Anonymous Warhead Targets US Sentencing Commission
theodp writes "Late Friday, Violet Blue reports, the U.S. Sentencing Commission website was hacked and government files distributed by Anonymous in 'Operation Last Resort.' The U.S. Sentencing Commission sets guidelines for sentencing in United States Federal courts, and on the defaced ussc.gov website Anonymous cited the recent suicide of Aaron Swartz as 'a line that has been crossed.' Calling the launch of its new campaign a "warhead," Anonymous vowed, 'This time there will be change, or there will be chaos.'"
Adds reader emil: "Anonymous has not specified exactly what files they have obtained. The various files were named after Supreme Court judges. At a regular interval commencing today, Anonymous will choose one media outlet and supply them with heavily redacted partial contents."
I posted this comment. Yes, the one right above this. I wasn't logged in, sorry.
Letting people commit crimes and get away with it is the right thing to do?
Charges fitting what was actually alleged is what actually occurred. Punishment never got a chance to happen.
More like 50 mph since he was essentially stealing peoples work because he personally didn't feel they had a right to it. Whine all you like, what he did was illegal. He had the chance to fight it in court, but instead killed himself like the whiny little brat he was. What else can really be expected from a founder of Reddit? Justify all you want, the little bastard had his chance to go to court, instead, he took the easy way out. Sounds like you'd probably do the same.
