    FBI agent reportedly says the only way to beat Anonymous 'is to get them all girlfriends'

    FBI AGENT REPORTEDLY SAYS THE ONLY WAY TO BEAT ANONYMOUS ‘IS TO GET THEM ALL GIRLFRIENDS’

    During a presentation for Data Protection Day in Europe, FBI special agent Chuck Esposito apparently made light of the most obvious hacker stereotype — that all hackers are lonely, misanthropic nerds — according to a tweet by Christian Svanberg, a Copenhagen-based privacy lawyer.

    As a clichéd trope (all a hacker really wants is love!) Esposito’s comment is kind of perfect in its assumption that all Anonymous-affiliated hacktivists are men, or that any hacktivist woman must be a lesbian.

    Not everyone was happy about Esposito’s joke:
    These are tweets, I don't know how to embed them.

    Instead of Sabu, why didn't the FBI drop off a cache of ladies in Anonymous to lure them away form hacking?https://twitter.com/legalift/status/560410806056402944

    @BiellaColeman Sure lets start to parachute bikini models into Syria. Really sad to see such a caveman attitude.

    Biella Coleman, the author of Hacker, Hoaxer, Whistleblower Spy: The Many Faces of Anonymous and an expert on the group, replied that many Anonymous members already have girlfriends:

    @Electric_Jano Still what then? It is a ludicrous statement and yes, I know many had g-friends. I have met them.

    Ah, to be young, in love, and a DDOSer.

    Update 3:00pm: Looks like Svanberg deleted his tweet for whatever reason. Lucky for us we had a screenshot of it, which we have now dropped in its place.

    Yeah that was a great movie.

    And it is just as relevant today as it was when it came out.
