E.g., Jeremy Hammond is accused of hacking and sharing emails of "security" subcontractor Stratfor, which revealed apparent civil liberties violations by the New York Police Department and spy regimes set up to monitor Occupy Wall Street and other activist groups such as the "culture-jamming filmmakers," The Yes Men.
