Suspected Member of Anonymous Arrested After Rescue At Sea During Disney Cruise

Posted on February 18, 2016 by Dissent

Tom Winter and Corky Siemaszko  report:

A suspected hacker from Massachusetts landed in hot water Wednesday a day after he was rescued at sea by a Disney cruise ship.

Martin Gottesfeld was arrested by the FBI in Miami and charged with conspiracy for allegedly helping to launch a computer attack on Boston Children’s Hospital as part of the group “Anonymous,” according to an arrest affidavit obtained by NBC News.

The 31-year-old Somerville resident had been the subject of an FBI investigation since October 2014, the papers said.

Read more on NBC.  Coverage of the attacks on the hospital in April 2014 can be found in the Boston Globe.
