PITTSBURGH (AP) — An Ohio man has been accused of threatening to release private records on students at the University of Pittsburgh that he allegedly claimed were stolen by the international hacking group Anonymous. The campus was subject to a series of dozens of bomb threats this year. Authorities say Alexander Waterland, of Loveland, Ohio, threatened to release the hacked records unless the school apologized for not "protecting" students from the earlier bomb threats. Investigators say Waterland posted the message using the computer name AnonOperative13 claiming that a computer hacking group known as "Anonymous" had stolen records of students, faculty and alumni from university computers. Pitt officials haven't immediately commented on the arrest. It's unclear if the suspect has an attorney. Copyright 2012 The Associated Press. |
