Jay Leiderman is a criminal law specialist and defense attorney who has represented members of Anonymous and Lulzsec. The Atlantic Magazine called Jay Leiderman the “Hacktivist’s Advocate” for his work defending hacker-activists accused of computer crimes, especially people associated with Anonymous.
He is also a founding member of the Whistleblower’s Defense League, "formed to combat what they describe as the FBI and Justice Department’s use of harassment and over-prosecution to chill and silence those who engage in journalism, Internet activism or dissent".
