Antisec Hackers: Rise and Downfall Explained by Quinn Norton

Hacker chronicler Quinn Norton spent months in 2011 and 2012 talking to members of the hacktivist collective Antisec, the division of Anonymous responsible for the leaked corporate emails that earned Jeremy Hammond a 10-year prison sentence. Norton says she didn't take notes and was careful not to broach anyone's identity, but she details a retrospective of the group from memory in a piece titled "How Antisec died." The boldest claim? The nine-month FBI sting only nabbed two hackers from the group, Hammond and Hector Monsegur, also known as Sabu.
