The "Internet" is a funny thing when you think you master it, someone masters "you".
OHHHHH the Irony of this story is delicious.
Now this is a good story to get a person interested, what more crazy twist will happen?
Cant wait for the next development.
This almost makes material for making a movie "The hackers that hacked and got hacked"

Well I am from Turkey and I heard about these guy a couple of times. They are not that famous though.figment of mind said:
Also the information given about the word Akincilar is true but not complete. It actually means the special scout/commando troops of Ottoman Army. They usually worked in small teams and gathered intel, sabotaged supply lines etc. before the army attacks somewhere. They usually knew a couple of languages (which is funny because the English is really awful in that message). The town is named after them.
Still the whole thing is pretty hilarious. Best Turkish hacking news since the Twitter hack.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
That's just hilarious, I didn't think anyone would have the balls to hack them. Well Anon, it's your move.

When I get over to turkey in a couple of weeks, I am going thank these guys, Teşekkürler.
Ps: Its pronounced more like Ak"eh"nj"eh"lar

Wait, I looked more closely, and I think that implying that they are from that town is incorrect I would edit the story. I think "Akıncılar" could also refer to something else.Roughly translated, it implies something along the lines of "We have raided this website" Turkish is structured differently than English, and for most people, it would seem like one word, but I am learning turkish so I saw this. This is because "Akın" refers to a rush or rapid advance, often associated with an invasion, "cı" is one of the suffixes to say jobs, and "lar" means make it plural. Just my thoughts
Meh, wouldn't be the first time Anonymous got hacked by fellow Anons: an old acquaintance of mine and his hacker group once hacked 4chan and literally took it down for about a week, I wanna say.Andy Chalk said:Hackers Hit Anonymous Social Network
Just two days after it was revealed to the world, the Anonymous Social Network has been hacked.
Disclaimer: this whole situation could very easily be one big, silly joke. It's certainly ridiculous enough to merit at least a little bit of disbelief. But if there's one thing I've learned during my life on the internet, it's that "ridiculous" does not equal "didn't happen," and thus I present to you the story of Anon-Plus and the hackers who hacked the hackers.
As you might recall, we found out a couple of days ago that Anonymous, tired of being pushed around by the bullies at Google, launched Anon-Plus [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/111723-Anonymous-Launches-Its-Very-Own-Social-Network], its very own social network, where anything goes except breach of privacy. While still in the very early stages of development when it was unveiled, the creators promised big things for the future, although the focus seemed to be more on sticking it to The Man rather than sharing photos and "likes."
But two days later, things appear to have taken an interesting and, yes, amusing twist. Those who went to the site at anonplus.com [http://anonplus.com] this morning found that it looked a little different than it did the night before, with a modified Anonymous logo, another logo for "Cyber-Warrior Tim" and the following message:
We Are TURKIYE. We Are AKINCILAR.
This logo suits you more..How dare you rise against to the World..Do you really think that you are Ottoman Empire?
We thought you before that you cannot challenge with the world and we teach you cannot be social
Now all of you go to your doghouse..
Akincilar is the name of a town and district in Turkey, and also the handle used by a group of presumably-Turkish hackers who enjoy defacing random websites with militantly pro-Turkish messages. What the group has against Anonymous is a mystery at this point, but it's a safe bet that Anonymous will not just go to its doghouse as Akincilar suggested.
UPDATE: Anonymous has begun to undo the "damage" caused by Akincilar and while I still think the whole thing may be a lulzy ruse, the colorful comments directed at those responsible do tend to suggest that the attack was legitimate. If so, the fun might just be getting started.

Yeah, something tells me this hacker group is just another group within Anonymous who feels Anonymous is "selling out" by starting up a social networking site.
