[Quote]Two North Carolina men were arrested Thursday and charged in connection with a computer hacker network that allegedly targeted CIA Director John Brennan and other senior government officials.
Prosecutors say Boggs and Liverman were members of a hacking group called “Crackas With Attitude.”[/quote]
[Quote]In one exchange, Boggs tells “Cracka” that he wants to hack Victim 1’s agency because “I’ve been looking for evidence of aliens,” according to the affidavit.
News accounts indicate that the Crackas hackers targeted Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and had his phones forwarded to the Free Palestine Movement.
In another case, they pretended to be Edward Snowden when they contacted their victim.
According to the affidavit, Boggs and Liverman lived in their respective parents’ homes. They used the hacked accounts to send harassing messages to their victims.[/quote]
Say what you will about how dumb their crime was, but that's a pretty good group name.
Just imagine if "but i was looking for aliens, your honor" was a valid defense in court.

"I was looking for aliens, your honour"

That sounds like the "it fell off of a truck" excuse.

Sounds like something Israel will do.
