Notorious ‘Anonymous’ hacker nabbed in Mexico, deported to US


It took more than a decade for the US to get Doyon into custody. He was deported from Mexico on June 11, according to the Department of Justice. — Dreamstime/TNS

A group of homeless men and women in California were protesting the city of Santa Cruz’s decades-old prohibition against overnight encampments in August 2010 when police officers attempted to disband the rally by detaining the protesters.

Among those arrested was Christopher Doyon, then a 45-year-old vagabond, according to local press reports. Doyon – who goes by the online moniker “Commander X” – also happened to be a member of the hacking group, Anonymous, and three months after the protest, someone knocked out Santa Cruz County’s website, according to a 2011 federal indictment unsealed Monday.
