   Hats off to DataBreaches.net journalist @PogoWasRight for going public and publishing details about the legal demand they received from U.K. law firm Pinsent Masons, on behalf of the hacked health firm HCRG.

   You can read more about the legal demand on DataBreaches.net.

   Last Friday I received a letter from a U.K. law firm with an attached injunction. The law firm claimed I must remove two posts about their client.

   That is not going to happen. I am not under the jurisdiction of the U.K. or the High Court of Justice. My lawyer informed them of that yesterday.

   But DataBreaches.net might disappear tomorrow because the U.K. law firm sent the injunction to my domain registrar who, innocently believing them, informed me they will suspend my site if I don't remove the posts within 24 hours. I have replied to them but have not heard back.

   So...

   If my site is gone tomorrow, I will let you know where you can read a lot more about the injunction and how the injunction poses a serious risk of censorship in the U.K.

   If my site is still online tomorrow, I will still let you know here where you can read about the over-reaching injunction obtained in a private hearing where no one represented journalists whose reporting was being censored.

   Idaho man who hacked medical entities and made vile threats sentenced to 10 years in prison:

   This is a case that started because the threat actor, "Lifelock," contacted DataBreaches to try to get DataBreaches.net to report on victims who hadn't paid his ransom demands.

   Some of his court filings tried to blame me for the FBI raiding him and seizing his devices. The FBI did their own investigation but yes, it was my reporting that initially made the FBI aware of Robert Purbeck.
