  Partial quote from article..  
    
  On Thursday, the FBI arrested two suspected hackers who allegedly  
  participated in Anonymous and LulzSec attacks. One of them, Cody  
  Kretsinger, faces 15 years in prison for allegedly helping break  
  into the Sony Pictures website with an SQL injection and  
  publishing user data. As we described on Thursday, the indictment  
  against Kretsinger says he used what's called a proxy server to  
  hide his identity while carrying out the attack. But on Friday it  
  emerged that the site he allegedly used to disguise his identity  
  cooperated with police working to track him down. That's got some  
  in the online privacy community very nervous.  
    
  The federal indictment against Kretsinger charges that he used a  
  proxy server site called Hidemyass.com to disguise his Internet  
  protocol address. By transmitting data through the proxy, a  
  hacker can hide his or her ISP from the target. But since the  
  proxy server gets between the machines on either end of that  
  exchange, it is in a position to know details about the hacker.
