Anonymous promises attacks every Friday. Published time: February 20, 2012 18:51 Edited time: March 07, 2012 12:19 AFP Photo / Johanna Leguerre “You should have expected us.” It’s the calling card that Anonymous has signed-off their online assaults with since the start of their Internet crusades. As the hacktivists continue to come down hard on the websites of corrupt corporations and governments, they’re offering the warning once more. Anonymous is cautioning future targets something that they think should have been clear of awhile ago: they’re serious.
Following a series of highly-publicized attacks on the websites and computer networks of government and private sector entities across the globe, operatives allegedly involved in the hacking collective Anonymous announced that their ruthless assaults and raids will not cease. “Each and every Friday Anonymous will be launching attacks… with the specific purpose of wiping as many corrupt corporate and government systems off our Internet,” reads the message.
Anonymous Promises Regularly Scheduled Friday Attacks #FFF. Anonymous Hacker group promised that every Friday will bring a new attack against government and corporate sites under the theme of #FFF, or F*** the FBI Friday. Few days back, Anonymous hacked three FTC websites, business.ftc.gov, consumer.gov and ncpw.gov, the National Consumer Protection Week partnership website to protest ACTA. Anons claiming responsibility for the attack spoke to Wired.com in an online chat just as it happened, freely admitting that there was nothing technically remarkable in this hack. As one remarked, “own & rm and move on.” (rm being a unix command to delete data.) “Yes, each and every Friday we will be launching attacks… with the specific purpose of wiping as many corrupt corporate and government systems off our internet,” Wired.com quoted as Anonymous saying.
Anonymous promises regularly scheduled Friday attacks. Anonymous, a group not known for discipline, is giving itself a weekly deadline, a new attack every Friday. Following the 14th February compromise of the website of tear gas maker Combined Systems, Inc., the Antisec wing of Anonymous struck a Federal Trade Commission webserver which hosts three FTC websites, business.ftc.gov, consumer.gov and ncpw.gov, the National Consumer Protection Week partnership website. Claiming this hack in opposition of the controversial international copyright treaty known as ACTA, which had been widely protested around the world for its potential to curtail freedom of expression on the internet, Anonymous continued the political messaging that has marked much of its recent high-profile actions.
