Actions to retaliate for treatment of WikiLeaks, Manning, spokesman for Anonymous says DALLAS — A leader of the computer hackers group known as Anonymous is threatening new attacks on major U.S. corporations and government officials as part of at an escalating “cyberwar” against the citadels of American power. “It’s a guerilla cyberwar — that’s what I call it,” said Barrett Brown, 29, who calls himself a senior strategist and “propagandist” for Anonymous. He added: “It’s sort of an unconventional, asymmetrical act of warfare that we’ve involved in. And we didn’t necessarily start it. I mean, this fire has been burning.” A defiant and cocky 29-year-old college dropout, Brown was cavalier about accusations that the group is violating federal laws. He insisted that Anonymous members are only policing corporate and governmental wrongdoing — as its members define it. www.msnbc.msn.com/id/41972190/ns/technology_and_science-security/ |

Didn't the Democratic Party declare war on business a long time ago?

...doesn't "hacking something" kind of imply that you're uninvited in there, trespassing, and criminal?  |

Actually if a 12-year old can hack into the pentagon, I am sure a group of hackers can do much worse if they really wanted too. Personally this is my field and I can see that it is possible.

<<< A leader of the computer hackers group known as Anonymous is threatening new attacks on major U.S. corporations and government officials as part of at an escalating “cyberwar” against the citadels of American power. >>> ...so they're basically flaunting themselves... like a terrorist group, a la Hamas or the IRA? ...just makes me scratch my head... I suppose there's still some romance involved in "hacking" since it's still a relatively new crime... but just the fact that we have an official hackers group makes me wonder... we don't have an official "TP a house" group or an official "Vandalism and Graffiti" group... or do we? ...what a world... |
