"'That was one of several names that I used, but it wasn't locked down, it wasn't registered and it looks like somebody did use it. It was connected to an IP address that wasn't mine. The FBI agent admitted that he didn't have any records of [that IP address].'" http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2015/10/journalist-linked-to-anonymous-found-guilty-of-5-federal-counts-of-hacking/ http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2015/10/journalist-linked...
