At this point, he had already revealed probably-identifying information in an interview with the Mirror newspaper. That same interview respected his accomplice's desire for anonymity, so I don't think we can assume journalists were at fault here.
This was after he was disturbed enough by receiving a video of a burning car to go to the police. He seems to have a complex relationship with anonymity.
- SlowRobotAhead 8y agoI think this and the rest of the article really only shows me that this guy while technically prepared to be a security researcher - practically or emotionally is not. His buddies have the good sense to remain anonymous.
- giancarlostoro 8y agoI think to some degree he tried, I'm still wondering if "bRspd" is the same guy, anytime it talks about proper hacks / database dumps it blames whoever bRspd is, and keeps him and Judge Judy out of it. It just seems a little too coincidental. He should of published as an anonymous blogger (or more), and then based his wiki work off that. Maybe purposely write in terrible English in anoymous blogs.
- deku-shrub 8y agoSpeak for yourself. I wanted to stop people being killed, I knew I couldn't be taken seriously as an anonymous person and the police already knew me. I'm doing everything I can here, I'd do it again if meant stopping something like this.
- deku-shrub 8y ago> I don't think we can assume journalists were at fault here. That's where you're wrong buddy.
