Hey there. So, did Anonymous really knock the website for DoJ offline? Can you give me a quick confirmation and rationale (megaupload, i'm guessing)?

I haven't heard anything about this, but will ask around. I'd be surprised
if it were actually the case.

Hey Barrett.

Off the record, is anonymous sitting on an email cache from Hunton &
Williams. I have a source involved in the forensics that said Anons

rifled

the email server and got the archive. He said the firm is afraid you guys
are sitting on it and are going to post it at some point of your

choosing.

It all sounds plausible except for the 'sitting on it' part. That's not
usually how it's gone. If they've got the emails (which have GOT TO be
fascinating) why sit on them? As a result, I'm a bit skeptical. The Anons
could be using it for leverage -- 'if H&W hires anybody to go after the
Anon's the cache gets posted' kind of thing.

So what do you know? Have they got the emails?
