66 year old British Rock Guitarist jailed for taking part in 2010 Anonymous DDoS campaign called Operation Payback

2014-12-08
Radio.com Geoffrey “Jake” Commander, a British musician who’s worked with George Harrison, Elton John and Electric Light Orchestra, has been jailed due to his participation in a hack of the MasterCard website by the activist group Anonymous.
According to The Washington Post, Commander was one of 13 people charged last year for online attacks against various online financial institutions, which initially had the 66-year-old guitarist facing up to 10 years in prison.
This past Friday (Dec. 5), the case was dropped to a misdemeanor, with Commander still facing as much as a year behind bars. Ultimately, he was sentenced to 10 days in an Alexandria, Va., jail, with credit for one day served after his initial arrest.
He’s expected to be released early next week.

The charges stem from an incident in December of 2010 when the guitarist stumbled into an online Anonymous chat room and willfully clicked on a link “used by hackers to fire off a huge amount of traffic to a target site, resulting in servers crashing” while he was living in New Hampshire.
His computer specifically targeted MasterCard, which would go on to lose more than $1 million in the online attacks.
During the trial, U.S. District Judge Liam O’Grady admitted to being a fan of classic rock. It was also revealed that Commander had once set up a White House tour for Electric Light Orchestra back in 1978.
“I’m mortified to have upset the government of this country, which has been my host for many years,” Commander told the judge during the proceedings.
Commander and his family moved back to England years ago, with the guitarist promising to never return to America after his incarceration.

KRIGET MOT KONTANTERNA
SvaraRaderaSOU_2014_72
Ett lagförslag har nyss lagts fram som innebär att det blir förbjudet att handla skrot kontant. Lagförslaget innebär också att Skatteverket kan göra tillslag utan förvarning med assistans av polis hos skrothandlare.
Attackerna på kontanterna avlöser varandra. Vi ska vänjas vid att allt ska skötas elektroniskt. Bankernas kontroll blir total. I utredningen används konsekvent ordet "kontantförbud", som en förvarning om vad som komma skall.
Utredningen och lagförslaget finns här:
