Way back in 2010, a so-called “white hat” hacker named Andrew Auernheimer, known online as “Weev,” exploited a security loophole on Apple’s iPad and acquired the names of 114,000 AT&T customers who subscribed to the iPad 3G data service. Following an investigation, Weev, who had “stolen” (his words) the user data was prosecuted and convicted. To his credit, Weev informed AT&T of the security flaw and the company quickly buttoned it up. But back in April of this year, Weev’s conviction was overturned because he was evidently tried in the wrong state (New Jersey). He was subsequently released from Pennsylvania’s Allenwood Federal Correctional Complex on April 11, 2014. The indictment remains, but the conviction no longer stands.

During his time in jail, Weev apparently became a neo-Nazi, complete with a tattoo not unlike Edward Norton’s tattoo in American History X — a giant swastika on his right pectoral. After his release, he posted a series of racist and anti-Semitic remarks on a website called The Daily Stormer, a white-supremacist site not to be confused with The Daily Caller, The Daily Beast or The Daily Banter. Via Gawker, here are some choice passages:

I’ve been a long-time critic of Judaism, black culture, immigration to Western nations, and the media’s constant stream of anti-white propaganda. Judge Wigenton was as black as they come. The prosecutor, Zach Intrater, was a Brooklyn Jew from an old money New York family.[…]

The whole time a yarmulke-covered audience of Jewry stared at me from the pews of the courtroom. My prosecutor invited his whole synagogue to spectate.[…]

They took control of our systems of finance and law. They hyperinflated our currency. They corrupted our daughters and demanded they subject themselves to sex work to feed their families. These are a people that have made themselves a problem in every nation they occupy, including ours. What’s saddest is that we are the enablers of this problem. The Jews abused our compassion to build an empire of wickedness the likes the world has never seen.

No gray area there. Weev clearly hates…. CONTINUE READING

    “Indeed, Greenwald named Weev as a “hacktivist” who was being wrongfully persecuted by U.S. authorities.”

    Oh Gawd, now Greenwald will get all stompy feet on Twitter again.

    I have been a long-time critic of low educated white trash, but you see where this has gotten us, low educated white trash is thriving so he needs to get used to the diversity in America or get the hell out.

      You know what really upsets me most about all this, This guy got published?!?! seriously they will just put any ol’ damn thing in print now. Message aside his word construction is juvenile at best. It comes across as a 16 year old’s journal musings more than any kind of coherent, well crafted story. What we’ve done to the English language is just criminal. The whole diatribe reads as little more than regurgitated schlock from one of Goebbels discarded notebooks. I don’t mind being hated, Glob knows just how hated I am, but I just miss the days when you were being insulted you felt diminished some afterward as opposed to bored with 10th grade level writing. I’d give him a C- at best.
