Anonymous Leaks Nude Pics of BART Spokesman
Anonymous has declared war on San Francisco's commuter subway system, BART. They've staged protests and hacked website, but a leak of nude pics of a BART spokesman has taken things to another, more personal level.
SF Weekly reports that a member of Anonymous has set up a blog (NSFW) exposing BART spokesman Linton Johnson's, uh, Johnson. The blog shows a couple shots of Johnson cavorting at an outdoor party, pulling down his pants and revealing his dong. Also the message: "If you are going to be a dick to the public, then I'm sure you dont mind showing your dick to the public…"
Linton became an Anonymous target after he revealed that he was the one who came up with the idea to shut down cell service at BART stations to prevent protests earlier this month over the shooting death of a homeless man at the hands of BART Police. In their ongoing "Operation Bart," Anonymous has hacked BART passenger and police databases, and shut down a number of stations with real-life protests for two weeks in a row now.
The intensely personal attack on Linton mirrors what Anonymous did to former defense contractor Aaron Barr last year: They broke into his and his colleagues' email and posted their in-boxes for anyone on the internet to search through. If you're going to take on Anonymous, be sure you've changed all your passwords and stored your nude pics in a footlocker buried underneath your floorboards. They're basically an amoral Wikileaks for normal people.
