Anonymous affiliate indicted for threats, stolen credit cards

A federal grand jury in Texas has indicted Barrett Brown in connection with a massive data breach of Stratfor Global Intelligence. Brown is accused of transferring a hyperlink from an Internet Relay Chat channel apparently occupied by Anonymous to a channel controlled by Brown. The hyperlink provided access to data stolen from Stratfor, which included more than 5000 credit card account numbers. Brown was arrested after posting a three-part video to YouTube that ran more than 43 minutes in which he threatened to “shoot and kill” any armed government officials who sought to arrest him.”]
