Anonymous take down the law firm that defended the US Marines involved in Haditha

Anonymous May Have Completely Destroyed This Military Law Firm

Anonymous' gutting of Puckett & Faraj, the firm that defended the Marines behind the Haditha Killing, might have been more than a major embarrassment. The hack attack might have killed the group entirely.

In an email released by Anonymous in the wake of the attack—suggesting they still had their hands inside the attorneys' bowels after the news broke—we see the firm scrambling to understand and react to the strike. They don't do so well. Their web host is clueless, conceding "Anonymous is a little out of my league" and suggesting a call to the FBI. It was a little too late for the FBI to help by this point—Anon was already in and out, and nobody had even noticed: "Why the ************************ does [our host] not know about this before we have to tell them," despairs partner Haytham Faraj. "Not sure how this will affect the business of the firm going forward," says namesake attorney Neal Puckett, "but for now, we're not able to do any business."

"This may completely destroy the Law Firm," laments Marcy Atwood, the Pucket & Faraj's business manager.

For those not up to speed on Haditha...

Haditha killings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A group of Marines after seeing one of their own killed by an IED went house to house in a village and summarily executed 24 people, mostly women and children, in their homes while they slept, including one in a wheelchair that they shot in the head at point blank range.

They went to court last week and half of them walked, while a few received a small reduction in rank and a pay cut.

The law firm above was the group of lawyers that defended them.

A website is merely a poster. An email account is one of many forms of communication. A temporary attack hardly destroys legal representative firm, but attacking lawyers borders on the fascist.

That is fairly outrageous.

I hoped they get tracked down.

And the powers that be let it be known that any lawyer that represents them might be facing computer and confidentiality issues, if their clients think this is an appropriate way of dealing with matters.

As someone who was giving out sh1t about the acquittals last week, I oppose this move. It's a terrible precedent.

If your a lawyer fairly easy to fatally destroy a case like this
Crime scene evidence you are having laugh? It's a war zone.
Witnesses Iraqis when they are not being dishonest are unlikely to visit the US.

So you've got dead Iraqis whatever the press finds or says its not evidence.

Possibly true, but that is not the fault of the lawyers.

They are guilty as hell.
Proving it even in a military court kind of hard.
Going after the defence team is pretty dodgy.

A website is not merely a poster. It is a very sophisticated tool.

Every email account has an inbox, sent item folder and stored contacts. I will let you work it out as to how that can destroy a business.

A web server and an email server are two entirely different things.

A web server and an email server are two entirely different things.

The law firm say their emails were hacked. I imagine they are worried about what is in the emails which are about to be leaked.
