The FBI has apprehended the individuals responsible for the Pushdo botnet, but because the said individuals are minors, we have decided to file no charges if the said individuals apologized to everyone who had been negatively affected by the Pushdo botnet. Unfortunately, due to a typo, the said individuals issued a botnet command that is causing the botnet computers to keep trying to POST the following apology to the SSL port:
Dr. Afsaneh Rabiei serves as an Assistant Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and as an Associate Faculty Member of Biomedical Engineering at NC State since Aug. 2000.
Dr. Afsaneh Rabiei received her Ph.D. in advanced materials at Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology, The University of Tokyo, Japan in 1997 within the area of mechanics and nondestructive evaluation of metal matrix composites.
Her prior working experience includes over 8 years of industrial experiences in materials science and processing including casting, welding and nondestructive testing. She received her B.S. from the Department of Metallurgy and Material Science at Sharif University of Technology in Tehran, Iran in 1986. She worked at Harvard University as a post doctoral researcher from 1997 until 2000.
PS: For some telecommunications equipment I actually know how the intercept interface works. Because I used to administer them, but now I'm going away on a long vacation at an undisclosed location. Don't worry about me if I should never post here or anywhere else again, I'll probably be too busy to use the Internet.
Do you really think that the FBI is your greatest enemy online?
IT IS NOT.
It is nice to think that you are enemy of the state nr 1 and that everybody cares about your secrets, but that's not the case. You should worry about phishers and other criminals, not about law enforcement.
The FBI would like you to know that you are currently not being investigated. How you managed to get a +3, Insightful with that kind of post, however, calls for an investigation.
Now, I'm not the police, but I think that if I had access to a phone book of Doncaster, I could probably find the guy in a few hours. Given that he's 90% likely to have a drivers license, it's not like it'd make it any more difficult to find him.
For decades (1956-1971), the FBI under COINTELPRO focused on disrupting, marginalizing and neutralizing political dissidents, most notably the Black Panthers. More recently CENTCOM announced it would be engaging bloggers 'who are posting inaccurate or untrue information, as well as bloggers who are posting incomplete information.' In January 2009 the USAF released a flow-chart for 'counter-bloggers' to 'counter the people out there in the blogosphere who have negative opinions about the U.S. government and the Air Force.'"
The information above is totally inaccurate and untrue. You are advised to retract your statements and apologize, otherwise legal action will be brought against you. Thank you.

The FBI should be notified first and then in cooperation with your mobile provider we will work with you to resolve this issue, but do not remove any applications, they are considered evidence and may assist us in our investigation.
From the information provided, which is very little, it appears that the FBI is requesting information from people who have voluntarily joined an organization of IT professionals not just sponsored by but directly affiliated with the FBI. Why is this getting everyone's hackles up? It does not say that the information will be required of all members, nor does it say that members will be required to inform on their coworkers or companies. The ACM asks you about your IT skills, too. How is this different?
The FBI has never contacted you in any way, shape or form, other than through this post. You are advised to retract your statement and apologize, otherwise legal action will be brought against you. Thank you.

I hope he warns them about FBI posing as 13-year-old choirboys.
Hello, there, Tony AKA "Padre" Antonio di Montesilvano @ christianteenforums.com
Now I just need to find something to make me feel better about our government
The FBI has just removed your linkedin.com profile to protect your privacy and make you feel better about our government. We hope that helps.

There, fixed that for you.
Do you really think that the FBI is your greatest enemy online?
IT IS NOT.

I concur, you are absolutely right, Sir.
The FBI would like you to know that you are currently not being investigated. How you managed to get a +3, Insightful with that kind of post, however, calls for an investigation.
If you have something that you dont want anyone to know, maybe you shouldnt be doing it in the first place
Maybe you should have thought of that before posting here.
Your ideas intrigue me and I would like to tap into your creative mind.
Now, I'm not the police, but I think that if I had access to a phone book of Doncaster, I could probably find the guy in a few hours. Given that he's 90% likely to have a drivers license, it's not like it'd make it any more difficult to find him.
How long do you think it would take to find you?
What if some hypothetical person was to threaten he would blow Slashdot sky high?
Just a second, there's someone at the door...
Who was it?
Does the FBI own the rights to the image they're showing around? Aren't they violating copyright? Can't they be sued for millions in made up damages?
Would you really like to find out?
This is America, you have all the freedoms, including the freedom to fear anyone you want.
Watch what you type friends, Big Brother O is watching.
Nonsense. Please stop spreading FUD.

Flagged as Enemy of The State.
Done.
Thank you for the compliments. How may we help you, Sir?

Yeah, but who is watching the eye in the sky?

Not true.
