FBI Seizes Server Providing Anonymous Remailer Service

Posted by timothy on from the arrogance-of-power-button dept.

sunbird writes "At 16:00 ET on April 18, federal agents seized a server located in a New York colocation facility shared by May First / People Link and Riseup.net. The server was operated by the European Counter Network ("ECN"), the oldest independent internet service provider in Europe. The server was seized as a part of the investigation into bomb threats sent via the Mixmaster anonymous remailer received by the University of Pittsburgh that were previously discussed on Slashdot. As a result of the seizure, hundreds of unrelated people and organizations have been disrupted."

    I don't know how many times i've dealt with extremely smart people, people that hold very complex jobs, that simply don't understand the difference between memory and hard drive or CPU and GPU

    Unfortunately, you obviously aren't one of them, because the hard drive IS memory. Perhaps you meant RAM and hard drive memories?
