Evanescence Targeted by Anonymous Over Child Porn Issue

I want to be very careful with this one, so I’ll just quote from The NME:

Evanescence singer Amy Lee has been targeted by online hacking organization Anonymous, who have accused the singer of preventing a witness from reporting child pornography and other online offences.

The online hacking group has launched a new operation named ‘Operation PedoChat’ which aims to uncover nefarious online activity and has named Lee and her manager Andrew Lurie on their list of targets.

The allegations involve the Evanescence fan forum EvThreads and were made in the House of Commons by Liberal Democrat MP John Hemming.
