Abstract

The hacking group CabinCr3w emerged in conjunction with the Occupy Wall Street movement in late 2011. Initially they were solely involved in releasing personal information or “dox” on Wall Street investment bankers and other individuals who were involved in facilitating the “Great Recession.” However in November of 2011, under an operation they dubbed Operation Pig Roast, CabinCr3w increasingly turned their attention to hacking law enforcement organizations and government institutions across the country. In March of 2012, two of the most active members of the group were arrested and charged with several high-profile hacks. An analysis of secondary data in the form of news articles and unsealed Criminal Citations reveals that both hackers made fundamental and basic mistakes in preserving their anonymity, which law enforcement officials used to connect their online identities to their physical locations.
