In regard to the last comment, I suppose Hoglund is preparing to fight Anonymous in the same manner that Bush was prepared to fight Al Qaeda.

I jest. I jest.

Man that would awesome, pity the next move will probably be something like "FBI captures 50 Anon members who forgot to mask their IP address"

Then Anon will do something else fucking awesome like hacking the American President's Facebook account and changing his status to I suk ballzzzz... Shit now i really want that to happen...
it would be so much easier if THIS was the president

I don't see why I would ever support the actions of folk like Anonymous (edit: see their very mature behavior on hacked Twitter)

maybe I'm only a rebel when authorities get in my face in person? lol

I have to say messing with such a company might not be a smart move.
No matter how good of a hacker you are, theres allways someone whos better.

Hmm, I'm interested to see how this ends.
Prediction right now: the internet gets turned off. Yes it's an incredibly drastic move, but I calls 'em like I sees 'em.
No, I think it would be more regulated websites. Like no originals just government crap.

Does anyone else feel a movie adaptation coming up?

In all honesty, I think the FBI should just hire Anonymous.

So a couple of guys that know computer lingo and know how to lie got into an email server. That's it? Sounds like more sensationalism to me. You guys really need to start downplaying this whole "Anonymous gang" stuff. 99% of "Anonymous" are teenagers with too much time on their hands. They are hardly internet rebels. This is coming from a person who regularly posts on /b/.

Anyways, not sure why a couple people with technical knowledge would help a bunch of idiots who used LOIC. Only the most novice of "hackers" use that shit. Ping flooding isn't exactly state of the art.

I can just picture the anonymous members who are doing this: fat, greasy, pizza faces, probably getting off of their "success" (or whatever you wanna call it)

Me: Yeah, me too?

:p

OT:

...I wonder when Anonymous will do something huge that'll end up with the whole country/world getting a required internet filter/monitor with their computers, watching everything everyone does to look for anyone that might be Anonymous.

First they came... [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_they_came%E2%80%A6]

At their core, Anon seems to be pushing for true net neutrality (but far be it from me to articulate the will of the horde).

You can't hire an idea. Anon aren't all hackers. Anon is a collection of like-minded people tied solely around an ideology. Even then its loosely based. Some are hackers, many are not.

I sort of see this as a huge troll wars. I have both respects for both sides, but it is a bit like that.

On a side note -- a challenge for "Anonymous."

'Hey guys? How about putting all your amazing haxoring ability into cracking some terrorists sites? Or China's?

I'm sure the FBI would be your best buds then.
Because Anomynous probably views forcing accountability and transparency to a nation that claims to be the 'leader of the free world' to be of higher importance to those who don't.

That and cracking into China would anger normal Chinese netizens who view it as an declaration of war on their country, it's a "I can hit my brother but you cannot hit my brother" deal.

How the hell did they get that guys Social Security number? And come to think of it, what are you supposed to do once your social security number has been compromised?

And didn't the Pirate Bay get taken down?

While i do appreciate Anonymous fighting for the freedom the internet provides i really think it's gotten out of hand...

As has been mentioned before in this thread they're way too good at what they do and due to the nature of that group there's not really any stopping them either unless they want to... and they're clearly never gonna want to stop.

Please, people, for the love of all that is good, try to understand. Anonymous is not a group. It's not an organization. It's not a bunch of hackers all banded together to accomplish a goal. Anonymous is a Mask.

The reason they seem so unfocused and so hard to catch, and the reason why sometimes they do great justice and other times they are just douchebags and criminals, is because they are not united. Anonymous is exactly like the Guy Fawkes mask it so often dons. You pick it up, you put it on, and now anything you do is put on the tab of the mask, not you.

Think of it as in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, when you reach the top of the thieves guild, you get the Gray Fox mask, and when you wear it, you have a 10,000 gold bounty and can do whatever you want, but when you take it off, you are you and nobody is any the wiser.

I know that. Doesn't mean they couldn't come to an agreement with the part of Anonymous that is hacker.

wow anonymous really needs to be taken out there too dangerous and too good at what they do
Agreed. 'Anonymous' are really just criminals who use ID theft to fund their crimes. Calling themselves 'heroes' is insulting to anybody who works for a living.
What crimes, pray tell? Protesting against Scientology? Defending Wikileaks? Revealing a sham of a security company that is taking peoples private information and selling it to the FBI? What?
If revealing what the company was doing was all they did it wouldn't be bad but stealing the guys Identity. Defending Wikileaks is one thing but taking down sites like Pay Pal is illegal.
So is stealing people's personal infomation.

Unless The Escapist is being admin'd by moonlighting members of this testament to Planned Parenthood, may I humbly request that you stop posting stories about these children? It seems like we are seeing weekly updates on what 4year old Chan is up to, and all it seems to be doing is legitimizing their actions. Anonymous is neither news, nor interesting, nor relevant to the internet. Unless we make them.

Whiskey Echo!!
