Support Our Troops by Recycling Your Phones at FOSE & GovSec 2012
Original Post on FOSE’s Blog:
Register to attend FOSE and GovSec TODAY, get your old cell phones together, and bring them out April 3-5!
Last year at FOSE 2011, we held a successful cell phone recycling drive in partnership with Operation Gratitude to support our overseas troops. We’re proud to announce that we’ll be teaming up again with Operation Gratitude to collect cell phones for recycling at both FOSE and GovSec!
Simply bring your old cell phones and smartphones (collect them from your friends and co-workers!) to FOSE and GovSec, April 2-5 at the Washington Convention Center, and drop them off at the 1105 Media booth on the Expo floor – booth #200. All phones collected will be recycled to benefit Operation Gratitude and help them send care packages to U.S. troops.
Plus, you can help us get the word out by tweeting about it! 1105 Media, Inc. will donate one care package for every 30 retweets of the following between now and Friday, March 30:
Pls RT: #SupportOurTroops by recycling your cell phones at #FOSE & #GovSec! http://bit.ly/FGSPhns 30 RTs=1 care pkg for @OpGratitude!
Operation Gratitude seeks to put a smile on a service member’s face & express our nation’s appreciation by sending care packages and letters personally addressed to U.S. Military deployed in harm’s way, their children left behind and Wounded Warriors recovering in transition units.
LulzSec & Anonymous Hackers Arrested
Just last week we told you about a string of arrests in several South American countries, all of which were tied to hacktivist group, Anonymous. This week it looks like the feds are taking on LulzSec and it’s now know that the founder reportedly worked with the Feds. The informant in question might sound familiar, you probably know him better as “Sabu”, and we’ve mentioned him several times in the past. Gizmodo even calls him the “most notorious and influential hacker alive”
