How an FBI Informant Led the Hack of British Tabloid "The Sun"
Daniel_Stuckey writes Hector Xavier Monsegur, also known online as "Sabu," was caught by the FBI in June of 2011 for a litany of hacking-related offenses and, within hours, began cooperating with authorities in hopes of receiving a lenient sentence. Now, never-before-published FBI records and exclusive interviews detail how the informant rallied other hackers to attack various News Corp. interests, including The Sun, at a time that the FBI has said it was tracking all of Monsegur's online activity. And for a week shortly after his arrest, he was privy to the anti-Murdoch campaign waged by Anonymous, according to the documents obtained by Motherboard.
Obama is a traitor. Obama runs a baby-Stalin dictatorial regime. Obama is an imperial president. Obama and his regime are the enemies within. Obama and his regime are the enemies of faith, freedom, family and liberty. Obama has bought our LEOs and Military with Pay and Pension with Printed Fake Federal Reserve Notes. LEOs and Military should note that those FRNs are paper, but our freedom costs much blood. We need to end thus regime and most of the government needs to be re-chained as the Constitution wanted. All of the acolytes of Alinsky, Cloward and Piven should be arrested and imprisoned for their sedition, for their treason, for their utter evil.
Debt is Wealth. Ignorance is Strength. Freedom is Slavery. War is Peace. Cold is Warm.
Fuck Obama for importing not only half of mexico but ISIL terrorists and Ebola rats on top of it.

Sounds like you got a lot of issues, but I'm not going to disagree with you...
Go invade a book, bitch.
Here we have a corrupt FBI forcing the charming hipster hacker into doing their nefarious deeds.
or
Here we have a young FBI rookie, whom goes undercover and poses at a hacker, just to get in close with the mysterious "Sabu" to stop the Evil News corp from turning Skynet on!
I could go on, but I'm stoned and keep getting distracted.
Be seeing you...
The defining rule for success in today's world: Don't deal with Americans.
When in US history was the FBI turned against a native political faction to the political gain of the sitting establishment?
Exactly. We've seen this movie before.
And we know how it ends. Whatever you think of the targets of these things... it won't destroy those movements... it is just pissing them off.
I've decided to stop wasting my time responding to AC trolls/sockpuppets... so if you want a response from me... login.
The Register is reporting that God has saved the Queen. Repeating for those that missed that: God has saved the Queen.
And thank all those "hacker" s'kiddies for the courtesy. Pushed on by the government, but for you that is normal.
This is why you don't shake babies.
Given that the US has sought the extradition of UK based offenders who hacked US sites, there seems no reason for him not to be surrendered to Her Majesty's hospitality, even if he was given 'immunity' by the US.
Or will the UK once again prove to be a lapdog of the US government.
They acted like rabies infected overactive children. There was a antivirus group monitoring them and myself. I posted a message saying that their IP addresses are all showing up. I said he is telling you to do this because he is an informer and it was so obvious. They just kept on posting silly messages like "let's go charge!" They were telling the overexcited obnoxious mentally defectives to download programs to allow them to take over their computer for attacking blah blah blah organisation. The Spanish antivirus group repeated what I had said to them they are being used they are being set up. They all deserve to be in a mental institution until further notice. waste of space mentally defectives.
And THIS is why you should always be suspicious of the guy in your cause who always seems to be screaming the loudest for the most radical (and illegal) stuff, yet whose own operations always seem to end up sabotaged.
Daniel Domscheit-Berg, I'm looking in your direction.
SJW's don't eliminate discrimination. They just expropriate it for themselves.
The Obama regime is so criminal that it needs to be wiped out quickly before the entire world turns against us. This is what Obama wants. If you haven't seen the documentary on Obama, Dreams of My Father than you are clueless and you probably still worship the skin color of the person.
One more abuse of power by this person against conservatives. I don't call him a man because he is anything but a man.
n/t
Because his crimes occurred whilst he was perhaps covered by an FBI immunity, but not a UK one. For the FBI to expect us not to charge under these circumstances is to impose their choices, on the lapdog, who usually merely licks the master's face in response.
Personally, I don't see much difference between Democrat and Republican administrations, in practice. What is weird, is how the paranoid, conspiracy-nut lunatic fringe has become the base of the Republican party. I wonder if they now regret encouraging these people?

Just as the base of the Democrat party has become mindless parasites that care and know nothing about constitutional government as long as they get their Obamaphone and EBT card. The Democrats don't regret it, that was their plan.
*claps* well played sir, well played
You're kind of reinforcing the above.
