wife's
yesterday after his case was pushed back
mean for months and months and months I think we're going on
years now I think he was first posted be seen in court
in like late 2011 maybe early 2012 don't remember exactly when
but finally after cicely pushing this back
I Saboo the law sec hacker
turned FBI informant had his day in court
yesterday and
the US government calculated that he participated in computer hacks
I in attacks on more than 250 public and private entities
at a cost up to fifty million dollars in damages and
he was sentenced with time served
equivalent to the seven months he spent in prison last year
posse years supervised release in a war for having spent
much in the past three years working as a federal informant
he faced a maximum sentencing
a more than 26 years apparently
for those who don't remember Saboo is part a law sec
he was probably the the most
iconic I guess the word you can use I love these anonymous law sec akers yetta
infamy in fame surrounding him at they
allowed for not a mess in Los second other hackers don't really tried it try
to attract
I am he
was able to
pursue his
his aiding the government was able to pursue and identify and convict
8 of his peers in anonymous and LulzSec
most notably Jeremy Hammond
up for those who remember happened
in his case claim that said Bill real name Hector exit your mind say you are
had directed much of the criminal activity himself
and this includes attempt to break into the website's above
many foreign governments apparently
this was during the time he was working with the FBI and he was
actively hacking into these far government web sites
it really is unbelievable and the the real sickening thing year
is judge loretta preska
the chief federal district the judge it the chief judge the federal district
court in the Southern District New York
repeatedly praised what she called ish truly
extraordinary cooperation she said that he had provided sophisticated and
complex assistance
to the government align them to pierce the secrecy surrounding low sec
and successfully prosecute its members a spokesperson for our
and I anonymous would like everyone to know that
I he is first and foremost the criminal the FBI cyber
crime Task Force ours coconspirators what operating under their supervision
he committed numerous felonies which in no way be execute excuse to do is
protected informant status
the FBI continues to use captured informants who commits crimes in pursuit
overdue senses for sole purpose of creating examples to find the public
they do this the hope a pacifying online percent that's nothing I journalistic
investigations
into the US government's misconduct this
sad this sass statement makes a lotta sense because we see this time and time
again
whether it's with online II activists
or hacktivists or whatever or if it's real life activists we've seen in four
minutes
working with the FBI or local police or never
infiltrate organizations and
plant everything there they are the informant to the one
doing the illegal activity and then
it's simply the buck is passed to the
parties were fooled into believing
its it it's a crime it really is
and Saboo will
get to go home while Jeremy Hammond spaces spend the next ten years of his
life in prison
