I checked in at the ProtestWarrior website and was surprised to see the following bad news; but I was not surprised to see them fighting back:
7/5/05: HACKER CAUGHT:
In January 2005, Jeremy Hammond and the hacker group collectively known as the "Internet Liberation Front" gained illegal access to the ProtestWarrior server. Thousands of customer credit card numbers were then stolen for the purpose of making millions of dollars in donations to various leftwing organizations. In early February, ProtestWarrior discovered the illegal breach and the identity of the criminals responsible. <……> ...... they were planning on doing the following:
---charge hundreds of dollars per stolen credit card number as donations to various left-wing organizations by using an automated donation submission script
---send the entire ProtestWarrior HQ database (complete with usernames, passwords, and operation details) to left-wing groups hostile to ProtestWarrior (including the entire contents of our mail server) <….>
Upon discovering their plans, we contacted the FBI and the Secret Service, who immediately launched an investigation. <…>
The reason we're posting this now is that Jeremy, in a desperate move, is publicly appealing to the internet community regarding his pending FBI investigation. Using his site freejeremy.com, he is trying to solicit donations for his defense fund and generate public sympathy while spreading slanderous disinformation regarding ProtestWarrior and the events leading up to the FBI investigation. We will soon be releasing much more information and details regarding the incident. Rest assured, justice will be served.
