from what i've heard on this (i haven't actually downloaded the torrent or read any of the files) i'm not really a fan. they gave personal information about officers and people in DPS. it's one thing to harass the sheriff or whoever else, it's another thing entirely to put information about lower level people (who might not have anything to do with the decision making/policy/etc) out in public.

i think it's awesome!

agreed. i haven't read the documents either but if they're putting officers and their families who aren't even associated with sb1070 in danger then it's a flawed way of making a point. if it's more targeted than that and doesn't put innocent people in jeopardy then i'm all for it.

great, how many millions in tax money will AZ now spend to defend against these attacks.

Since I am an employee of the state, I would hope that my information would not be compromised because of something the state or university supports.

[hexaclopsclopsclops]

I think if you are an employee of the state, your information is already public information, n'est pas?

[raubhimself]

Yes, but only certain information and in certain context. The state has my SSN but it's not public. And it's not like my info that is public is meant to be out on a file sharing service. Plus, it's easy to be put into negative light by association without there really being a connection. If they pull 15 peoples' emails about some shitty thing and include my emails in, regardless if mine have anything to do with the shitty thing or not, it can look bad for me. I mean, Sarah Palin had a bunch of emails leaked and most people have an opinion on those without even having read them or knowing what they said. All that has to be reported is: this topic was found in emails and these names were included. Bam.

Basically, yeah my info is public but that doesn't make it ok for a group of hackers to decide when and how to present that information.

i doubt they are "after" you or your information. i suspect it's mostly associated with the governor's office (and if you work for Brewer you deserve it) and the MCSO (and if you work for Sheriff Joe-No, then you deserve it) or Russell Pearce's office (and if you work for Russell Pearce you deserve it)

jacki, that's a pretty flimsy argument and you know it. maybe not for the pearce camp - it's small enough that you probably have to be some sort of monster to work there. but for the mcso and governors office i'm sure there are plenty of non-partisan people who are just trying to do their jobs (investigators, legal aides, admin types), and this impacts them. i don't think it would be reasonable to expect them to quit as some form of protest just because jan brewer is retarded.

your head and vagina would simultaneously explode from anger if there was some right wing equivalent group that hacked into the planned parenthood database and published all their employee information.

my head and vagina do not explode because that happens all the time. not only do they hack into shit but they murder people, blow up buildings and harass customers.

it's not a flimsy argument. they are after those who crafted SB1070 and the like. it's not about politics, it's about human rights. if you are working in those offices (brewer, Arpaio, pearce) then you are supporting people who actively work at violating human rights and bankrupting this state.

it's not like your personal info can't get hacked into when you play video games online (SONY) or shop online or do anything today what with the digital revolution and all. Your personal info is readily available, doesn't matter where you work.

i'm sorry, i still think it's awesome. it's people standing up to hate that has permeated our state government.

fair enough, but i disagree. for some people a job is just a job, not a political statement.

just like being a nazi was just a job.....

I mean technically I work for Jan Brewer if you want to follow the chain all the way up... I can't even vote in this state!

Those hackers don't know the hierarchy or who does what and trust me, as a developer/database guy, it's much easier just to grab and dump as much as you can than to specify who/what you want or manually sort through it. I haven't looked at their dumps though, so I don't know what they are providing.

ughh gross, my respect for you has fallen.
