Anonymous’ Topiary gets a plea date

Jake Davis gets his time in court
Fri Jan 27 2012, 16:02

ALLEGED ANONYMOUS LINKED computer user Jake Davis was in a UK court today over hacking charges.

Davis, who apparently went by the online handle Topiary, was arrested last August and faces a charge of hacking into the web site of the UK Serious Organised Crime Agency. He was due to enter a plea today, but according to reports this will not happen until later.

"Update: Jake Davis to enter plea May 11th," says a tweet from a Twitter account associated with Anonymous.

According to a tweet from freelance journalist Ryan Gallagher, the case has been delayed because there is suspicion of involvement of other parties, possibly in the US.

"Davis' defence will find out more details, including 'letters from foreign jurisdictions', on 30 March, when new evidence entered," Gallagher tweeted.

Davis' case is linked to that of another Anonymous suspect, Ryan Cleary, who allegedly ran IRC chat rooms used by the hacktivist group. He too will enter a plea on 11 May. µ

Not really hackers

Anonymous aren't really hackers and I think it's important to distinguish the difference.

Well, for those that don't know the difference, hackers aren't stupid.

Denial doesn't change reality

As hackers are learning the hard way, denial doesn't change reality. They are going to get one helleva education at the Iron Bar Hotel.

Open your eyes Don.

If it wasn't for the corrupt Govs and Companies there would be no hacktivist.
Due to the extreme levels of corruption there will only be more. It's so sad. All we need are ethical leaders, but they arn't.
