A new YouTube video by hacker group Anonymous warns Mexico's Zetas drug cartel that if the cartel doesn't free a kidnapped member of the group, the hackers will expose the Zetas' allies in the local police and news media to the world. In the video, Anonymous says it is "tired of the criminal group the Zetas, which is dedicated to kidnapping, stealing and extortion," and that it will fight back with information instead of weapons.
In 2008 Anonymous hashed out a press release. It read like the script to a movie trailer, so somebody proposed turning it into a video, combing Archive.org to dig up images of rolling clouds and ominous background music available under a Creative Commons license. They kept fiddling with the ending of the script, using Anonymous-associated phrases already in circulation. Another contributor proposed a conclusion: "We are Anonymous. We are legion. We do not forgive, we do not forget." Pause. "Expect us."
Since June 2001, the Department of Homeland Security has issued three "bulletins" warning cyber-security professionals of hacking successes and future threats by Anonymous and related groups, including a call to physically occupy Manhattan's Wall Street on Sept. 17 in protest of various U.S. government policies.
The hacking group Anonymous claimed via its Twitter feed to have breached servers belonging to NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization military alliance that has largely been responsible for the military defense of Europe since the end of World War II. There has been a lot made of the fact that the files were not really secure documents but "lame" as described by one writer, but then, when does the government or any big agency ever tell that truth.
Acting like Robin Hood of old Anonymous has hacked the Stratfor site obtaining credit card info and emails. Anonymous also linked to images online that it suggested were receipts for charitable donations made by the group manipulating the credit card data it stole. "Thank you! Defense Intelligence Agency," read the text above one image that appeared to show a transaction summary indicating that an agency employee's information was used to donate $250 to a non-profit. One receipt - to the American Red Cross - had Allen Barr's name on it. Barr, of Austin, Texas, recently retired from the Texas Department of Banking and said he discovered last Friday that a total of $700 had been spent from his account. Barr, who has spent more than a decade dealing with cybercrime at banks, said five transactions were made in total. "It was all charities, the Red Cross, CARE, Save the Children.
The need to remain anonymous at live protests led the group to adopt its now-familiar mask depicting a highly stylized visage of Guy Fawkes , an early-17th-Century British figure who was executed following a foiled plot to assassinate King James I. Though Brits have long used effigies of Fawkes in their Guy Fawkes Night celebrations, this particular, cartoonish representation comes from the 1980s comic-book series , V for Vendetta: A vigilante character wore such a mask while overthrowing a totalitarian British government in an imagined dystopian future.
In Canada alone we have events that ended some of our freedoms, but at the time seemed innocent enough. Prior to the party affiliation being shown on election ballets, anybody could run based on their abilities and people being able to recognize them, but with the implementation of the Party Symbols being placed on the ballets, now the Prime Minister and parties have control of who will be visible on the ballot....this was not a good thing for Canadian people and instantly changed the face of Canadian politics.
