...or even more this year. But there are also dozens if not hundreds of downright criminals in that group, too.

Do you subscribe to McAfee or Norton or any other internet security software? Do you know why? Because there are malicious criminals out there that don't give a damn about politics or "freedom", and they want to do is wreak havoc on large groups of people.

As for some claiming that the attendees are mostly from countries other than the US? Very true, and history has shown that the majority, if not a HUGE majority, of those breaking into financial institutions' systems are from countries other than the US.

I have zero respect for anyone who anonymously and purposely steals people's financial information for selfish gain.
