The hacktivist group, Anonymous, has been rather quiet lately. The recent arrest of an alleged key player of LulzSec, Jake Davis, is to blame for the lull.
Davis, also known as “Topiary,” was arrested at his home in Scotland by an e-crime unit in late July.
Now the 19-year-old’s arrest has become the key motive for the latest attack.
Anonymous on Thursday added another casualty to their list, Texas law enforcement, with a massive email, internal documents and addresses leak.
Anon made their intentions clear in a statement that was released to the web:
“We are doing this in solidarity with the ‘Anonymous 16’ PayPal LOIC defendants, accused LulzSec member Jake Davis ‘Topiary,’ protesters arrested during #OpBart actions, Bradley Manning, Stephen Watt and other hackers and leakers worldwide,” the group said.
