Ohio man pleads not guilty before federal judge on ‘Anonymous’ hacker threats against U. Pitt

Posted on August 28, 2012 by Dissent

Joe Mandack of AP reports:

An Ohio man charged with conspiracy for allegedly claiming to be part of the computer hacking group “Anonymous” and posting a YouTube threat to release confidential computer information belonging to the University of Pittsburgh pleaded not guilty on Tuesday.

Alexander Waterland, 24, of Loveland, Ohio, and his attorney declined comment after his 15-minute arraignment before U.S. Magistrate Judge Maureen Kelly.

A federal grand jury earlier this month indicted Waterland and Brett Hudson, 26, of Hillsboro, Ohio, on charges they posted the threats in April and May.
