This message makes reference to several past news releases tying Facebook to the sharing of “private” user information and notes that Facebook is the antithesis of the AntiSec cause.As you may or may not know, AntiSec, aka Anti-Security, is a “movement” of hackers working through the internet to oppose the computer security industry. This same group (including LulzSec as well this time) was recently supposedly the group behind hacks of police stations across the United States done to show solidarity for one “Topiary”, a supposed hacker suspected of working with LulzSec to attack several institutions who is now being charged with said crimes in Europe.
