Press note: How does Defcon differ from your state fair?

'V for Vendetta' Inspires Anonymous, Creator David Lloyd Responds
As a loose collective of so-called "hackers" labeled Anonymous continues to cause mostly harmless chaos around the Internet, a symbol born from Alan Moore and David Lloyd's graphic novel V for Vendetta has become synonymous with the cause of radical transparency online. The Guy Fawkes-style mask worn by the character V was first used by Anonymous as way to publicly protest what they saw as the harmful indoctrination of Scientology, but has since evolved to encompass an entire movement that is as seemingly diverse as it is secretive.
Metropolitan Police takes to Twitter to warn Anonymous and LulzSec supporters
The Metropolitan Police has taken to Twitter to warn would-be hacktivists exactly which laws they will break if they engage in any illegal hacking activity. In an unusual move, the force, which is home to the Police Central e-Crime Unit, posted a link to a Tweetdeck statement revealing that investigations into Anonymous and LulzSec are ongoing, and that it wants to "remind people of the law in this area". "Anyone considering accessing a computer without authority should understand that such acts are unlawful and can carry a term of imprisonment," the Met said.JULY 19--Fourteen suspected members of "Anonymous" are named in an indictment unsealed today charging them with participating in an online attack against PayPal that was prompted by the company’s suspension of Wikileaks’s account.
