The United States government pressed forward Friday afternoon with its case against 13 alleged cybercriminals accused of conspiring to take down government and corporate websites as part of an anti-censorship campaign waged by the Anonymous movement.
US Federal Judge Liam O’Grady arraigned Austen L. Stamm and Dennis Owen Collins Friday afternoon from a courtroom in Alexandria, Virginia near Washington, DC. The two defendants are accused of cooperating with 11 other individuals in 2010 and 2011 of participating in “Operation PayBack,” an initiative led by the Anonymous hacktivist collective that targeted the websites of entities committed to protecting copyrighted material.
Both men pleaded not guilty.
An indictment unsealed earlier this month accused the alleged “Anons” of taking part in a “worldwide conspiracy” targeting groups that conflicted with the hacktivists’ “stated philosophy of making all information free for all.”
