Aaron Barr of HBGary told the FT that he'd identified Anons leadership and made several demonstrably untrue claims to that effect. Anon has since have taken over their site, deleted backups, acquired 60,000 internal e-mails, acquired Barr's Twitter, taken down the founder's website rootkit.com, and otherwise sought to demonstrate that this internet security firm is incapable of doing what it claims to do for its customers.

Hi Barrett,

Adrian Chen here; I'm a reporter for Gawker and have been following the Anonymous/Operation Payback story for a while. I'd like to learn more about Anonymous' efforts to assemble a legal team, as detailed in the Jan 31 press release: http://anonnews.org/?p=press&a=item&i=358. Biella says you're the one to talk to. Seems like a really interesting development, and I'm sure a lot of the Anons raided by the FBI are relieved to hear about it.

Could we chat about this over the phone? My number is 802.683.9996, or I could give you a call. I'm also available on AIM: lavenderpullover or gchat at this address.

-Adrian
