Wikileaks DDoS Attacker Arrested, Equipment Seized

Posted by samzenpus on from the I-feel-safer-already dept.

kaptink writes "The self proclaimed hacker that waged a DDoS attack on Wikileaks has been arrested and has had all his equipment seized. What is interesting is that local police conducted the raid and not a federal authority such as the FBI. The Jester (th3j35t3r) who has a reputation for attacking websites he disagrees with is said to be trying to raise $10,000 in expected lawyers fees. If anyone is going to be alight in the whole Wikileaks debacle, its going to be the lawyers. Personally I think anyone who spells their nick with numbers in an effort to look 'leet' deserves to have their computer confiscated."

  1. obligatory joke for president by epine · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    To all those proposing that Palin is too stupid to be electable, what about the obligatory joke that Assange will be as hard to root out as Osama? Does that pass Palin muster?

    Where does he go to blend into thousands of like-minded jihadists in the crags of the Misty Mountains? How does Assange appeal to the duplicity of Pakistan to mire the Americans in a memo generator of vanishing horizons? I'm guessing Assange has already pissed off the Royal Scimitar in half a dozen swarthy havens. Oh well, he wouldn't have blended without spending far too much dangerous time on a beach.

    But have no fear, Julian, Ecuador wants you. No wait, offer rescinded. Too bad. Quito is rife with easy Swedes, and the CIA is afraid of heights. It would have been paradise.

    Palin is doing a fair job of flicking the yo-yo of evil at any convenient thorn while dressed to sell with a rusty plug of tobacco in the cheek pouch of grammar. What other qualification does a republican candidate need? It's not like you have to debate Ralph Nader to become elected. He's not even allowed to enter the room.
