On Sunday, Anonymous, the hacker collective that recently diverted CBS.com and took down the DOJ website, asked those on Twitter what they would like to see them hack next. You might be surprised that the responses were relatively light-hearted, ranging from WorldHipHopStar.com and Pinterest to the more serious, Visa:
Here are some of the retweet responses from @YourAnonNews’ tweet:
A faction of Anonymous on Monday also announced it would be attacking Facebook — again. Last year, the group threatened Facebook but action was not carried out. Now, Anonymous has invited people to “become part of the greatest internet protest and first official cyber war”. In its video call to action, Anonymous states that taking down Facebook would “be enough to show them indeed that we are not, playing.”
Watch the announcement of the attack Anonymous is planning against Facebook for Jan. 28:
Update: Anonymous has tweeted that this video is a fake. There are several inconsistencies with the video, compared to other Anonymous announcements.

Anon is like a virus erase one another pops up. The establishment will have no choice but to demand into their demands of FREEDOM from tyranny. Eventually the establishment will have to back down because as ANON grows people will refuse to implement the abusive demands the bureaucrats are implementing against INDIVIDUAL CIVIL RIGHTS………….which is what Anon demands the stopping of abuses by those who think they are in power over others when ANON knows that the REAL power lies with the INDIVIDUALS bold and brave to stand up to the tyranist.

Posted on January 24, 2012 at 4:28pmI would suggest that the Iranian military would be an acceptable target. It would be a major coo to disable their military and science research divisions. This would be an epic hack and the major nations would probably not go after them too bad.

Posted on January 24, 2012 at 7:17pmOCCUPY was started by ANON duh!!! Anon is anti-corrupt govs and corrupt corporations.
ANON can be likened to the youth movement of the 60s. they are in their 20/30 cyber generation.
Watch V-Vendetta it is an allegory of what they are about. They are about hating the 50/60 year old NWO moguls who created the misery around the world.
In the 60s it was the “Peace” sign as indicated by the pigeons feet. THIS generations is the “guy Fawkes mask.” BOTH stand for the same thing. “WE are taking their crap anymore.”
People PLEEEZE before you make stupid remarks could you just do some research and get educated.

Posted on March 20, 2012 at 12:28am@culpergang That’s funny. Every time I try to point out that Anon started occupy, I get a buttload of responses that it’s grassroots and anon had nothing to do with it and that I need to “educate myself” before I make stupid statements.

Posted on January 24, 2012 at 1:20pmI am not sure about them taking down Facebook. From what I understand Facebook has 60 servers, so I believe it would be a difficult ddos, but of course I am not an(on) expert. They just released another cc fetch http://pastebin.com/fakXQGBx. There is a daily onslaught of websites being attacked. Today they are hitting the government’s FTC site that teaches online safety OnGuardOnline.gov and shut it down.
