Jeremy Hammond (born January 8, 1985), alias sup_g,[1] is an American anarchist activist and former computer hacker from Chicago. He founded the computer security training website HackThisSite[2] in 2003.[3] He was first imprisoned over the Protest Warrior hack in 2005 and was later convicted of computer fraud in 2013 for hacking the private intelligence firm Stratfor and releasing data to WikiLeaks,[4] and sentenced to 10 years in prison.[5]

In 2019, he was summoned before a Virginia federal grand jury which was investigating WikiLeaks and its founder Julian Assange. He was held in civil contempt of court after refusing to testify on the principle of grand jury resistance.[6][7]

He was released from prison in November 2020.[8]
