Alleged Anonymous Member Arrested By Hong Kong Police Over Facebook Threat
This Sunday Hong Kong police had arrested a 21-year-old man after he reportedly said on social networking site Facebook that he would hack several government websites. Police said the man, who was later released on bail, was held on suspicion of "access to a computer with criminal or dishonest intent" after he allegedly threatened to hack seven government websites between June and August this year. It has been found that the he man is a active member of the infamous hacker collective group Anonymous. The group is said to have 20 members in the semi-autonomous Chinese territory, which guarantees civil liberties not seen on the mainland, including freedom of speech. Though the police spokesman declined to confirm his link to Anonymous. The last posting on the "Anonymous HK" Facebook page on July 22 urged authorities to show "respect" to citizens.
It seems that the time is not going good for hacker collective Anonymous. Few days ago key members ofLulzsec and Anon get busted by FBI. It is reported that the arrests were made possible after turning the group’s "senior leader", Hector Xavier Monsegur aka "Sabu", 28, who is believed to be a cooperative witness after the FBI turned him last June. Earlier in this month Interpoll arrested 25 suspected Anonymous hacker as part of Operation Unmask. In February three Greek teenagers have been arrestedfor hacking into the Ministry of Justice website, also in January a 22 year aged student arrested in south-western Poland for allegedly hacking the prime minister's website and local authority said that he was a part of Hactivist Anonymous. We would also like to remind you the very decent past when few hackers from another hacker collective group named TeaMp0isoN get busted by MI6. Later the authority send the leader of TeaMp0isoN named TriCK behind bars. So after reviewing all the scenario, one summary is coming out and that is, not only Federal Authorities but also Governments from several parts of the world are no longer showing any mercy to hackers.
