Note: The following information is presented as best as possible. Contradictions have been streaming into the OSAll headquarters from two FBI agents, numerous Web site defacers and several other people. All claim to know what´s going on, but all contradict each other. We´re leaving this story intact for now, until the dust settles and we can determine the facts of the case, as it were.
Correction: YTCracker has not been raided.
OSAll spoke with YTCracker at 1:00pm eastern time, confirming that he had not been raided by the FBI or any other government agency.
Previous reports published on OSAll and HNN stated that YTCracker had been raided, citing rumors and, in one case on OSAll, an anonymous FBI source. It appears that these reports were incorrect.
As of right now it has been confirmed that Darkness has been visited by NASA investigative authorities. FBI visits have not been confirmed but have been mentioned by an anonymous FBI source.
The validity and reliability of this FBI source is being called into question as more evidence comes to light.
The source expects "a number of groups to fall soon" but gave no timeline or even a guarentee of further arrests.
The FBI has already seized logs relating to a number of attacks, including visiting an ISP that one defacer funneled his attacks through.
Both the FBI and US Attorney´s Office have denied official comment on an "ongoing investigation."
More information as it becomes available. |
