FBI raids hackers

‘Anonymous’ not living up to their name

Federal investigators raided the New York homes of three suspected members of the hackers’ group Anonymous on Tuesday, according to Fox News. Anonymous, a loose collection of online activists, has claimed responsibility for a number of cyber attacks against companies including Visa and MasterCard. More than ten FBI agents searched the home of Giordani Jordan in Baldwin, N.Y. at around 6 a.m. They removed at least one laptop. Two other houses were also searched. All three suspects are in their late teens or 20s.
