Why the flying hell is Ars Technica acting like a brainless stooge for America's rich and powerful? Only a brainless stooge can learn about HBGary Federal's attempts to launch black ops campaigns against good, honest people, and still write this:

With arrests, HBGary hack saga finally ends

By Peter Bright | Published 25 minutes ago

A little over a year ago, small security firm HBGary Federal made the news for all the wrong reasons: it had been hacked, its CEO had been made a laughing stock, and its private e-mails were splashed across the Internet. The perpetrators, a group of hackers sympathetic to the Anonymous group, trashed HBGary Federal's servers and name with impunity, confident that tor [q. v.] and private VPNs would keep their identities secret.

Yeah, Anonymous's "Sabu" is now behind bars, therefore -- poof! -- all the black ops campaigns suddenly no longer exist, there's no social injustice, and balance is restored to the universe. Yeah right. What idiots.

blurb

.:Introduction:.

(If you don't already know what "climate change" or "global warming" is, read Weart's excellent write-up first.)

In 2009, a UK climatology centre, the Climatic Research Unit of the University of East Anglia, was hit by a cyber-attack. E-mails and data were stolen, and published on the Internet in two batches, once in 2009 shortly before the UN Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark, and once in 2011 shortly before the conference in Durban, South Africa. Global warming `skeptics' -- people who dispute that the Earth is warming due to mankind's burning of fossil fuels -- quickly used the e-mails to portray global warming as being a hoax, and tried to manufacture a 'Climategate scandal' of climate science.

This blog comments on SwiftHack -- the cyber-attack on climate science -- and seeks to uncover the truth behind the events surrounding the attack.

For background and more, see the links on the right side of the page.

.:Attention!:.
