Wickileaks Hacker The Jester (th3j35t3r) Says His Computer Seized By Police

Update: Please read the comment thread, something is clearly afoot - Jester Hoax? Stay tuned.

The Jester, the hacker who is believed to have brought down the Wikileaks website hours before it was due to release hundreds of thousands of classified diplomatic cables, says his own computer equipment has been seized.

The Jester who goes by the handle th3j35tr, created a new website and twitter account of the police raid.

So much for being quiet around here. The fire is starting to stir.. as many of you already are aware my door was kicked in and all of my equipment was seized. The weird thing is it was the local sheriffs office not the government. Hmmm..

In the mean time, my email and WordPress accounts are probably jeopardized so I decided to launch on my own server since nothing can be trusted at this time. I still have copies of all utilities, code, and web backups.

Did WikiLeaks Hacker The Jester Pull Police Raid Hoax?"The Jester was angry enough with militants recruiting for jihad and about the WikiLeaks disclosures to launch a DoS attacks on their sites, so why was he not very peeved about an impostor using his name to scam money? The logical conclusion might be that The Jester himself is the hoaxer..."www.infosecisland.com/blogview/9970-Did-WikiLeaks-Hacker-The-Jester-Pull-Police-Raid-Hoax.html
