FBI Says They're Now Working 24/7 To Investigate Hackers and Network Attacks 74
An anonymous reader writes "The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is finally stepping up its game when it comes to hackers. Maybe it was Anonymous that did it or maybe it was statements from the US Secretary of Defense two weeks ago, but either way, the FBI is now hunting hackers 24/7." I'm happy that the FBI no longer has an investigation schedule when it comes to online crime, but I have to think that I'm not the only one who assumed they were doing this before.

Better yet, seal team six.
My understanding is this is the real reason that we sent a Seal team to Pakistan. Here is part of the transcript I intercepted.
Team Six: It appears intelligence was not accurate.
H Clinton: Oh no. You can't mean....
Team Six: No, it isn't Rachel, it is just Osama.
H Clinton: Damn
Team Six: Aborting mission....
Obama: Maybe we can get some good press out of this anyhow
H Clinton: Maybe.
Team Six: You want us to off him?
Obama: Yeah, what the heck. It won't be the same, but I am sure it will get me some points in the approval ratings. God knows I'm not doing well right now.
Team Six: You got it.
and that my friends is the rest of the story.
