the simple fact is that so far the youngest annon person is 20 the oldest is in her 40's.

15-20 year old just do not have the creative mentality to put together some of the videos annon posted throughout in the way that they were directed, filmed, animated and edited. That is not to be bias against youngsters in any way its a simple fact that after a woman or a man passes the age of 25 the creative side starts to fully function again, as it did when we were all children.

It's no secret to the mods, members, owners and staff that I support anonymous - since support of a cause (as long as I'm not promoting any illegal activity, or recruiting or breaking the T+C) is not illegal.

So please stop derailing and trolling and baiting members.

You have no clue what just happened.

Look back at the last several pages. As a result of disagreeing with my perspective, about the group Anonlescence (Anonymous), you turned around and blasted me out on a personal level.

While I was having an intellectual conversation about the group, you called me an ignorant troll for pointing out the group's logistics and membership.

FoxNews Link: 16 Suspected 'Anonymous' Hackers Arrested in Nationwide Sweep

The metropolitan police in London arrested the first alleged member of the LulzSec group on June 20, a 19-year-old teen named Ryan Cleary. Subsequent sweeps through Italy and Switzerland in early July led to the arrests of 15 more people -- all between the ages of 15 and 28 years old.

Even though they fleshed out the information about the recent arrest, the bottom of the report still says members of the group range from 15 to 28.

They are charged with various counts of conspiracy and intentional damage to a protected computer, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000. Each count of conspiracy carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Yes! Justice will be served!

BBC News Link: Police arrest 'hackers' in US, UK, Netherlands

In the UK, Scotland Yard told the BBC that it had arrested a 16-year-old boy in south London on suspicion of breaching the Computer Misuse Act 1990.

Another news article supports the first one.

I agree, and isn't it completely insane - when we are proven time and time again to be the most adaptable species on the planet?

No, if I had to bet, I'd put my money on roaches over us on the most adaptable species...

They can't shut them down.

It's like torrents - there is no 'head' to cut off, more hackers will simply spring into place.

The FBI sure is working hard. Arresting kids. Yet except for a few little guys,
not one scumbag banker has been prosecuted. Yes indeed. The FBI sure
is working hard. But who are they working for?

Very easy, there is no explanation, we all know the way the FBI carries out their actions do not make sense at all lol

I find it interesting that so many people seem to dismiss Anon just because they are young.

What age do you think most soldiers are? How about Olympic atheletes? Motzart, Chesterton, and Alexandar the Great, among others, did some of their best work in their teens and 20s. Most math experts and chess masters are under 30, when the neural plasticity (a politcally correct way of saying "mental agility and flexibilty") is strongest. Age brings wisdom, but youth is the domain of intensity and extreme acts.

I am quite a bit older than an adolescent, but to me the age of the Anons has little bearing on matters. They do stuff, stuff happens. Who cares how old they are? It seems like a strange dead horse to beat.

They intend to make examples out of those that they capture, in the most harsh ways available to them... In a very public way... That is for a deterrent affect.

Their relentless pursuit will intensify, their infiltration will deepen, surveillance online and off will broaden, their traps will be more sophisticated.

Expect them!

The smart ones will get out whilst they still can, live to fight another day, another way!

Justice? Don't you dare talk about justice. My tax dollars are going to fixing the BP oil spill. Where is the justice there? The FBI has time to deal with "Adolescent" hackers, but NOT a national disaster? Yeah, more of my tax dollars wasted. The only people anon threatens are corporations---not the people. Look how quickly the FBI responded to their corporate masters whim to get these kids arrested. Yet with all the evils going on in the world, they do nothing about them. People in the US are starving and sick, but thank god mastercard is safe!
Is that your idea of justice?
if it is, then # justice.

This story is a joke...

Lets say, hypothetically of course, that I start a group and I'm calling it "Anonymous". This is a group of people who enjoy the taste of french fries. I consider anyone who enjoys french fries to be a member of my group. Now if you happen to enjoy french fries, you certainly are not obligated to label yourself as "Anonymous" but, since I don't know you, and millions of other people don't know you, by default and definition you are... anonymous. This group happens to get its start on the internet, where, you guessed it, everyone is anonymous.

Come to find out, there are some kids and hackers out there who REALLY love french fries. They decide to take up the fight to defend the right to consume french fries in their own way. Then a few of them get busted... and its over. Yeah, right. Pretty sure a few kids aren't the only ones who like french fries in the world. The FBI better get busy if they plan to bust everyone who likes french fries.

Honestly, I don't really care for french fries.

How would YOU quell an uprising? Why not start it yourself and arrest all those that flock to it. I'm not saying it's what's happening, but it certainly is possible. It's like the old saying; an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of the cure.

Is that not what this group is all about.

Political propaganda on a massive scale.

You are telling me not to use propaganda against a group that uses propaganda.



Anonlescence (Anonymous) is a political propaganda activist group.

Even though I am not using propaganda, the group itself uses it to advertise their methods, activities, and manifesto.

Interesting.

Wrong thread

Im quoting this because this is the major point of all of this going down . So many go on about crime and justice , but they are refering to people wanting to make a difference , to take a stand , to use what is THE most current availble form of the modern day

And yes what we see here is how easy it is for them to put a big effort into taking down OUR children , but no effort in taking down the real villians as name and named many times over and as you have pointed out here , you sink into poverty and disstress while they who send their armed forces after those who threaten their masters .

Its always like that , and untill those people willing to work for the forces that steal the very energy out of the planet and the people , they, the stupid fools will make all suffer ..
Now tell me people why do you purposely do that which will make this gap between rich and poor grow . Amerika is in bad times . Families are on the streets if you believe what you read . Im not there to see this , thus i only know what i have read in the news reports and they show a new emerging middle class poor living on the streets.

So we all know how this has happened , yet again , as stated by poster here ....they can only put resources into arresting kids .

No offence kids Im one of those dreaded babyboomers , but at least I stood up as a kid and devotted my young years to try to help the human race grow in higher Spiritual knowing . I think it worked fairly well as i can see the onflow from this early effort .
So never give up youth . We too had the forces thrown at us in all direction when we were watering the roots of the problem . Some hated us , but so many more loved us too . . Remember that . and we were able to freely feed people and they loved us even more as we could cook well .

Just dont do any harm to others and give honour to the Great Spirit .

Another very interesting part of that story I heard recently was that the main Authority figure that drove the pursecution against our group later apologise at a happy fesival event he came along too . He finally realised that he had been very wrong and had been under the influences of negative forces himself .

I find this part interesting.

The name and twitter account is from this article.

On June 21, Arciszewski also posted on Twitter, under the username voodooKobra, "Infragard Tampa has one hell of an exploit."

He also posted "No matter how intimidating a website or a website's owners might be, that doesn't mean it's necessarily secure" on that same day.

They're called emoticons. Welcome to 1881. And let's not get big heads... I am pretty sure I can find some threads on here that's don't fall under "educated debate". :-P

And it seems Anonymous is not young little kids.
