14 DAY TRIAL // The controversial hacker The Jester (th3j35t3r), who is a vocal supporter of the US government, told us a few days ago that US authorities didn’t need his help in locating and apprehending the NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden.
However, it turns out that he has launched an operation against all the countries that consider granting asylum to Snowden.
“These are enemies and that's how I will be treating them, and anyone who facilitates them,” the hacker told FoxNews.
When news broke that Ecuador might grant Snowden asylum, The Jester almost immediately disrupted a website of the country’s Ministry of Tourism, and the one of the country’s stock exchange.
He also claimed to have breached the computer networks of Ecuador’s embassy in London, where WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is currently located.
Shortly after Venezuela announced that it was ready to help Snowden, The Jester immediately noted that there were 52 Venezuelan government servers visible on the Internet.
“What we essentially have is a low-level GIMP who has lied about numerous things and embellished others since identifying himself. What we do know is he fancied himself as a bit of a ladies man and international man of mystery,” the hacker said about Snowden in a blog post.
“A very narcissistic character, although I am sure now he has a new found understanding as to why secrets are essential, considering he is hiding himself like a scared little puppy and doesn’t want anyone to know where he is or where he’s headed,” he added.
The Jester highlights the fact that after only three months of working for Booz Allen Hamilton, Snowden stole sensitive data and “bolted to the open arms of the Chinese with four laptops.”
“This is not a goddam hero, here to save Americans from ‘the government’ because of privacy infringements and breaches of the 4th amendment, he is a traitor and has jeopardized all our lives because of the intelligence we have lost to perceived enemies,” he said.
