    Secret Service gloats online

    This made me laugh: http://www.shadowcrew.com/

    Instead of just shutting down this website, which allegedly was used for "trafficking in stolen credit card numbers and unlawful transfer of identification documents," the US Secret Service took a different route: replacing the images and text with a message of their own -- along with the "Hawaii 5-0" theme song.

    It's good to know they have a sense of humor.

    PS: Did you mean the Mission Impossible theme song?

    OOPS! Yes. Well, they made the wrong choice... it should have been Hawaii 5-0, it's a much cooler song!

    Yeah, obviously for some reason they wanted some of the forum info to still be available -- probably hoping some people will still come back and post. If you browse around in there, you'll find that threads and entire forums that apparently once had hard account info no longer work.

    Appalling

    That is just utterly appalling - maybe this has been going on for a long time and I've never gone looking for it, but that thread is just utterly awful. I don't really understand why the US secret service (presuming their message is for real) left this online.

    That's pretty classy, though if I were the Secret Service, I just would've put "Pwn3d by t3h f3dz" up...

    Wow! If that's for real, the secret service really should get a better web designer.

    I don't believe for a moment that this is, in any way, the work of the United States Secret Service.
