Anonymous (hacking group)

by **tvguy347** 8/11/2011, 2:37 am

So, these guys have been the heads of several hacking attacks. One of their people was the person who hacked the Playstation Network. They've also done other things, and have now released their next target:

Facebook.

On November 5 (peculiar date, was the date in 1605 when Guy Fawke tried to blow up the House of Lords and kill King James I) they plan to take down the social network.

Thoughts?

They can take Facebook, but i'm still bitter about PSN. It was JUST when Mortal Kombat came out, and it fucked everything up

by **tvguy347** 8/11/2011, 2:46 am

I don't want them to take Facebook. D: Seriously, the feds need to fucking get them.

Facebook is fail. I use it some times, but only to talk to friends. Other than that, it's stupid.

But Facebook is one of the only places people actually find me charming... and handsome. D:

I thought the ''handsome'' thing would make it funny, because y'know, it's more of an adjective for men.

Anonymous has a set of ideals. Contrary to popular belief, not everyone who claims to be a part of Anonymous is. They're the defenders of free speech and will only attack if they or their ideals are provoked. The PSN hackers were NOT Anonymous, they were just theives. Don't know much about this Facebook thing though.

by **JCM** 8/12/2011, 2:08 am

lol do people still take anonymous seriously

I thought the Hotz guy was a part of Anonymous, which was why they threatened to do something to Sony when they tried to arrest him.

Anonymous did attack various Sony websites as a form of protest for the GeoHotz incident, but they were not behind the PSN outage. The fact that the PSN was hacked less than a month after Operation Sony and what seemed to be Anon's calling card was left behind at the scene of the crime (a file reading, "We Are Legion") would make the group an obvious suspect, but there was no real reason for them to have participted. The true culprits were petty thieves and nothing more.

I never knew there was such a huge and complex backstory behind all this. I thought they were just a bunch of dicks with no lives whatsoever. Now they seem to be a bunch of extremists.

yeah i don't even use my face book... i disabled my account so I really don't mind.

A secret group responsible for hackings and takedowns of large networks? Shocked

How does one become a member of such a group? I... must... know!!!

by **that70sguy92** 8/14/2011, 12:54 am

YES! DESTROY FACEBOOK! DESTROY IT FOR GOOD!

by **Elastic Dog** 8/15/2011, 6:45 pm

DEAR FUCKING GOD.

Anonymous isn't a hacking group or organization. Anonymous is what happens when people get together on the internet to take something down that's usually bad (the Church of Scientology, for example.) And as DLL17 said, they're also defenders of freedom and free speech and such.

Either way, i'm all for the downfall of Facebook. I really just use it to stay in touch. Hell, I might join in on the fun.

by **teenj12** 8/15/2011, 7:20 pm

What if they hacked SBC. That wouldn't feel too good. We shouldn't want this to happen.

by **OMJ** 8/15/2011, 7:26 pm

Just heard on the news that these guys hacked into San Francisco's transportation system or some shit and released some juicy info. I think they may be a few steps above hacking a Spongebob fan site.

by **JCM** 8/15/2011, 8:03 pm

Facebook will deteriorate naturally in a few years, anyway. Nothing stays big for long.

Well, according to the internet, we're the largest SB forum on the web. Wink

If you Google "spongebob forum" there isn't a single other website more active than us.

But no, I didn't find it funny.

Who cares if we're the largest? You don't understand the sheer stupidity of this big hacking group hacking us, a website they probably never heard of?

And whatever, buzzkill.

These guys go after bigger things like the San Fran Transportation System, PSN, and Facebook. They wouldn't sully their hands going after a Spongebob Fan Forum.

You took that the wrong way. I didn't mean that we were petty in terms of SB site. Sure, we're the largest SB site, but we're still a small-name site. Anonymous would NEVER come after us. They have much more to deal with then some website based on a childrens show.

You don't have to censor yourself here, in case you don't know. (cept in the SB forums)

But yeah, Anon would never go after an obscure virtually unknown Spongebob site.

Geez these people sound legitimately scary and serious about what they do. But what I want to know is, why? Why would they want to hack into all this stuff? Is that how they get their SICK KICKS?

Because apparently Facebook gives away information. That's why. Silly Face!

And according to a news article, "Operation Facebook" isn't happening. They just announced it was just to spread the word and rally up people. o.o

by **Servin' Up Smiles** 8/17/2011, 12:49 pm

Oh good. Well why the heck would they give an ingenious hacking group info? Seems pretty shady...

by **JCM** 8/17/2011, 12:58 pm

Anonymous didn't announce anything. It was a rumor made up out of nowhere. Also, Facebook gives away information to advertisers. Our information. Just so they can make more money.

The CEO announced they don't, but some of the apps and games on FB do. So... yeah. =/ I don't understand, how can you sell information and why would any other companies want with it? o.o What would they do with it?

by **Servin' Up Smiles** 8/17/2011, 1:05 pm

Probably all for money, and like I said before, SICK KICKS.

I know what it is. It's not a hacking group per se, but it's when people band together to take some shit down, for good reasons.

Right?
