    Default Anonymous threatens Justice Department over hacktivist death

    (CNN) -- Hackers claiming to be from the group "Anonymous" threatened early Saturday to release sensitive information pertaining to the U.S. Department of Justice.

    After taking over the website of the U.S. government agency responsible for federal sentencing, the hackers posted a message signed "Anonymous," in which they demand that the United States reform its justice system or face the release of "warheads" of incriminating information.

    Anonymous is believed to be the loosely defined collective of so-called "hacktivists" who oppose attempts to limit Internet freedoms.

    There was a long threat note and a YouTube video and a list of files named after U.S. Supreme Court justices.

    Very interrrrresting.

    Do you know who the first "hacktivist" was"?


    J Edgar Hoover


    Was the director of the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation from May 19, 1924 until his death on May 2, 1972. Kept files on many political leaders and public figures that contained sensitive and potentially damaging information which he used for blackmail purposes.

    Quite funny really when the guy was as bent as a nine dollar bill in the days when homosexual acts were frowned upon.

    I guess Hoover was just protecting his a-double-s.

    Yep. He was a Pho King crossdresser.

    But the new hacktivists will level the playing field.

    I wonder how many courts decisions were wrongly decided because Hoover, or some other functionary, had embarrassing information about a Judge.

    Why do the nations rage,
    And the people imagine a vain thing?
    The kings of the earth set themselves up,
    And the rulers take counsel together
    Against the Lord and against His anointed.
    Saying, let us break their bonds asunder,
    He that sitteth in the heavens
    Shall laugh, and the Lord
    Shall have them in derision!
