Well the issue is that the leaked information was legitamet and was criminal. Yet they are more concerned with the messenger.

That's besides the point. Their claims are technologically not possible and haven't been since they initially made them. Yet if people only know CSI, and Television interpretations of chasing criminals on the internet they tend to buy into it. Yet the televised versions of such things is very fictional and not realistic in terms of what can be found, what steps need to be undertaken to catch them, etc. It makes for good TV. It makes for very bad reality.
