The Feds are zeroing in on Anonymous. Or trying to. Fox News (in need of a distraction perhaps) is reporting that early this morning the FBI raided the homes of three suspected members of the computer collective. Not that the group of loosely affiliated activist hackers seem too worried.
Two of the raids targets live in Long Island—where feds were seen removing computers from the Baldwin home of Giordani Jordan a little after 6 a.m. this morning—and one lives in Brooklyn. All are in their late teens to early 20s. Today's raids are part of the Fed's ongoing investigation into the hacker collective which, since Julian Assange and WikiLeaks hit the scene, has garnered much attention for its stunts including numerous distributed denial of service attacks and more. Last month the group was credited with hacking into the Arizona police department's computers to protest the state's immigration laws.
Anyway, this is far from over, so don't be surprised if the internet gets a little crazy today.
