      http://www.theatlanticwire.com/technology/2011/09/lulzsec-hacker       exposed-service-he-thought-would-hide-him/42895/              http://tinyurl.com/3gwuyqf              Partial quote from article..              On Thursday, the FBI arrested two suspected hackers who allegedly        participated in Anonymous and LulzSec attacks. One of them, Cody       Kretsinger, faces 15 years in prison for allegedly helping break       into the Sony Pictures website with an SQL injection and       publishing user data. As we described on Thursday, the indictment       against Kretsinger says he used what's called a proxy server to       hide his identity while carrying out the attack. But on Friday it       emerged that the site he allegedly used to disguise his identity       cooperated with police working to track him down. That's got some       in the online privacy community very nervous.              The federal indictment against Kretsinger charges that he used a       proxy server site called Hidemyass.com to disguise his Internet       protocol address. By transmitting data through the proxy, a       hacker can hide his or her ISP from the target. But since the       proxy server gets between the machines on either end of that       exchange, it is in a position to know details about the hacker.              --- Thunderbird 2.0.0.24 (Windows/20100228)        * Origin: Fidonet Via Newsreader - http://www.easternstar.info (1:123/789)    |
