Ryan says he's done contract work for the U.S. Army and he brags on his blog that he leads "a team called Black Cell, a team of the most-highly trained and capable physical, threat and cyber security professionals in the world."

He looks like a fat piece of sh*t. Couldn't make $$$ in the real IT world, so he got a govt. gig. Hello, asshole.

Yeah, you're super-elite.

wow. so much hate, all because a bunch of people are tired of getting screwed over and their money stolen by wall street.

Weaver95: wow. so much hate, all because a bunch of people are tired of getting screwed over and their money stolen by wall street.

How dare they! How farking DARE they!!

First they ignore, then they berate, then the vilify. What do you think the next step is?

meh. They not the.

FTFM

Interesting. Not much chance that the OWS people don't go looking for him. Let's watch.

massive DDOS attacks on the asshole who got caught hacking the OWS listserv?

Name: Joseph Cassano. Claim to fame: Risked $500,000,000,000 of AIG money on risky bets. Cost of bailout: $182,500,000,000. Status: During his career at AIGFP from 1987 until he was forced to retire in March 2008, Cassano received $315 million: $280 million in cash and an additional $34 million in bonuses. Currently living high off the hog.

Yes, we should safeguard our best and brightest. Save this poor man.

if this guy actually admitted to hacking into the OWS listserv and told this to the FBI...then he just admitted to breaking several computer crime/anti-hacking laws. I wonder how our law and order/strict authoritarian types around here will react to this fact?

IRS audits of the OWS leaders?

The word 'immunity' most likely dominated the discussions with the FBI.

I'd still like to know more details of just what this security expert did to gain access to that listserv. if he broke the law, then he should be held accountable.

I should have said organizers such as the ones mentioned, but not named, in TFA.

gotcha.

if this actually gets a greenlight, our local pro-corp shills are gonna have a rough time justifying this sort of thing.

article needs more up votes though. I did my part, but more would be better.

fusillade762: Oh, and Anonymous? Feel free to go after that cock Breitbart, too, while you're at it.

Anonymous bringing on the DDoS wrath to target a Wikileaks-like exposure they're on the wrong side of would be a rich irony.

/Maybe then the Tea Party can start wearing this guy's mask at protests.
//Get the whole "I Am Spartacus!" thing going.

It will turn out that the critical information that was leaked amounted to who preferred what on their pizza.

How much you want to bet?

So private citizens breaking laws to protest corporate overreach = good
Private citizens taking it upon themselves to break laws to sabotage the first = bad?

Laws are broken on both sides of this issue every day Weaver, why restrict your ire to one or the other?

Wow, a real life BSABSVR here. So rare to see these in the wild anymore.

sinschild:

who says I do?

personally I think computer crime laws are a joke. corporations get caught breaking them all the time and nothing ever happens to them. the only people who go to jail for hacking are the little guys.

sinschild: At least he has the correct method down. This group would require no violence to disperse if you kill their communications. Without their fix every 15 minutes on twitter and facebook, they will clear out in a hurry. A little creativity and you could shut these folks down with minimal fuss and no real damage to property.

you do realize that it's impossible to do what you suggest, right?

sinschild: This group would require noten times the violence to disperse if you kill their communications.

Fix'd Shrugging and ignoring them is how you get rid of them, unless they're truly committed, and the core 5% that will protest no matter what can be marginalized. Cutting commo shows you're desperate. It redoubles their efforts. Once you've visibly wronged them, they'll have a rallying point to cling to. That vague sense of getting dicked in the ass by the megacorps is a match in a hurricane next to the firestorm of using draconian measures to suppress dissent. Everyone and their sister will pick this up, their numbers will swell, and you'll create sympathy amongst the common man. Instead of killing the movement, you just gave it a shot of steroids and a beating stick.

IOW, you've gone full retard.

Would this include the emails from George Soros that prompted and directed the whole organization in the first place?

He did it for the right reasons, so at best he gets a smack on the wrist and a "don't you ever do that again."

Here's a chance for Anonymous to earn their reputation.

Um no, its not. Spurious creation of hotspots (3k or so seems to be the magic number) will take care of the laptops using 801.X connections. There is software that does this off the shelf and it is very very effective at killing those connections.
A $3 bag of parts to build yourself a sweep generator takes care of the 3g 4g and wireless xmit frequencies.

Put the software on a single board, and running off a flash card and you can hide it anywhere, same for the sweep generator.

Cheap enough that you could build enough to literally throw them away all around the area.

Impossible? Hardly.

that won't work tho...and it it'll get your ass into serious trouble with the FCC for even trying. that said...why don't you head on down to NYC and give it a whirl? if nothing else the tech geek in me wants to see the theory field tested.
