Anonymous Strikes Back, Hacks "Internet Security" Firm
- Thread starter Greg Tito

Oh bringing in the country again? He can't protect the united states, because the united states chose to hack his company.
I'd be concerned if they actually hacked into the FBI or something and REALLY compromised the security of the nation, but this is just a greedy private company. PROTIP: Having "federal" in their name makes them as much federal, as having "democratic" in "DPRK" makes north Korea a democracy.
Also, Anonymous is not a single entity, nor is it even a group. It's an idea and a common banner random people gather around to fight for a cause. So far i like what they're targeting.

why work harder than you have to? getting the passes was just easier.Krion_Vark said:
I'd rather take a car from one side of the state to the other than walk it.
Just another example that the best 'hackers' do not just use code, but social engineering.
Remember Kevin Mitnick?

I understand just fine. I really do not like Anonymous, or what they stand for. They are self-righteous cowards who hide behind the veil of internet anonymity. They are criminals, hacking the people who are trying to make them accountable for their actions.llagrok said:
Haha, nice one anonymous. But this seems to be a fight you can't win. Eventually FBI is going to catch them, or then they need to hide pretty nicely and stop doing these hacks. Sad but true 
I don't like anonymous purely because they expect the right to piracy, and yet still expect the game/movie/music industries to keep going.
Anonymous at this point are pathetic
Seriously, it's just a sad group of 13 year olds with a few 34 year old basement dwellers with IT skills.
So now they've gone and done something directly against security and such. I can't wait to see them legally ***** slapped.
How have they even lasted this long, anyway?
Only because they spread like an infection, making yet more 13 year olds think it's cool to be a racist cyber-pirate.
Losers, I say! Although there must be a lot of bewildered jackasses to not have learned how to protect websites more effectively.
Even national security apparently can fold before anonymous
So why the hell hasn't someone owned them at this point?
Admittedly there has been some good stuff, like the guy with the starving dogs who got paypal donations, but that wasn't exactly anonymous. It was just a couple of nice guys on imageboards.

Bull! Everyone know's Anonymous are extinct, Gene Simmons stopped them because he has spent decades patiently researching the causes, effects and dynamics of loosely tied collective behavior patterns of individuals at micro and macro levels of socia- ... wait... hang on...Greg Tito said:
No, no he didn't. He just mouthed off when a bunch of have-a-go pizza chewers made a fool of him. He didn't know where to begin so he talked smack and then... didn't do anything.
That man's over-confidence is only matched by his company's insignificance. Its only real credibility came from its competence and now that is shot to hell; its biggest delusion is that enough people will still be over-confident in its performance that it will still be worth something.
No company that values security would trust such a blowhard who has been so publicly humiliated by a flock of giggling geeks. The best he can do is just by some curtains and a dog and hope they don't decide he also likes pizza.

-People who do not know how to argue.
-People who have never heard the term "logical fallacy".
-People who do not understand how the internet works.
-People who do not understand how Anonymous works.
-People who do not understand how the FBI works.
-People who do not understand the American legal system and have never read the Constitution.
-People who do not understand economics.
I usually lurk the Escapist, but I had to make an account here just to express that 90% of the people in this thread are grossly misinformed and completely illogical in their reactions. Many of you have blown the issue out of proportion, many of the rest have come into this "discussion" with far too many preconceived notions and erroneous prejudices about the parties involved in this news story.
I see more intelligent discussion on 4chan.

You are correct here. If you have time, maybe you could inform some people here.BVBFanatic said:
I find it funny how many people assume anonymous is just a location with a set amount of people and a structure.
Lets take the black market as an example, how many people think there is a location and a designated place for the black market? Enough for me to say this, you are wrong. Whenever an illegal transaction has taken place in anyway it falls under the black market. It's not a place, location or set piece, it is a category for illegal transactions
Same with anonymous. Anonymous is not an organisation, it is not just 4chan and it is not some business model like a lot of people are implying. Anonymous is anyone on the internet without information, a name, a face, address or anything that links them to themselves. They are a collective movement with collective ideas, not a hierarchy. I am anonymous, you are anonymous, your mother is anonymous, your dad is anonymous along with everyone you know and love. Some could even be members of the FBI, I know several anonymous people who are in the police force so what are the chances one of them is in the FBI.
OT: Oh this is turning out to be quite the fight, I wonder what will happen in the end. My predictions either an internet depicted as a barren wasteland where the law fears to tread or they turn off the internet altogether
