At the Baldwin, N.Y., home of Giordani Jordan, more than 10 agents seized computers and accessories.

The searches are part of a federal investigation into Anonymous, which has claimed responsibility for attacking corporate Web sites including Visa and MasterCard in retaliation for blocking payments to WikiLeaks.

More recently, the group hacked Arizona police sites and posted the personal information of officers to protest the state's immigration law.
