FBI Cybercrime Director Comments On Hacktivism

bdcny7927 writes "In an exclusive interview with CIO.com, the FBI official in charge of cybercrime speaks for the first time with the media specifically about hacktivism. Here, Assistant Executive Director Shawn Henry describes the threats hacktivists pose, the challenges associated with investigating them, and the FBI's success disrupting these groups. He also delivers a special message to hacktivists." The so-called special message: "My organization is a believer in civil rights and civil liberties, and the first amendment is something I hold very dear personally and professionally. I have no problem with people picketing and protesting in the street. I get all that. But the freedom for me to swing my arm ends where your nose begins. If you are impinging on others' rights, that's illegal."

HELP!! a slashdoter whose familiy is facing cancer

[big-giant-head]

URGENT!!! Please help a family facing cancer!!! My FIL has stage 3 colon cancer and is currently undergoing chemo. My wife, who is a stay at home Mom has entered a craft into a contest. She’s currently in second place to a professional craft blogger with a huge fan base. If she wins, she will turn the prize into cash for her father who lives on a very low budget. The hospital is 75 miles each way which is a lot of gas money. As you know, there are expenses associated with chemo. Her father will need medicine and supplies. PLEASE, vote for my wife’s craft by leaving a comment. That’s all we are requesting. You can vote/comment as often as you like. Just keep it, clean. (It’s a family website) We would appreciate that so much and it would make my in-laws Christmas a happy one to know that others care. The contest ends December 31st. Thanks in advance for your help!
