OK, what Keys did was wrong. But if he caused the Tribune Company to spend thousands of dollars protecting their servers, then they were dropping the ball… they should have been protecting their servers before the hack.
Um, why is Anonymous stooping to hacking a website to alter a story?
Isn’t that pathetic?? I mean, of all the corruption, the graft, the inequities that exist in all societies, is this really the best they can do? I expect a lot more from them.
This guy was threatened with 25 years for a Twitter crime. Got 2 years. Affluenza kid, 4 deaths, got 2 years. Blankenship, many more deaths, 1 year.
Not impressed.
He should do two years (18 months with good behavior) for being so stupid. Wanna-have tech-savvy has consequences it seems.
Prosecutors said employees spent 333 hours responding to the hack at a cost of nearly $18,000.
That’s right, folks. They put their best guys on it — only cost nearly $54 an hour! (BTW: It was actually 29.422 hours, but they sent the figure to a CPA who, after consulting a mathematician and consolidating their fees, arrived at 333 hours, after much rounding.
The nation has priorities, you know.
Nice photo caption.
One looks older than 29, the other younger. Would it really kill you, Josh, to include somewhere next to Keys’ name in the text a “(pictured above, at left/right)”?
Or perhaps this is just a stock photo meant to illustrate what a human male looks like and neither of them is Matthew Keys.
I wouldn’t put that past TPM. This website has zero professionalism when it comes to captioning photos.
Such a bad joke. People get stays of impositions, stays of adjudications, community work service, and all kinds of other alternatives when they do much worse (assaulting spouses/children, neglecting kids, allowing kids to die due to neglect based on their religious beliefs, etc).
This guy gets two years in federal prison? WTF.
So … you’re new here? Fret not, I’ve called the wambulance.
Take a breath.
