The group that did this, "The Script Kiddies," is connected to/an admirer of LulzSec, which was comprised of a couple of people I used to work with, including Topiary and Sabu, as well as a couple of others I still work with, such as AVunit and, to a lesser extent, JoePie91. LulzSec no longer exists as members Topiary and Kayla have been arrested, Sabu is is hiding, and the others are scattered around, and I don't think they know who's in The Script Kiddies anyway (and even if they did, they wouldn't tell). As for Script Kiddies and their previous acts, here's a link with some more info about how they hit Fox News, etc a while back: http://www.dailytech.com/LulzSec+Hacks+Apple+The+Script+Kiddies+Hack+Fox+News/article22066.htm.

Also, this isn't public yet, but I and Gregg Housh, one of the people who helped turn Anonymous into what it is today back in early 2008, are being repped by Writer's House on a book we're writing about Anon and some of our past targets, and will be in meetings in NYC later this month with a couple of major publishers who are already interested in putting it out. Aside from providing an inside look at Anonymous, the book will also reveal details about several classified government programs and related things that we've uncovered thanks to the tens of thousands of e-mails Anon and other groups have stolen from NATO and contractors like HBGary. Again, no announcement on the book will be made for at least another month, but if you want to talk about some of the things that will be coming out, let me know.

Barrett-- as you might have heard, the NBC news twitter account was hacked late this afternoon by somebody who posted bogus info about a terror attack on Ground Zero. Have you heard anything about this-- or whether somebody has taken credit, etc?
