18. I'm not sure I see why not name.
The hackers already know who they are. You're not libeling anyone; you're just reporting what your computer told you, without warranting that your computer is correct.

If anything bad actually happened, it would have been best from an evidentiary point of view and otherwise if you had immediately told your friends who your computer indicated the hackers were.

By the way, I hope my paranoia is completely unwarranted . . . but I suspect there are some Dems. in this forum (and elseshere) pulling together evidence and analysis who should be backing the info up, making copies, AND securing it with trustworthy third parties on a regular basis. Not only as a failsafe; but as a deterrent--if the Reps. know that's what we're doing, there's less temptation for them to try to eliminate stuff that's backed up elsewhere anyway.
