Chamber of Commerce Comes After Us With Cyber Dirty Tricks Campaign
The Chamber of Commerce through its law firm Hunton and Williams has been working with private security contractors to come after StopTheChamber.com, a project I serve as spokesperson to, with a cyber-dirty tricks campaign.
In the last week a major story has broken as Anonymous hacked into the computer system of a private security firm, HBGary, which has also been used to target WikiLeaks, and published more than 70,000 of the firms emails. The emails showed that HBGary and two other security firms were working with the law firm Hunton & Williams which represents the Chamber of Commerce to attack StopTheChamber.com, Bank of America, coal, nuclear, oil and other major corporate interests. We are fighting back. I’ve written the FBI and we are talking with legal counsel about possible civil litigation and next week we will be filing bar complaints against Hutton & Williams lawyers.
The fact that the Chamber of Commerce—the largest corporate lobby firm in Washington, DC—targeted our project is a sign of the impact we are having on challenging their questionable electoral and lobbying practices which on their face violate federal election law. We are continuing to pursue these prima facie violations to prevent them from occurring in future elections. To listen to a recent radio show on this scandal click here.
