Holy cow. That's great. Do you have that email chain? 

And anything more on bank of america? That stuff is great.

If so, could you pass it along?

Hey, Barrett.

So, what do you know about this HBGary emails? Anything fun or interesting
so far....

And can we chat sometime today about the magazine piece. I saw some details
on Wired's blog about how the group managed to compromise HBGary so
quickly...in what, 24 hours.

The editor is interested in putting together a fun story about how
Anonymous thumped a cyber security company. Can we get some juicy details of
how the group managed to do it all in less than 24 hours. Don't need trade
secrets...but some behind the curtain details would be fun.

Thoughts?

One more thing; just noticed I'm referred to as spokesman. That's not
entirely accurate. Gregg Housh serves same role as I do in terms of
being
a
namefag who talks to press, and Anon doesn't have roles or titles. As
I
mentioned, I'm a propagandist, but just one of many, and though I'm
organizing legal counsel, I don't have official capacity in regards to
that.
NYT refers to me simply as "Barrett Brown," for instance.

Michael-

You may have seen yesterday's

Times
piece
which
claimed
that
the operational heads of
Anonymous

been
identified
by
a
certain
Aaron
Barr of the internet secuity firm
HBGary

Barr
claimed
that Q

demonstrably
false
(Q
set
up
the
#anonymous channel at anonops.ru
,
which
is
simply
an
IRC
channel)
and
that he is seeking replacements
for
OWen.
OWen
merely
runs
and
owns
that
particular server, which as I
told
you
is
one
of
several
de

operational centers. Everyone
involved
laughed
their
assess
off
yesterday
and several of us wrote a silly
press
release
which
was
thereafter
posted at
Daily Kos and AnonNews. Barr, for
his
part,
is
reportedly
set
to
meet
with
the FBI tomorrow in order to
provide
them
with
info
gleaned
from
our
entirely non-secret IRC channels,
and
meanwhile
his
allegedly
successful
intel operation will no doubt
help
his
firm
acquire
further
business.

The only problem is that
Anonymous
has
just
taken
over
the
website of
HBGary Federal founder Greg
Hoglund
and
deleted
all
bakcups.
Suffice
to
say
that HBGary has attempted to
interfere
with
a
movement
that
has
made
substantial contributions to the
liberty

well-being
of

Thx. I'll keep that off the

but

keep
in
touch
as
the
date
gets closer.

Yeah, will do. Also, off the
record,
although
Anonymous
as a
movement
will
no doubt continue to some small
extent
with
Yemen,
the
11th
is
the
anniversary of Iran's revolution
and
I'm
in
discussions
with
both
Iranian
exiles and some of the more
competent
Anons
about
supplying
certain
tools to
Green folks ahead of that, and
perhaps
getting
involved
further.
Our
concern
is that Anonymous is not yet
equipped
to
handle
such
a
situation
as
Iran,
which obviously involves a lot
of
nuance
and
interference
from
all
the
great
powers and then some. Eritrea,
meanwhile,
is
a
police
state
with
a
large
expat presence in the city in
which
I'm
currently
living
and
I've
managed to
get in touch with the exile
opposition,
which
is
enthusiastic
about
any
attempt. That, too, would be a
secret
op
run
out
of
Project
PM
until
such
time as our cover is blown, at
which
point
Anonymous
will
be
thrown
at
them.
I expect those operations to
begin
in
two
weeks.

Here, just call him -

His
other

possibly
cell, is

one
first, I
don't

if
he
wants me
giving

Michael-

Good to meet you.
Here's
the
info
I
have.
Let
me
know if
I
forgot
anything.

"Heidi Boghosian" <
director@nlg.org
,
(NAtional
Lawyers
Guild
director
with
whom I'm working to
choose
lawyers)

Stanley Cohen
stanleycohen@earthlink.net-
guy
who
guys
on
Fox
and
defends
Hamas, lol

























http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/cifamerica/2011/jan/27/anonymous-internet
-
my op-ed from other
day,
with
links
to
info
on
OpTunisia,
etc.

As I mentioned,
there
are
three
people
I'm
assisting
in
this.

"Trivette" is a
channel
operator
of
anonops.ru,
where a
large
faction
of
the
Anonymous movement
does
its
work.
He's a
California
male
whose
documents
you
have (partially, it
seems).
Here
is
the
entirety
of
what
I
have;
if
other
info is needed from
him,
let
me
know
and
I'll
get
it
ASAP.
The
relevant
grand jury starts on
Feb
10.

Attachment to
federal
grand
jury
subpoena:


http://img806.imageshack.us/img806/1708/subz.jpg

"Owen" controls the
anonops.ruserver.
He
was
raided by
the
FBI
but
has
not
received any
subpoena.
He
doesn't
seem
interested
in
any
legal
advice
until
such point as he is
required
to
get
off
his
ass
by
the
Feds.

"Rabbit"/"No" is a
19-year-old
Nevada
female.
Her
family
home was
raided
and
she was questioned
at
that
point.
She
actually
called
right
after
I
got
off
with you and told me
the
following:

Equipment seized:

two broken laptops
two jump drives
father's laptop
mac book
samsung phone
iphone
router

The search warrant
was
shown
to
her
only
after
she
had
requested
to
see
it
several times and
was
questioned
about
MasterCard
etc
(it's
looking
like
the
MIAA thing may just
be
peripheral
or
even
unrelated,
as
I'm
just
now
able
to
determine). It's
headlined
United
States
District
Court
of
Nevada.
According
to one section, it
was
supposed
to
be
carried
out
by
Feb
9
-
one
day
before
the California grand
jury
goes
down.
She'll
be
able
to
scan
it
and
get
it
to
you or whoever ends
up
assisting
by
Thursday
but
it's in
reference
to
her
having allegedly
accessed a
secure
computer
to
obtain
information,
18
U.S.
c
1030a2c.

Hey, Barrett.

I'm working on a
story
about
the
DoJ's
efforts
to
prosecute
individuals
associated with
Anonymous
and
the
DDoS
attacks
against
PayPal
and
others.

The NYT mentioned
that
you're
helping
to
organize
legal
assistance
for
some of those
arrested
and
released
recently.
Do
you
have
a
couple
of
minutes to talk.
I'm
interested
in
your
sense
of
what
DoJ's
strategy
is
here. Is this
about
making
some
examples
from
a
few
people
associated
with
Anonymous. Are
they
trying
to
go
after
leaders
in
the
hopes of
beheading
the
group (which
seems
unlikely,
give
the
nature).

And I'm also just
interested
in
what
exactly
people
are
being
charged
with. From a
legal
perspective,
this
is
a
tricky
move
on
their
part.
