I'm a journalist associated with the Anonymous movement and I wanted to check in with you to see if you're still the homepage editor at the Daily Beast, and if so, if you might be interested in a longform piece including some behind-the-scenes info on what happened with HBGary, what other companies and individuals have escaped due scrutiny despite having been involved, and how the acquired e-mails have since led to a broader investigation into what's known as "persona management" software (which itself facilitates the use of multiple sockpuppets by a single person and which CENTCOM has recently had to admit using, although they claim to use it only abroad and never in English). Basically, a lot more has gone down since then but a lot of us stopped talking to the press due to certain developments, including a stepped-up FBI investigation (I just confirmed last week that I myself am being investigated after talking to an agent based in Maryland). Let me know if you'd like to hear a bit more.
