eedward & Bongstein were shocked last week when they discovered that Twitter accounts of politicians were being hacked. As the country\u2019s foremost investigative journalists, protecting their confidential emails is their top priority. So they decided to confront the so-called hacking group Legion, before things got out of hand.\n\nThey caught up with one member listening to Electronic Dance Music and rolling a spliff at 10 am<\/span><\/span> while his mother was preparing him some lunch. He seemed to have no clue what he was doing.\n

W&B:<\/strong> Hey Legion. How are you?\nLegion:<\/strong> I am not Legion. WE are Legion.<\/p>\n

W&B:<\/strong> Oh. Is someone else here?\nLegion:<\/strong> No. Legion is me and my friend Sarvesh. He lives in the next building. I\u2019d call him over, but he has tuition at 11:30<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n

W&B:<\/strong> Right. So Legion, you\u2019ve hacked into the emails and insulted the politicians. What\u2019s next on the agenda?\nLegion:<\/strong> Agendas are for squares. Are you guys squares? We\u2019re not. We\u2019re really cool\u2026 #420 #blazeitup #fucknowimsleepy<\/p>\n

W&B:<\/strong> You don\u2019t need to say the \u201chashtag\u201d in conversation\u2026 Anyway, what are you going to do with the information you\u2019ve gathered?\nLegion:<\/strong> What information, brah\u2026 tbh I haven\u2019t even checked out all those TBs of info, ya know. Been smoking them OG blunts, can\u2019t remember where I put my shit. You guys know how it goes.<\/p>\n

W&B:<\/strong> No, we are responsible investigative journalists. So we hear a big NDTV dump is coming up soon. Tell us about that.<\/p>\n

Legion:<\/strong> Hahah you said dump.<\/p>\n

W&B:<\/strong> That\u2019s not very mature\u2026<\/p>\n

Legion:<\/strong> Yes we\u2019re about to drop a load on NDTV. Like we told the Washington Post, the data decides our next targets.<\/p>\n

W&B:<\/strong> Scary stuff.<\/p>\n

Legion:<\/strong> Yeah man, the mainstream media, like needs to chill out with its left-wing agenda man. You know there\u2019s a right-wing as well. Plus there are other wings too, man. Open your eyes, man.<\/p>\n

W&B:<\/strong> You mean like alt-right and alt-left? Those wings?\nLegion:<\/strong> Naah bruh, like those wings you get off a chicken man. This one time I was blazing some blueberry kush and I ate like 24 wings. Can you even imagine the dump that came after that?<\/p>\n

W&B:<\/strong> Stop it with the toilet humour already. We\u2019re being serious.<\/p>\n

Legion:<\/strong> By dump here I mean the Vijay Mallya information dump. That dump really took a lot out of us.<\/p>\n

W&B:<\/strong> Let\u2019s move on, we\u2019ve heard you\u2019re affiliated to other hacktivists around the world. Is that true?\nLegion:<\/strong> It might be. We don\u2019t claim affiliation to any particular network. We\u2019re bros with everyone.<\/p>\n

W&B:<\/strong> Who are you \u201cbros\u201d with?\nLegion:<\/strong> Those guys with black hats who live underground. And those white-masked dudes. Plus the other bros whose name has numbers in it.<\/p>\n

W&B:<\/strong> We don\u2019t follow.<\/p>\n

Legion:<\/strong> We\u2019re talking about ac1dbi1ches. Our homies from the other side of the interwebz. They\u2019re chill too.<\/p>\n

W&B:<\/strong> We officially have no idea what you are talking about. How old are you exactly?\nLegion:<\/strong> Age is just another binary number that the world enforces on us in order to subjugate us and make us more servile… I forgot what I was going to say next. This is some good shit man.<\/p>\n

W&B:<\/strong> Your age. How old are you?\nLegion:<\/strong> I\u2019m 19, but a quiz I took when I hacked a Buzzfeed server said my real age was about 29.<\/p>\n

W&B:<\/strong> Excellent stuff. And you\u2019re sure you know what you\u2019re doing?\nLegion:<\/strong> Have some faith man. Wait until you see all the emails we gonna be letting loose on those fools.<\/p>\n

W&B:<\/strong> Aren\u2019t you worried about a backlash?\nLegion:<\/strong> \u201cN-word\u201d I\u2019m gonna go to Russia and party it up. I heard they got more drugs than people there. And those raves, oh damn, it\u2019s gonna get lit.<\/p>\n

W&B:<\/strong> Maybe we should visit some day. It\u2019s been great talking to you, we wish you well with your future dumps.<\/p>\n

Legion:<\/strong> Thanks. #smoking #rolling #herb #420 #DamnImStoned #ImmaSmokeSomeShit #ThenImmaHackSomeShit<\/p>\n

W&B:<\/strong> Yeah, we get it… you\u2019re cool\u2026 bye.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
