Journalist who allegedly helped hackers makes final pitch to jury

(Reuters) – A lawyer for journalist Matthew Keys, accused of aiding members of the Anonymous hacking collective, told a jury on Tuesday that the U.S. government had not proven the criminal charges it filed

Keys was indicted in 2013 on three criminal counts, including conspiracy to cause damage to a protected computer. The indictment accused Keys of giving hackers access to Tribune Co. computer systems in December 2010. Keys had just left a job at a Tribune-owned television station in Sacramento, Calif., after a dispute with a supervisor.

A story on the Tribune’s Los Angeles Times website was soon altered by one of those hackers, the indictment said. A Tribune spokesman declined to comment. For the full article click here
