   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.
