We've always wondered what would happen if a cybercrime dragnet collided with artsy Brooklynites. Earlier this week, denizens of one Williamsburg loft complex found out as the feds raided their weed-laced bohemian paradise.

It seems that some sort of internet trickster — a LMAO Loki, a ROFL Rumpelstiltskin — hacked into sad-puppy actor Zach Braff's five-year-dormant website and wrote a message from Zach announcing to his fans that he is a gay person.

We spoke too soon. Today's raids of at least 14 homes throughout the country by the FBI weren't part of just another intelligence-gathering move in an ongoing investigation targeting the hacking group Anonymous. The feds have arrested 14 people—in states including Florida, Washington, California and New York—on suspicion of being involved with the group, according to according to CNN.

The FBI investigation into the hacking collective Anonymous is still plodding along. Ten FBI agents raided three New York guys and took away their computer stuff.

The hacking group LulzSec appears to be back, with a very timely hack of Rupert Murdoch's British tabloid The Sun—the sister publication of the dead News of the World. And they warn, ominously, that they've got emails, too.

If you need any more proof that the hacking group Anonymous has achieved rockstar status in certain nerdy circles, check out their groupies. SexyFawkes is a porn site (NSFW) of naked ladies (mostly) wearing the group's signature Guy Fawkes' mask.

Foreign hackers made off with 24,000 sensitive documents in what the Pentagon is calling one of its worst breaches in history, including data on spy gear, missile tracking systems, and warplanes. But hey, at least it prompted Defense Department bureaucrats to write up a very very strong plan.

One of the favorite pastimes of hackers is attempting to expose other hackers. These attempts at "doxing," as it's called, almost always identify the wrong people. The latest victim is a Portuguese guy who's been fingered as a ringleader of the hacking groups Anonymous and Lulz Security.

Around a year after Bradley Manning was arrested for allegedly leaking to Wikileaks, Wired has finally published the full chat logs between the Army private and hacker Adrian Lamo, who turned him into authorities. Man, does Lamo come across as a scumbag.

Booz Allen Hamilton is a massive American consulting firm that does a substantial amount of work for the Pentagon. This means they've got a lot of military business on their servers, which Anonymous hacked. Today they've leaked it. Gizmodo]

This summer it seems every day brings dire news of a new data breach perpetrated by shadowy hackers. For those prone to panic, it might be enough to end in a hospital visit. But there's no need to freak out about every single attack reported by a hacker-obsessed media.

Murdered teenager Milly Dowler wasn't the only person whose voicemail was hacked by the unscrupulous folks at News Corp paper News of the World—it now appears that the families of victims of the 7/7 terrorist bombings in London were "targets" as well.

The Fox News Politics Twitter account was hacked early this morning, and a number of Tweets claiming that President Obama had been assassinated were sent out. Fox has acknowledged the hack, but apparently still can't access the account—as of this post, the Tweets still haven't been taken down.

The hacking group Anonymous claims it's stolen and leaked personal emails and other documents—including "seductive girlfriend pictures"—belonging to Arizona Department of Public Safety officers. Hacker Summer continues.

Let the hackathon continue with Anonymous now in the driver's seat after LulzSec called it quits. This time the target is not the small country of Anguilla, but the major media companies Viacom and Universal Music. [Gizmodo]

Oh, no! Erotic photobloggers and magazine interns everywhere were rocked with the news today that microblogging service Tumblr was the site of a prolonged "phishing" attack that seems to have stolen thousands of Tumblr logins and passwords. How will we ever be able to trust our favorite dogs-wearing-human-clothes blogs again?

Just a month after George "GeoHot" Hotz was sued by Sony for hacking the PlayStation 3, he's got a new gig: He's working at Facebook. Think of what kind of example this sets for the kids.

The 19-year-old suspect in the Lulz Security hacking spree has been been charged with "cybercrimes," including a DDoS attack on the British Serious Organized Crime Agency, according to Sky News—no charges related to hacks in the U.S. were filed.

UK police have arrested a 19-year-old Essex man in connection with recent hacking attacks. Alas, it doesn't seem likely, as some media reports suggest, that this guy is a "mastermind" of the Lulz Security hacking group.

The swashbuckling hacking group Lulz Security says it's teaming up with fellow hacking group Anonymous to wage war on government agencies and anyone who gets in their way. Everyone: Change all your passwords to ninety-character strings of random letters and symbols!
