Anonymous - Don't hack charities or people trying to help kids

[silicon_toad2000]

A Harry Potter fan's attempt to impress hacktivist collective Anonymous by defacing a charity's website has backfired and his alleged identity handed over to cops.

RedSky, a video production firm that produced a documentary to help raise cash for underprivileged kids in New Zealand, was done over by the black hat hacker who uses the Twitter profile AnonVoldemort. Bryan Bruce, the filmmaker whose RedSky.tv website was trashed by the self-style Dark Lord, issued a plea on Facebook for help in restoring the site and tracking down the perp.

Members of Anonymous responded by discovering AnonVoldemort's supposed real name and alleged location, and supplied the information to Bruce. He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named was outed after Anons were unable to persuade the hacker to hand over a copy of the original files on RedSky.tv before it was vandalised.
