In a YouTube video linked to the company's freshly relaunched site, Friedman accepted responsibility for Stratfor's failure to properly protect customer data while accusing the attackers of imposing a new censorship regime on the Internet.
"We are now in a world in which anonymous judges, jurors and executioners can silence whom they want," Friedman said in the video. "This is a new censorship that doesn't come openly from governments but from people hiding behind masks."
