It
is claimed by the Startfor hacker Jeremy Hammond that the “FBI” used
the convicted hacker Hector Monsegur, better knows as sabu to coordinate
attacks against foreign governments.
Hammond wrote a statement in prison while awaiting trial, he wrote:
“It is widely known that Sabu was used to build cases against a number
of hackers, including myself. What many do not know is that Sabu was
also used by his handlers to facilitate the hacking of targets of the
government’s choosing – including numerous websites belonging to foreign
governments.”
“What the US could not accomplish legally, it
used Sabu, and by extension, me and my co-defendants, to accomplish
illegally. The questions that should be asked today go way beyond what
an appropriate sentence for Sabu might be:
“Why was the US
using us to infiltrate the private networks of foreign governments? What
are they doing with the information we stole? And will anyone in our
government ever be held accountable for these crimes?”
Hammond was behind an attack against intelligence consultancy Stratfor, releasing some 200 gigabytes of documents to Wikileaks.
The statement above by Hammond came just before US Law enforcement
agency, FBI claimed “Victory” over the hacking group Anonymous and said
“We have Dismantled Anonymous“ because most of its “largest players”
have been arrested or detained by them.
“All of these guys were
major players in the Anonymous movement, and a lot of people looked to
them just because of what they did,” Austin Berglas, assistant special
agent in charge of the FBI’s cyber division in New York, told the
Huffington Post.
And after the statement by FBI that they have cut anonymous in pieces or dismantled them, Anonymous hacked:
* BI Internal server and dumped large amounts of data
* Details of All US Federal Reserve Bank Employees and leaked
After the hacks, FBI said:
“The movement is still there, and they’re still yacking on Twitter and
posting things, but you don’t hear about these guys coming forward with
those large breaches,” he said. “It’s just not happening, and that’s
because of the dismantlement of the largest players.”
In the
meantime, the sentencing of hacker Sabu has been delayed for the second
time this year. Facing up to 124 years in prison, he is expected to
receive a lighter sentence as a result of his cooperation with the FBI.
