After garnering intense media coverage (CNN, C|NET, WIRED, etc.) over his extremely early reporting of the MOD and gH attacks, John Vranesevich of AntiOnline has used that spotlight to further his own agenda. Now he has admitted to nurturing a hatred of hacking and the underground as a whole and at the same time aiding and abetting criminal acts, "Many times, I knew about these instances before hand, and could have stopped them."

AntiOnline Statement

A special report has now been released that details the close ties that John Vranesevich of AntiOnline has with the evil doers of the underground. This report claims that John Vranesevich actually paid individuals who later broke into web sites and then gave him 'exclusive' reports. This report is highly suggested reading for any journalist or reporter who has ever questioned Mr. Vranesevich about anything. It is also suggested that 'customers' of the AntiOnline Knowledge Base read this report and be familiar as to the type of person that is supplying this information. And finally any law enforcement officer who is investigating the whitehouse.gov or any other MOD cracks should absolutely read this report.

In light of all the media attention that hackers have gotten over the last few weeks it is apparent that most reporters and journalists are having a difficult time in accurately reporting the computer underground. While no one is claiming that it is easy, HNN editor Space Rogue takes a look at some of the more common pitfalls in this new Buffer Overflow article.

Last Friday at 2pm in front of federal courthouses in over 16 cities people who could no longer sit down while excessive punishment was dealt by an overreaching government, gathered together to protest the large number of injustices perpetrated during the trial of Kevin Mitnick. At the demonstrations in Philadelphia a large paper mache Liberty Bell was displayed. Reba Mitnick, Kevin's grandmother was present at her local demonstration. In New York a skywriter wrote FREE KEVIN over Central Park and in San Francisco low flying airplanes carried FREE KEVIN banners.
