Chris Eng (guest on Securabit Episode 7) has posted some commentary on what he thinks might have happened to the account.  What are your thoughts on this matter?  Is this all fair game and the whole mailbox should be released or just despicable?

UPDATE: Apparently ‘Anonymous’ might not be too anonymous for long.  The screenshot posted listed almost the whole proxy address, which will make it much easier to find in a log.  Unless they used their neighbors wi-fi. :)
