'Anonymous' hackers threaten real-world attacks: HBGary

'Anonymous' hackers threaten real-world attacks: HBGary: "A computer security firm working to expose members of hacker group "Anonymous" pulled out of a premier industry conference here due to threats of real-world attacks on its employees.

HBGary personnel have been peppered with threatening messages since Anonymous hackers looted data from its computer systems earlier this month, according to a message on the California firm's website Wednesday.

'In addition to the data theft, HBGary individuals have received numerous threats of violence, including threats at our tradeshow booth,' the company said."
