Hacktivist group Anonymous took control of the U.S. Sentencing Commission website Friday, January 25 in a new campaign called "Operation Last Resort."
The first attack on the website was early Friday morning. The second - successful - attack came around 9pm PST that evening. anonymous
By 3am PST ussc.gov was down (it has since been dropped from the DNS), yet as of this writing the IP address (66.153.19.162) still returns the defaced site's contents.
It appears that via the U.S. government website, Anonymous had distributed encrypted government files and left a statement on the website that de-encryption keys would be publicly released (thus releasing the as-yet unkonwn information held on the stolen files) if the U.S. government did not comply with Anonymous' ultimatum demands for legal reform.
Anonymous has not specified exactly what files they have obtained. The various files were named after Supreme Court judges.

Looks like the Roberts file has been cleaned of the incriminating evidence. Probably the payoff for the ObamaCare decision.
Before the Internet everything could be kept in file cabinets and locked away. Now everything is just left on the side of the road waiting to be unlocked by the skillful and tenacious. All encryption and firewalls are is camouflage.
It may be that some clerks are assigned to collect all negative information—proven, speculative or false—on each justice that is published on the Internet. This might be done so the justices can periodically look at what is being said about them. Anonymous may have these files. But I'm just guessing.
Discovery channel is going to have a special on the video of the Giant Jellyfish. Say it's not a coincidence!!!!
This is a threat against judges to toe the line. Obamacare should never have made it past the Supreme Court. But it did. What cases is the court now considering? Unconstitutional appointments? What else? Marriage of two men? Marriage of man and goat?
Fotos of a SCOTUS with a goat?
If they have a hair on their asses they’ll hijack the superbowl halftime show.
Just like ‘Used Cars’.
Yeah...Ruth Bader Ginsberg had an affair with Lincoln.
This will go over like another lead balloon, just like the others.
Interesting take on the numbers. I did not think that way at all!
Does it say they are files about each member or just that their names were used to ID files? Who knows what they might contain? Issues that they wrote about or something completely different?
Anonymous.... heroes or terrorists?
I wish I knew.
Strange timing.
My daughter just sent me a photo of a snow scene and person walking in the drifts. Title: “It is so cold I saw a Democrat with his hands in his OWN pockets!”
The same dirt on Roberts that was used to blackmail him into his 0bamacare decision.. Perhaps his children are illegal aliens? Or maybe ‘men’s bathhouse’ photos?
The coup is taking too long. There’s a set amount of time from the beginning of a coup to its successful conclusion. Any more time than that, and the idealists - the “useful idiots” - who put the coup into power will realize that their leaders are just power-hungry thugs after all. Oliver Stone has awakened. Sounds like anonymous is now awakening.
My husband was not happy to hear me describe this situation or the emotions I have regarding this. It’s sort of like torture. Nobody wants torture, nobody wants to be “the bad guy”. But when you have to decide which takes precedence - the comfort of one killer, or the lives of perhaps thousands of intended targets - sometimes you have to make the ugly decision.
Right now this country is headed towards civil war. American gun owners are waiting for somebody to try to take their guns away, and the Obama regime is waiting for a trigger to allow them to do so. I believe actually trying to goad the gun owners into creating a trigger. We’re like two armies lined up against each other, just waiting for somebody to accidentally let fly so the war can start. That’s the overt picture.
Enter the covert picture. The “useful idiots” are seeing that the regime is not only lawless but uses their power to screw everybody they can. They’re disillusioned. They know that the powers-that-be don’t give a rip about truth or justice. It’s all sausage. So they are going to hold a gun to the heads of the people making the sausage, saying, “You will do the right thing using the ‘proper’ channels, or you will get a taste of your own medicine.” We have all wondered how to get the process to hear us and take us seriously. Well, anonymous is doing it by holding a gun to the players who are screwing us all.
In effect, they are waterboarding the US government.
I don’t want to be the person who makes the call about torture. I don’t want government to be able to be terrorized by some anarchist group (although it sounds like this “anarchist” group has realized that lawlessness doesn’t work).
I think what we’ve got here is a last-ditch effort to avoid civil war. No law-abiding citizen wants civil war. But then, no law-abiding citizen wants the lawlessness of the current regime and the puppet structures of a dead republic either. We’ve got the choice between bad and bad. Torture of the guilty or death of the innocent.
My husband was glad to hear that I’m among the voices still trying to work things out through the “legitimate legal” means - the kind of voices that anonymous is saying the government needs to listen to, or face the consequences. I’m a spectator to the covert means. I know nothing about them and have nothing to do with them. How do I feel about those covert means? Torn. That’s all anybody reasonable can feel. It’s encouraging to me that the anonymous folks seem to be somewhat torn as well. The only people who don’t seem to be torn about the whole mess this country is in are the people who enjoy their power too much to be torn about anything.
Can’t have the plebes finding out who paid Roberts off and how much.
The Occupantloads are trolling again.
