Hacker group Anonymous outs internet bully
Wednesday 17 October 2012 @ 11.57 a.m. | IP & Media
The hacker group Anonymous has named a man it claims posted topless pictures of a 15-year-old girl online and
harassed her so mercilessly she committed suicide.
Amanda Todd, from Vancouver, Canada, was found hanged in her home on October 10, weeks after she uploaded a video to YouTube that describes - via a series of note cards - her treatment at the hands of a cyber bully.
Anonymous, the world's largest hacking group, united by anti-censorship ideals, turned
vigilante to track and expose the man who allegedly posted the photographs and harassed
the teenager via Facebook.
In a video posted to YouTube, a figure in a mask and with his voice disguised claims Anonymous discovered a connection between a 30-year-old man from British Columbia and Ms Todd.
Do you think this form of action by Anonymous is justified?
