Scientology Attacker Will Be Sentenced To Jail

OBG writes "A Nebraska native charged with taking part in a massive cyber-attack against the Scientology website will be spending the next year behind bars. 20-year-old Brian Thomas Mettenbrink will plead guilty to the charge of unauthorized access of a protected computer for his involvement in the denial of service attack, which was orchestrated by the online group 'Anonymous.' Mettenbrink's is the second successful prosecution connected to the 'Anonymous' attacks. Last year, Dmitriy Guzner of Verona, New Jersey, was sentenced to a year and a day in federal prison for attacks on Scientology sites."

    I'm either being modded down for my continued attack on scientology or someone's perception that I am homophobic. The former would be ridiculous from any vantage point. The latter is even more ridiculous, but I don't really need to spend a lot of time talking about my sordid past. Suffice to say that I used to live in a party house in Santa Cruz, California. If you're modding me down for homophobia, you're not only stupid, but you're doing yourself a great disservice.
