The characterization of Anonymous as some single or unique entity is misleading. The sign at the booth and the fax HBGary received were (likely) not perpetrated by the hackers who did the damage. Anyone in the right mood might have gone through with it, fueled by the success of the original attack. And the point made at the end of the article that Barr's list of supposed identities contained many innocent people was very true.
- iuguy 16y agoI would expect hijinks from the guys at Mandiant or any other exhibitor constituting even tangential competition (or anyone from Palantir for that matter) could include something like that sign. There's something clearly going on that we're not being told - but then again, bear in mind that they're a private company so it's not like there's an obligation to disclose.
