Our wonderful patriots, Anonymous are claiming having taken down the CIA website (probably using malware infested bot computers) most likely with DNS attacks. Worse, they stole the names, addresses, email addresses, telephone numbers, and Social Security numbers of some 46,000 people from the State of Alabama website.
Well, I suppose it was to be expected. Now Anonymous has made another terroristic threat. This time the would be champion of the downtrodden has issued poorly veiled anti-Semitic threats using the old, hackneyed and fallacious references of the “Elders of Zion” variety (ruling the media, etc.) and vowed a “Crusade” (the historical Crusades involved the mass murder of Jews, among others) in three parts. The voice is disguised in the video released on Youtube. Very brave, Anonymous. Glad there’s software which reverses that.
The first – probably the old, boring DNS attacks/SQL injections to “remove Israel from the internet”. Step two “will be later disclosed and is already in initiation.” The third stage is unclear, but won’t stop until “the police state becomes a free state.”
“Step one will be initiated after the release of this video and will be comprised of systematically removing you from the internet. Step two will be later disclosed and is already in initiation; and, as for step three, well, think of this one as a present from Anonymous to you – we will not stop until the police state becomes a free state. We are Anonymous, we are legion, we do not forgive, we do not forget. Israeli government expect us.”
Well, in its usual overblown, doublespeak tradition, the aggressor is defined as the underdog and the attacked as the aggressor. With no knowledge of history or truth, they plan attacks on Israel which has done nothing to these self styled arbiters of justice. Further, they accuse Israel of planning a nuclear holocaust. One: It’s Iran that’s trying to get the bomb, stupid. Two: Do not steal the name of that which was perpetrated on the Jews and accuse them of trying to do that to others.
At any rate, I’m really hoping Israel and its newly created IDF Cyber Command hands Anonymous its butt, and ends up revealing who they are and causes their capture, and conviction. This time, they’re taking on folks the Technion (Israel’s M.I.T.) produced, and tech gurus like you wouldn’t believe. It’s not for no reason that MS, Apple, Intel and other high tech power houses chose to buy Israeli tech companies and open centers of development in Israel.
Oh yes, Anonymous. I have such fond hopes for you criminal Lochsley “wanna be”s.
