Anonymous and LulzSec case: four accused males appear in court

[The Northerner]

Four British males have been banned from using online nicknames after they appeared in court charged with attacks connected to Anonymous and LulzSec.

The four men – Peter David Gibson, 22, Ashley Rhodes, 26, Christopher Weatherhead, 20, and a 17-year-old student – were released on bail after the hearing at Westminster magistrates court on Wednesday morning.

The group's bail conditions mean they are prohibited from using specific online nicknames on sites including Facebook and Twitter.

The four men are also banned using so-called "internet relay chat", the online forums where Anonymous members are alleged to have coordinated many of the attacks.

The four men are separately charged with conspiracy to carry out an unauthorised act in relation to a computer. They were arrested earlier this year by police investigating online attacks by the notorious hacking groups Anonymous and LulzSec.

My own understanding is that the whole thing is so completely unorganized and decentralized that this will have absolutely no effect.

Good luck to the power elite on keeping everything hidden away from the general public. They're going to need it.
