CEO Says Hackers Tried to Extort Data, Money

The CEO of Unveillance is speaking out about his ordeal being the target of hackers demanding money and / or trade secrets. After reading this, I can't help but wonder what prison life is going to be like for pasty hackers with the names like hamster_nipples and Ninetales.

When he refused, LulzSec went public with his data, Hijazi says, posting his personal contact information, e-mails, and chat logs for download online yesterday as part of a campaign to embarrass the FBI and its InfraGard partner. The group had hacked the Web site of InfraGard Atlanta and grabbed usernames and passwords for about 180 members, including Hijazi. Because Hijazi had used the same password on the InfraGard site that he used on his personal Gmail account and his corporate Google Apps account, the hackers were easily able to spy on his personal and business activities.
