USA v. Fourteen Alleged PayPal Hackers

Today court filings, dated 13 July 2011, against 14 alleged hackers of PayPal have been fully disclosed on the California Northern District Court website. Dennis Collins, aka "Iowa," a name previously omitted in press releases and redacted from the indictment, has been disclosed.

Before today court filings were available only for the seven suspects arrested outside of California on the court websites where their arrests occurred, example given for Cooper:

Donald Husband, aka “Ananon;”
Vincent Charles Kershaw, aka “Trivette,” “Triv” and “Reaper;”
