derGoldstein writes: TheRawStory reports: "A journalism student at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas who used the online alias "No" and "MMMM" faces 15 years in prison and $500,000 in fines if she is convicted of hacking charges related to the group "Anonymous."... the FBI arrested 20-year-old Mercedes Renee Haefer last week for allegedly participating in distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks against PayPal’s website." Anonymous responds through @AnonymousIRC: "[they] should know this will not make us stop. Quite the opposite. Expect a shitstorm in case of conviction."
