Barrett Lancaster Brown is an American journalist, activist and former associate of Anonymous. In the 2011/12 period he was sometimes referred to as the "spokesperson for Anonymous".[1] In January 2015, Brown was sentenced to 63 months in federal prison for the crimes of accessory after the fact, obstruction of justice, and threatening a federal officer stemming from the FBI's investigation into the 2012 Stratfor email leak. Prosecutors had previously brought other charges associated with sharing a link to the leaked Stratfor data, but those charges were dropped in 2014. As part of his sentence, Brown was also required to pay almost $900,000 to Stratfor in restitution.[2]

Activities

In 2010, he founded Project PM,[3][4][5] a group that used a wiki to analyze leaks concerning the military-industrial complex.[6] He was involved with and reported on the HBGary e-mail leak.[7][8][9]

In late 2020, Brown restarted Project PM.[10]
