Not sure if it'll actually go ahead though http://www.v3.co.uk/v3-uk/security-w...nce-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.

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.

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.

[King Gizzard]

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