Anonymous vs. HBGary: the aftermath

Anonymous vs. HBGary: the aftermath: "'Millions in damages'

The fallout from the whole debacle endures. In the wake of the attack, HBGary's Penny Leavy and Greg Hoglund (they are married) entered the Anonymous IRC channel #ophbgary to plead in vain for Greg's e-mails to stay private. (Several less relevant remarks have been removed from the transcript for easier reading.)

< greg> so you got my email spool too then

<&Sabu> yes greg.

<@`k> greg we got everything

< Agamemnon> Greg, I'm curious to know if you understand what we are about?
Do you understand why we do what we do?

< greg> you realize that releasing my email spool will cause
millions in damages to HBGary?

<@`k> yes

< c0s> greg: another reason its not out yet.

< Agamemnon> yes we do greg

<@`k> greg is will be end of you :) and your company"
