7Seas

7Seas (a.k.a. Seven-Seas Global Intelligence Group) is a self-described "Global Security and Intelligence Team" formed after the September 11, 2001 attacks. The group was formed by contributing members of the alneda forum at itshappening.com (alneda.com). Brent Astley of Norwood, Ontario, Canada went on to lead the group that has been in operation since January 2003 whose objective is to gather intelligence to disrupt terrorism.
Background
The team consisted of seven amateur computer sleuths from Australia, Canada, Singapore, and the United States. One of the better known members is Shannen Rossmiller — whose testimony in the United States' case against Ryan G. Anderson — resulted in a life sentence for the National Guardsman convicted of attempted espionage. She also made an appearance in a documentary from the BBC entitled The New al Qaeda. Following the unwanted publicity from the Anderson case, Rossmiller expressed concern that the group's effectiveness may have been compromised.
Astley since went on to form Phoenix Global Intelligence Systems.
