Reddit got the Boston Bombers identities wrong too.
http://nation.time.com/2013/04/23/inside-reddits-hunt-for-the-boston-bombers/
Without the filter that news organizations have traditionally used to sort good information from bad, or the ability to confirm facts with reliable law-enforcement officials, Reddits hive mind is often abuzz with misinformation. None of the photos of potential suspects circulating the Internet in the days immediately following the bombing picked out the Tsarnaevs.
Except this guy admits he's the one who posted the photos on board.4chan.org. He is now claiming he's not the guy who broke into the accounts and stole the pictures. He admits, though, that he was trying to sell access to the more salacious photos. He may be disingenuous about not being the hacker, because it was pointed out to him that some guy in Florida is now doing ten years in a Federal prison for ONE hacking and stealing just two nude pics of a nobody. and publicly posting them.
