Anonymous Vows Facebook Destruction on Nov 5

Well-known hacker group threatened the users of one of the most popular social networks.

It’s time again for us to hear from Anonymous, that rather well-known yet hacker group whose members remain largely, well, anonymous. The announcement made today makes clear that whichever member(s) of the hacktivist group have created said call to action are preparing to take down Facebook, one of the most popular and well-traveled social networks and indeed websites on the internet.Of course, as with all “Anonymous” messages, only time will tell if this announcement is “real”, “fake”, or just a message made by a single “member” of Anonymous to rally the rest of the “real” Anonymous troops. 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. Anonymous, under the AntiSec banner once more, perhaps aims at the big blue social networking site this time:
