Whos a Rat – US Website of Informants and Agents!
The chap who set up this website (a Marijuana dealer called Sean Bucci), I think has just been convicted and sentenced. I suspect the US Law Efforcement agencies were not to happy having their informants details (revealed legally) spread across the web.
Mind you- on the wikipedia entry about the site this is said “The Department of Homeland Security is said to have issued an advisory about the site, warning law enforcement officers not even to view the site. “Visiting the site could result in the compromise of government IP addresses. Searching the site for a particular name could result in that name being cross-indexed to the IP address of the computer used to make the inquiry. Searching for the names of officers or informants could compromise those individual’s identities. Any website is capable of collecting IP address and search information from visitors, but this site is remarkable because it makes visitor information public.”
So quite controversial. Except a knock at the door by the FBI any day now after you visit it! (Possibly not if you live outside the USA)
