It was Anonymous, or rather someone claiming to be part of Anonymous or affiliated with them or something:
Police weren’t the only ones hunting bombing suspect Dzokhar Tsarnaev Friday afternoon. A hacker claiming to be affiliated with the group Anonymous targeted Tsarmaev while he was still on the run and released a file Friday afternoon that purportedly contained Tsarnaev’s personal information gleaned from the website of his school, UMass Dartmouth.
The hacker, who did not identify him- or herself with a name or digital nom de guerre, posted a file entitled “Terrorist user details, hacked by anonymous!” on the anonymous text-sharing site Pastebin. Included in the file were email addresses and a cellphone number identified as belonging to Tsarnaev. The cellphone number was the same one TPM saw on other sites linked to Tsarnaev.
In addition to his contact information, the file included links to screengrabs that seemed to show his personal pages on the UMass Dartmouth site where the information was supposedly taken from. These pictures displayed a class history for Tsarnaev that matches much of the description of his academic activity that was reported by the New York Times. It showed he had registered for a courseload that included introductory psychology, chemistry, and politics classes.
The hacker added an all-caps message to Tsarnaev, who had not yet been apprehended by authorities when the files were placed online.
“EVERYTHING WILL BE HACKED and I WILL SEND EVERYTHING TO THE POLICE TOO FUCK YOU IF YOU READING THIS SHIT U TERRORIST SCUMBAG,” they wrote.

(11,464 posts)Maybe they can release all data on all guns/bullets in the USA.
The fans of whoever it is behind the mask are normally ones who don't like our President, who I do like.
Perhaps, this is an instance of coming together.
Let's leak ALL DATA from the NRA and who finances them
And all data from every single gun/bullet purchase this day forward and go back too.
I would think in an 80-20 ratio, that would be approved if there was a scientific poll.
After all, every other aspect of our lives is already known and has been for decades.
More and more people now know all the other.
Except guns and bullets. Why are they special?

(5,417 posts)When you buy a gun, the dealer has you fill out a form, they call in to NICS, who claims they don't save any information (not that I believe them.
The actual form is kept with the gun dealer, so unless you wanted to break into every gun store in America, the info generally isn't available.
graham4anything
(11,464 posts)But there should be 100% of the time.
All info should be transparent.
I thought the same people that like guns like their government to be transparent.
Shouldn't one want for themselves what they want others to do?
We are the government, after all.
They know I buy Charmin. Therefore I want to know that they know every single person who buys a gun and a bullet. Charmin and bullets and guns.
They are just widgets sold in commerce. Be transparent.
It's either make all hacking/leaking a federal crime, or make 100% of everything transparent.
There are only 2 choices.
One cannot separate one from the other.
A or B.
oh what a tangled web we weave, when one practices angles. But of course, 100% of everyone has an angle they play.
All are created equal.-Thomas Jefferson. OOOPS. He never said or wrote that, my bad.
You see, you cannot separate one as good, one as bad. Because of the 1/2 thinks one way, half thinks the other way. Therefore it has to be universal. (and not in this case Disney).
BTW-and the leaking of the transcript was wrong IMHO, because it is what Zimmerman used as his defense in the asssassination of Mr. Martin in Sanford Florida, home of two events 70 years apart. Where in the same town, Mr. Jackie Robinson was forced to flee, twice a lynch mob.
Mr. Martin wasn't so lucky. He couldn't flee a gun and a bullet.
You see how a school transcript and a gun and a bullet are connected, don't you?
One for all and all for one.

(114,904 posts)the free form, free style you use, makes your posts nigh on incomprehensible.
Now on to this post and what I can tease out of it.
You seem to feel that there should be no privacy. And no, we are NOT the government. not by any stretch of the imagination or delusion you suffer from.
And who do you think knows you buy Charmin?
The claim that everything has to 100% transparent or that hacking should be a federal crime is dog shit.
What I find most disturbing about your posts is that I've come to the conclusion that you're the son that would rat out his parents for a pat on the head from the gov't.
Here's a line from EM Forster:
“If I had to choose between betraying my country and betraying my friend I hope I should have the guts to betray my country”.

(11,464 posts)have been allowed to continue unabated
Or should his mother and brother have ratted him out?
He would probably in 2013 be caught.
Back then he would have continued til technology(ironic that he claimed to hate technology) would have caught up with him
The people who got bombs in the mail didn't think it funny.
That is a damn silly quote. And I am going to have to Find another forster quote to rebut it, much as I did with Benjamin Franklin.
Be careful in quotes. Because normally, a quoter makes many quotes.
Someone yesterday said I was heartless in not caring about this hateperps beautiful wife and daughter. Yet, in the same article they themselves posted, it said, this hateperp abused his beautiful wife and there was a police record of that abuse.
One cannot separate one line, one quote, one paragraph from an entire body of work.
It is not a Broadway production, where the reviewer devastated the show, but the show publicity staff, took out an ad that proclaimed "This show is Amazing"! and atrributed the quote to the reviewer.
When the full quote was "This show is amazing in that it is the worst show of all time".
It's either or.
Who knows?
It's a matter of record.
Anyone who wants to could.
The org. referenced in the title post could know.
Once a genie is let out of the bottle, it can't be replaced.
We have an internet system now, a nationwide bar code system so to say.
Everything is put on the internet.
Some are beneficial. Some might not (like how to make the damn things that explode).
It's all there.
It appears trying to hide certain things only make the hackers/leakers try harder to reveal it.
It's a conundrum.
One for all and all for one.
EXCEPT GUNS AND BULLETS. There are no public records for guns and bullets on the internet
Begging the question of WHY???
What singles out guns and bullets from every other thing constituttionally allowed and not allowed in this country?
And what makes one think that the organization referenced above (being that they are unnamed, so noone actually knows who they are), is good, or bad?
Karl Rove could be leading them for all we know.
Or a good person.
Which is it?
There is no middle ground. It is either or its or. Which angle?
It has to be one.(double entendre, on purpose).
because sorry, I don't buy simplistic soundbytes from the media and I am not going to take it anymore.
I want a Mr. Spockian type logical discussion on the conundrum that is here.
It is the thing that splits everything else. The good the bad the love the hate.
Which is better, the goose or the gander?
