Anonymous hacker behind Stratfor attack faces life in prison |
2012-11-24 |
Won't actually happen of course, but at least I can go to bed and dream about it. A pretrial hearing in the case against accused LulzSec hacker Jeremy Hammond this week ended with the 27-year-old Chicago man being told he could be sentenced to life in prison for compromising the computers of Stratfor. Judge Loretta Preska told Hammond in a Manhattan courtroom on Tuesday that he could be sentenced to serve anywhere from 360 months-to-life if convicted on all charges relating to last year's hack of Strategic Forecasting, or Stratfor, a global intelligence company whose servers were infiltrated by an offshoot of the hacktivist collective Anonymous. |

#3 I wonder if there's any actual hacking talent in Anonymous? He looks like your run of the mill script kiddy. |

#2 Jeremy Hammond, Off he goes to meet his cousin Reggie Hammond and Det Sgt. Jack Cates in 48 Hours. Interesting how life imitates fiction. |

#1 Got sold down the river by a LulzSec hero who, yep, lived in his mom's basement. FBI is putting the screws to this nice grouping. |
