ALEXANDRIA, Virginia: Four members of the hacking group Anonymous pleaded guilty to a misdemeanour charge on Tuesday after a judge had earlier questioned whether prosecutors had treated the defendants too harshly for their crimes.
The hackers, part of a group that gained notoriety for frequent cyber-battles with US authorities, each pleaded guilty via telephone to one misdemeanour charge of conspiring to intentionally cause damage to a protected computer.
