hacker group doesn’t like facebook, has a cool symbol…
Wednesday, 10. August 2011
Ever since I saw that douche bag get with Angelina Jolie in Hackers I thought being a hacker would be really cool, plus I was kind of into rollerblading at the time and all the hacker in the movie roller-bladed - looking back now, I think I was kind of a dork; but whatever, being a hacker still seems like it would be really cool. HACK THE PLANET! That goofy, ass-face from Scream was in that movie too. Fuck that was a terrible movie.
Anyway, some hacker group is mad at Facebook, from this story:
Anonymous could be planning a Nov. 5 cyber attack against the world’s largest social networking site, Facebook.
Whoever posted the video — whether actually from members of Anonymous or someone claiming to be affiliated with the group — said the reasoning behind the planned attack was allegations of Facebook selling its users’ personal information to government agencies “so that they can spy on people from all around the world. Some of these so-called whitehat infosec firms are working for authoritarian governments, such as those of Egypt and Syria. “
Of course, November 5th is Guy Fawkes day. And this is what I don’t get about vigilantes these days; they always pick days that are already famous for something someone else did that was similar. Guy Fawkes didn’t try to blow up Parliament on someone else’s day. Pick your own day. Be original. Or don’t, I don’t really care.
Would Facebook really be missed? It might be a little bit of a hassle to go back to myspace or to something new, maybe Google+ (is that something people use, yet?).
I take it back, Hackers was a cool movie, and I was cool, too:
