Anonymous attack on Facebook?

Anonymous Says It's Going To Attack Facebook Next




3 January, 2012


In the wake of the federal takedown of Megaupload, hacker collective Anonymous has been on a retaliatory spree.



And according to a video posted this morning on a seemingly Anonymous-affiliated YouTube account, Facebook is their next target. The video encourages people to download a linked program that they can use to attack Facebook.

This isn't the first time they've threatened Facebook, but if this video's authentic, it means the threat could be acted upon soon. Other sites they've mentioned as targets in the past include the United Nations, Xbox Live, U.S. Bank, Twitter, and YouTube.

UPDATE 4:45 p.m. – The Anonymous-affiliated Twitter account @anonops has tweeted that they, at least, will not attack Facebook. (via PCMag)
