@bascule@mas.toAviram Azari, a hacker hired by Exxon to break into the accounts of climate activists to dig up dirt, has been sentenced to 80 months in prison.
"One of AZARI’s hacking Projects was focused on targeting individuals and organizations involved with climate change advocacy. Some of the hacked documents that were stolen from various of the victims’ online accounts were leaked to the press"
This incident reminds me of the 2009 "Climategate" incident, when Russian hackers broke into the accounts of climate scientists, stealing emails, manipulating them, and releasing them (via Wikileaks) to drum up fear, uncertainty, and doubt about the veracity of climate research right before the Copenhagen Summit
