tbh I wouldn't be too sad to see this happen, they do have a point

[ILoveTRW]

this group looks like the real deal
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_(group)

[Jords]

That is really wierd D:

[Chuck]

This video was probably recorded by the kind of people that think having free health care is communism.

[Patrick]

Bet Google+ is feeling quite happy right now.

[Locke.]

What sad bastards they come across as in that video :joker:

Not too bothered if they do get rid of Facebook as long as I remember to save all my photos beforehand

[Jords]

How can they even do it!? :conf:

[Shaun]

-isn't too fussed either way-

I don't agree with FB owning the rights to all of your photos. And if you're worried about keeping in contact with friends then there's always other sites :P

[Maia]

LEGENDS.

Really hope this happens. Can't stand that overrated crap website.

[\PJ/]

I hope they destroy it once and for all.

[Maia]

I hope they destroy it once and for all.

:worship:

[Livia]

I like to think of the person who made this clip, sitting in his nylon underpants with his huge belly hanging over the waistband, in his bedroom, in his mum's house, surrounded by porn and acne cream, desperately trying to justify his pathetic existance.

Cyber terrorists and hackers need to be locked up for a long, long time.

Having said all that, if Facebook disappeared, it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.

[MTVN]

This video was probably recorded by the kind of people that think having free health care is communism.

I don't think so, Anonymous is comprised largely of Anarchist types with Socialist sympathies

[Ramsay]

Those are the same guys that hacked PSN yeah?
bastards wont leave me alone D:

[Boothy]

Yeah, they are. This is probably legit.

Can't wait to see what happens :joker:

[Ramsay]

Yeah its exciting alright:laugh:

[Jordan.]

Can't they put the date forward? :idc:

[Callum]

Would love it to happen :amazed:

[Niall]

Idegaf to be honest. It'll be quite fun watching everyone who's a Facebook addict flounder as their site is destroyed while I sit on Tumblr laughing at them all.

[Scarlett.]

lmao at the use of Microsoft Mike

[MTVN]

Looks like some people in Anonymous aren't really happy about it, from their twitter (http://twitter.com/#!/anonops)

#OpFacebook is being organised by some Anons. This does not necessarily mean that all of #Anonymous agrees with it.

[CharlieO]

I'd laugh but be annoyed to lose all the photos I am tagged in.

[Jords]

Even if you dont like the site/think its overrated why would you be pleased? Doesnt affect you :S

-would miss it-

[Jords]

Id find it hilarious on the day but then after be annoyed :laugh:

[InOne]

Well now they've given facebook a heads up they can protect it even more :joker: Idiots

[mkdfan]

Probs an extreeeemly fat person with no life and no friends doin all the hacking.

[Ramsay]

Its definitely Harry behind this attack!

[Boothy]

Its definitely Harry behind this attack!

:laugh:

That crafty, little bugger.

[Doogle]

[CharlieO]

[Harry!]

Not sure if Facebook stands a chance?

But I don't get how the little wankers are going to bring down the world's biggest website using bombs and silly little threats that they didn't even carry out - as a method of doing so?

[Patrick]

-isn't too fussed either way-

I don't agree with FB owning the rights to all of your photos. And if you're worried about keeping in contact with friends then there's always other sites :P

Like what exactly?

Everyone is on Facebook :joker: We can't all just go back to the days of Bebo or MySpace Jesus.

[Maia]

Its definitely Harry behind this attack!

How do you know it isn't me? :wink:

LOL that video's just a load of sh*t, they don't use bombs or physical attacks or any of that stuff, they're hackers, that's how they're gonna try to bring the site down

No

[Ramsay]

These guys are pretty legit so i wouldnt be surprised if they actually close facebook

[InOne]

Well seen as how rich the FB creators are, and now they've had a heads up, think they can afford to employ people to stop it.

[Ramsay]

Think the date is probably a diversion
Plus they've taken down loads of other sites
They even took down PSN..they are crazy like

[Stu]

If they took down Sony they can take down Facebook.

I hope it happens. I'm one of those people who is on Facebook because his friends are and he doesn't want to miss anything.

With Facebook down not only do I have to not be on it anymore but I'm not at risk of missing anything.

Die, Facebook, die.

[arista]

Stupid letting them know when.


Facebook is here to stay.

[Jords]

I bet Google+ hired them like a hitman.

[arista]

"If they took down Sony "


But Sony is Online Now
so it was a temp problem.


Google+ will be next.

Regarding giving away the date, this lot aren't stupid, they'll having something planned. I reckon they're more than likely just going to try and take personal information, to show people how insecure their data is, with the intent of deterring new people from joining or make existing users disable their account rather than take down the site.

[Ramsay]

http://anonplus.bombshellz.net/

they got banned from google+ so they are trying to make their own social network

Yeah they'll probably do the same as they did to Sony and just try and cause maximum embarrassment for them, they might take the site down for a short time but they won't be able to do permanently

[MTVN]

Not sure if it'll actually go ahead though http://www.v3.co.uk/v3-uk/security-watchdog-blog/2101052/anonymous-elders-reclaim-control-denounce-opfacebook

Hacktivist group Anonymous has renounced the OpFacebook campaign revealed yesterday, which was aimed at "destroying" the social network because of its alleged collusion with oppressive governments and erosion of user privacy.

A YouTube video posted to the site on 16 July seems to be the main source of the rumours of a planned Anonymous attack on Facebook on 5 November. The video features an Anonymous logo, and encourages any would-be hacktivists to "join the cause and kill Facebook for the sake of your own privacy".

At the time, Anonymous did not seem to be able to decide whether the video was a hoax or not. The Anonyops Twitter account first posted a message saying it was indeed a fake. "We don't 'kill' the messenger, that's not our style," it said.

However, the account then modified its statement a few hours later, saying that Operation Facebook is indeed being organised by some members of the group.

"This does not necessarily mean that all of #Anonymous agrees with it," it added.

The latest Twitter activity, however, seems to indicate that senior members of the group have decided to denounce the OpFacebook campaign completely, instead urging supporters who dislike Facebook to delete account data.

"An Anonymous board meeting was held. We have decided to renounce #OpFacebook. That is all," noted one statement.

Anonops then revealed that "the old hats of Anonymous" had decided to take a firmer role in the direction of the group.

"We're taking Anon back. Time for sensible, focused discussion," it said.

[Kerry]

Hate FB and don't use it but also hate hacking of any kind. Yep it can be funny. But think about if it happens to you. Not funny then and I'm sure you'd change your minds. Wasn't this place hacked once?


Sorry to piss on parades

[Kerry]

I missed it. Just heard about it when I came back and it was the 'new' forum

[Boothy]

Yeah I remember that well. :bored:

Did you ever find out who/why?

[Shaun]

I think it was a hacking forum who just do it for the (apparent) lols. Not a previously banned member or anything juicy like that. I can't remember what happened... I just remember the site being really different.

[Vicky.]

Did you ever find out who/why?

Apparently it was done to show us the security flaws on the old system(this came from the people/person who did it). How true that is though, I dont know :/

Goodbye overrated website

[MTVN]

http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2122745/anonymous-rejects-5th-november-attack-facebook

THE WIDER PART of the Anonymous hacktivist group has again publicly denounced a proposal to attack the social networking web site Facebook.

The suggestion that the group would use its weight to attack the social network was first mooted in August, when the most well known Anonymous Twitter accounts distanced themselves from the idea. On the eve of the 5th November, when the attack was planned to take place, the same groups and their most notorious members have again tried to quash the rumours.

"We told you many times ddosing Facebook was a fake operation," says a message posted today on the @Anonops account.

:whistle:

[King Gizzard]

Probably realised they wouldn't succeed lol

[GypsyGoth]

:laugh2: @ hacktivist.

[Beastie]

I would find it hilarious if they destoyed it. lol

[Maia]

Well if they don't do it then I will, so all is good.

[sexyb4ck]

even though im on it most days i can live with out it

[Glenn.]

Well ten minutes have passed and no Facebook Apocalypse. I'm going for a cigarette.

[Scarlett.]

I think Anon have forgotten this, since most of them disagreed anyway, plus they're doing more important stuff today, like exposing peado sites
http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/operation-darknet#final

[Saph]

It will probably happen at 11:59pm :laugh:

[Josy]

Well.........

[Jack_]

I wonder if all the pictures over the last few days are down to this lot...

[Scarlett.]

Nope, Anonymous attack sites via DDoS, not with silly little hacks that target a few users at a time

[Vicky.]

Those silly little hacks that affect a few users can also help a lot with the DDOS attacks. RAT a load of victims (or slaves) via silly little things a bit like whats going round right now, and bam, you have you zombies for the next attack ;)

[Niall]

I wanted this to actually happen. :sad:
