Crack gets a bit-part in “#Underground, The Julian Assange Story” /cc @alexwilliams282
Bastards wiped my credit, though 🙂 I feel I should post these as 256-colour GIFs, but: I am pretty sure I never wired it to automatically telnet directly into the target machine as the cracked user; Julian must have been running MovieOS extensions on his system.

http://blog.nearlyfreespeech.net/2012/10/06/official-uk-government-attempt-at-censorship/: Today, we received a first for us, a letter from the actual UK Treasury Solicitor’s office, the branch of the UK government charged with suing people on behalf of the rest of the UK government.
