When Bay Area Rapid Transit decided to cut cell phone service in attempt to disrupt and dispel protests over the agency's shooting of Oscar Grant in 2009 and, more recently, Charles Hill, the peaceful protesters weren't the only ones pissed off. Hacker collective Anonymous also took offense to BART's actions and decided to hack into the agency's "myBARTway" website and released over 2,000 e-mails, usernames, and passwords—crazy, right? Yes, but it's on par with Anonymous's past exploits and hacks which have targeted governments, security firms, rap websites, and consumer electronics companies all in the name of freedom. If you look at the group's track record, a lot of its hacks have been inconsequential, while a small number of them have been big. These are the 10 Craziest Anonymous Hacks.

Number 5 was not about "YouTube suspending the account of an Anonymous member who uploaded music videos to his channel." It was about an 8 year old's YouTube account being disabled... I love articles that don't do research.... http://www.npr.org/blogs/alltechconsidered/2010/01/youtube_porn_4chan_lukeywes1234.html

From #7 paragraph 2: "The site was then taken down and the FBI was contact to..." should be "The site was then taken down and the FBI was contacted to investigate..." change: contact -> contacted
