a less-biased website would probably garner more support. After digging into the situation, I find he's part of a hacker group called 'Goatse Security' and he's a famous internet troll.
He also claims to have hacked Amazon, though Amazon denies it.
I also find that he wasn't just arrested... The FBI investigated and THEN arrested him. When released on bail, he immediately broke the gag order (which is obviously illegal).
After all that, I have to ask: How did he expose AT&T's misdeeds? Obviously by hacking. Which would be illegal, no matter your purpose.
So now that I've done my research and the site hides that, I'm not real inclined to show any support. Had the site been more forthcoming with the relevant info, I might feel more charitable.
- knowtheory 15y agoyeah, i rarely flag things, but this seems deceptive to me.
- grncdr 15y agoI have a feeling it was either updated since you read it, or you didn't read it. first thing I see in the center of the page: Andrew Auernheimer, security researcher under attack. Security researcher (founder of Goatse Security) Recipient of TechCrunch "Crunchie" award for public service Free speech advocate (former sysadmin for Encyclopedia Dramatica) Famous Internet troll and all-around fun-loving jackass Weev on Wikipedia I've got no opinions on him and what he's done or been accused of, but I don't think the site is very deceptive about the kind of guy he is.
