Screenshot == Reported to FBI?
I have to say that I was completely shocked when I read this (via SpywareGuide)yesterday... the first thing I did was send it to everyone I was talking to on IM. Write to help protect people from phishing sites and have a complaint filed with the FBI? There's something seriously wrong with this picture.
PayPal seems to be stepping all over themselves lately, they completely stall HFC (thankfully resolved now) and now this. I just can't imagine what goes through someone's head that they send a letter to the ISP and file a complaint with the FBI... did they even have any idea what they were looking at? Did they understand that the site was helping people not hurting them?
I could continue to rant on this, but mainly I just wanted to make sure as many people as possible saw and read it. Though it should be noticed this isn't the first takedown request with the threat of legal follow-up based on a screenshot, FailBlog was hit with this not too long ago. Although Guiness Book of World Records didn't go to the FBI.
Your post is obviously trying to help criminals hide better. Reported. The FBI requests you duck and cover immediately. Oh, by the way, I'm not speaking on behalf of the FBI, but I suggest you duck and cover anyway as they may request it. Also, President Obama/<your prime minister> is disappointed in you. Well, at least he might be, but we're not speaking on behalf of him. Legally. As an agent as it were…
