My bigger concern would be that they condemn *ALL* hackers for the actions of these fucktards! I heard whispers of this at HOPE where they, or their agents, went around trying to recruit people to participate. I knew then that it would be bad news for all of us. Prepare to be basted by the mass media on the evils of hacking again. Right when we were making some headway too. :(
