Hackers got BUSTED!!

[GermainZ]

Oh liked their work, too bad, well only a matter of time till another hacking group far better rises up to take its place.

We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us.

Anonymous=Legion
A legion takes more than a few arrests.
Expect the FBI/CIA website to be DDOS attacked soon
EDIT: And before you say "LOL IMPOSSIBLE!!11!!!", know that it already happened a month ago.

"Too bad the Feds don't use their time arresting spammers."

Run everyone! they are coming!!!
But seriously I think the fact that these people were working from home shows their confidence in the governments inability to catch them. They were caught but its not like it happened right away so their confidence wasn't entirely wrong. Anyway do they even know what big hacking gigs these guys participated in? Anon isn't a organized group of hackers, some of them probably didn't support the sect and paypal hack. It is possible that these guys do some minor hacking but aren't all out criminals.

They actually work from home to turn other PCs into zombies.
These PCs do the DDOS attack without the user's knowledge. So technically, they weren't directly attacking from their homes.

Yes, they are a group of noobs. The real hackers of the world who do the serious stuff we rarely hear about are the criminals. They will PHYSICALLY break into buildings, do their work, etc... Not sit at home or some friends house, use some proxies and try to cover their steps, lol... 100% noobs. Never ever do serious hacking from a physical location you can be connected to in any way.

See above comment. If I plant a few bombs inside of a innocent airplane passengers suitcase then technically the innocent passenger is the one who blew up the plane. I was nowhere near the scene. But by analyzing the bomb materials and security videos and interviewing suppliers of the bomb materials I am caught by the FBI. But I didn't do it, so why should i go to jail, right?

You have no clue how large and organized Anon is do you.

It's not a group of basement dwellers running kiddie scripts off their new mac that mommy bought.

Here's some of their slightly recent work against the online security firm, HBGary, due to the actions of the CEO Aaron Barr.

Acer how dare you question jp

Apparently Anonymous remains anonymous even after arrest.

Personally, I heard that Anonymous got busted and it turned out to just be a few guys (All expert hackers) Who simply managed to reach out and recruit UNOFFICIAL members... but the actual group was no more than 5 or 6 people.

However, this hacking is serious. I was surprised to hear the news too, after being enraged as PSN was shut down thanks to Anon. I strongly believe they are real criminals.

You're not one of them are you..?

I, for one, enjoyed watching Lulzsec's antics. It was a voyage of fun.

The story in japanpimp's link is being repeated by multiple new sources on the internet, but this is the only thing I've found that deanonymized anyone.
