Security compromise

In December 2001, Lamo was praised by Worldcom for helping to strengthen the company's security. [23] In February 2002, he broke into the New York Times' internal computer network, added his name to an internal database of expert sources, and used the paper's LexisNexis account to study high-profile topics. The New York Times filed a lawsuit and in August 2003 issued an arrest warrant for the arrest of Lamo after a 15-month investigation by the federal prosecutor in New York. 10:15 am On September 9, after spending a few days hiding, he surrendered to the US Marshals in Sacramento, California.

When asked to respond to his allegations that the crime was beautified for propaganda, his answer was: "Everything I can say about my people or my actions will only make them have to say something for themselves." . When accepting comments during his criminal proceedings, Lamo expressed frustration with non-respondents such as “belief management” [30] and “this is a wonderful day”. [31]

In his ruling, Ramo expressed regret for his injury caused by the invasion. The court records quoted him as adding: "I want to answer what I did and do better for my life." [32]

He then announced and answered the Quora website on the issue: "We all have our own actions, not just their happy aspects." Ramo accepted that he made a mistake. [33]

On June 15, 2007, Ramo’s lawyer filed a motion calling “Genesis” the basis of Ramo’s religious opposition to blood donation.

On June 20, 2007, Lamo's legal counsel reached a settlement agreement with the US Department of Justice, and Lamo will submit a face swab instead of a blood sample. [35]

WikiLeaks and Manning

In February 2009, a list of anonymous donors on the WikiLeaks non-profit website was leaked and posted on the WikiLeaks website. Some media sources said at the time that Ramo was one of the donors on the list. [36] [37] Lamo commented on his Twitter page: “Thanks to WikiLeaks because it leaked your list of donors... this is dedication.” [37]

In May 2010, [38] Lamo reported to the US Army that Chelsea Manning claimed to have disclosed a large number of confidential documents, including 260,000 US diplomatic cables. [39] Ramo said that Manning also triggered a video clip of the airstrike in Baghdad on July 12, 2007 due to a “leakage”, which was later called the “with murder” video. [39] [40] [41]

Ramo said that if life is not in danger, he will not become Manning... He [sic] is in the war zone, and basically tries to vacuum the classified information as much as possible and then put it Throw it into the air. [38] WikiLeaks' response was to condemn Lamo and Wired Journal reporter Kevin Polson as "notorious felony, informant and manipulator" and said: "Reporters should be careful." " [39]

According to Ford's Andy Greenberg, [42] Lamo is a volunteer "opponent feature" analyst at Florida's semi-secret government contractor Project Vigilant, encouraging him to inform the government about the so-called WikiLeaks source. The head of the "Warning Program", Chet Uber, claimed, "I am the one who called the US government... All said that Adrian is a narcotics person, he did patriotic things. He looked When it comes to all kinds of hackers, he is very worried that people will die." [42]

Ramo was criticized by other hackers, such as the 2010 hacker Planet Earth Conference, who called him a "little thief." [43] Another commentator said to Lamo after speaking in a panel discussion: "From my point of view, I see the treason you have done." [44]

In April 2011, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange called Ramo "a very disgraceful character" and said that it was wrong for him to be a financial contributor to WikiLeaks, because Ramo’s currency support was only once. 20 dollars. Assange said that it is a "prank" to propose that anyone has anything to do with WikiLeaks. [45]

Ramo believes that his decision to cooperate with the government is ambiguous, but objectively necessary. He wrote on the Guardian: "There was no correct choice on that day, and there were fewer wrong choices. It was very cold and very needed. And no one can make the demining "add to the Guardian" trumpet version of Pilkington: "There are thousands of documents - let us change the number 250,000 conservative - and doing nothing means that gambling is everyone will be There is no warning that no harm is given. " [46] [47]

After the Taliban rebellion announced that it intends to implement a leak named the United States-led coalition forces in Afghanistan that have already cooperated with Afghan nationals. By that time, the United States had received a few months of advance warning, and their name was one of the loopholes.

[54] Greenwald put this event in the context of what he called the "Obama government's unprecedented war against whistleblowers." [54] Greenwald's criticism of the "connection" caused the magazine's response, which shows that Greenwald is writing unceremoniously: "Greenwald condemns our motives in the most reasonable way, Slamming the character of our staff, carefully selecting his facts and sources, distorting the truth, and causing anger in his readership. "In an article about Manning, Greenwald mentioned the reporter Kevin Polson's 1994 felony cyber hacking sin, suggesting that "for years, Polson has more or less served as Ramo's personal media voice." [54] Greenwald vs. Polson earlier about Ramo Skeptical about the institutionalized story in the field of psychiatry, wrote: "Lamo claims that he was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, which is a fashionable diagnosis of autism, and many stars in the computer world have also Claiming this diagnosis." [54] Greenwald said in an article entitled "Deteriorating News Shame in Connections" that for many years, they "actively concealed key evidence from a political story to the public." , this evidence cited Headlines from around the world. "[56]

On July 13, 2011, Wired fully published the logs and said: "The most important unpublished details are now publicly available and have sufficient permissions. We no longer believe that the detained logs can be used for any purpose." [57 Greenwald wrote a new release of the log, and he thought they confirmed his claim that the connection concealed important evidence. [58]
