“Andrew Auernheimer, 24, was being held in Washington County Detention Center in Fayetteville, Ark., according to Lt. Anthony Foster of the Washington County Sheriff’s office in that state,” Mills reports.
“Auernheimer, who goes by the name ‘Escher’ and the hacker handle ‘Weev,’ faces four felony charges of possession of a controlled substance and one misdemeanor possession charge, Foster said,” Mills reports. “The drugs included cocaine, ecstasy, LSD, and schedule 2 and 3 pharmaceuticals, he said.”
Mills reports, “Auernheimer is a key member of the Goatse Security group that discovered the security weakness in an AT&T Web site for iPad users last week.”

How dumb can you be?
Arkansas Goatse?
I guessed his hair would be darker.
Definitely still lives with his mom.
Ass goat. Looks like a Gizmodo ass goat
I wonder if he’ll be bunking with Chen?
That’s a nice way to extend his 15 minutes of fame without latching on to Apple again.
Drug charges? That was pretty random…
Great headline “Multi-billion dollar corporation AT&T;security recently hacked by group of redneck drug dealing goat molesters from Arkansas…”
Steve516 – exactly.
He may live with his mom, have a crazy beard, and look like he just finished an ecstasy-fueled session of WoW, but he and his crew were able to hack AT&T;.
The joke is on AT&T;here.
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.
Capone on tax evasion?
“…group of redneck drug dealing goat molesters from Arkansas…”
I thought Bill was helping the people of Haiti?!
DRMSSDB:
Being able to hack ATT is no big deal especially since they gave him an open page, invitation and keys. Getting caught and stashing drugs, when you think you are a bad ass is a joke and a pretty dumb hack.
WOW, What a bunch of haters you are. Are you blind to what is happening here: The FBI is playing the role of jack-booted thug, because the corporation known as AT&T;is embarrassed to have their lack of security exposed in the press.
Was he breaking the law with the drugs, sure. Would the FBI have an interest in a small time user without AT&T;? No chance.
So you all have a good chuckle about the “Redneck” and sit their all smug in your judgement chair. Meanwhile the little guys get screwed again…
Legalise it.
“Truth”
Yes, the poor little guy and his little friends and their little dicks,
posted all these email addresses they hacked to embarrass ATT and Apple. Not a crime? how would you like your email posted by these
grimy, booger eating morons. Bet with his record he will not be touching an iPad or any other computer for 5 years. By then ATT should get it’s security fixed.
GOATSE = Dumb bottom pingers.
“Was he breaking the law with the drugs, sure. Would the FBI have an interest in a small time user without AT&T;? No chance.”
The FBI would have arrested him anyways.
The difference is the MEDIA wouldn’t have reported it, without AT&T;.
“Was he breaking the law with the drugs, sure. Would the FBI have an interest in a small time user without AT&T;? No chance.”
Which is why as a SMART person, if you have ILLEGAL substances as a matter of habit, you do NOT bring international attention to yourself… for ANY reason… at ALL.
Because one thing is guaranteed on the internet. You toss anything out there about anyone else, you’ll have about a million people, if only for curiosity, trying to dig up stuff on you. It’s true!
Unfortunately, this guy didn’t know that.
All the brains in the world, and this idiot has no sense! Now all that good LSD is going to waste!
So much for the Security by Obscurity.
@<strike>Truth</strike> Tool
This is NOT about AT&T abusing their power to bring down a “little guy”. This is NOT about the FBI and what sort of boots they wear. It’s NOT even about the list of distinguished customers who are pissed that their right to privacy was violated.
This IS about Andrew Auernheimer, whom you call the “little guy”, inferring that he’s as defenseless as a new born kitten in the company of wolves, but let’s be clear, he’s no “little guy” anymore. In fact, he just leaped into the red-hot spotlight of the Whackos!
Andrew Auernheimer considers himself the iProphet and regularly makes appearances on BlipTV.
Check out one of Andrews latest videos on BlipTV JESUS WAS NOT A JEW!
“Jesus was not a Jew, and Jesus wanted you to fuck shit up.” ‘The iProphet talks about why Christians should be armed, use mescaline, and why you need temporary tattoos of dogs named Rocket.’
The FBI went JackBoot on this dude because he has a public history of promoting drug use, violence with firearms, and descent.
But in your version of the truth, he’s just lamb being led to slaughter and you pity the “redneck”.
I’m having no chuckle over this, I have a sense of relief that this drug-crazed idiot is off the street!
Truth indeed!
OK I Know this is off subject but it has to do with security…..on Android….It was just a matter of time…..
If anyone here wants to know the real skinny on the state of Android or RIM go to crackberry.com…..
Check this out…
(good luck I just got the storm 2 after using the incredible and there is more to android then most know. For one the security is bad after a few weeks with the incredible I started getting emails and phone calls from android based companys which I never gave my info to they just took it! The incredible is nice runs for the most part Better than BB but no security there.

My gut tells me that Apple is not releasing iPhone on Verizon for this very reason. Jobs (i ponder) wants as many Android phones on the Verizon network to prove his point on mobile security…
Between Android and Verizon and mobile security they are going to have HUGE issues….just you wait and see.
The Security breach on iPad is not an Apple issue.. IT IS IN FACT A CARRIER ISSUE….. And iPhone is one of the most secure phones on the market. NUF SAID.
The carriers are the one who need to get their shit together NOT APPLE.
GOOD GRIEF!
It’s good to see that the jack-booted thugs of Apple have come down on the innocent. Sieg Jobs! Sieg Jobs! Sieg Jobs!
G4Dualie:
The real deal. Good one!
So, he (and possibly they) were stoned out on drugs and STILL able to hack past ATTs infamous security?
