Thread: [UPDATED]Anonymous: #OpGlobalBlackout Targets Banks, Facebook, Xbox Live, PSN

Anonymous is back with their grandest threat yet.
Yesterday, an innocuous YouTube video was posted titled, “Anonymous Message to Congress.” The video was made in response to the shutting down of MegaUpload on Thursday by the federal government. This, as we reported, led to Anonymous’ largest coordinated attack in their history with over 5,000 people taking down over 10 federal and industry Web sites.

The video, which you can watch in its entirety below, is phase one of #OpGlobalBlackout.
They do recognize that MegaUpload contained copyrighted content, but say that the take down was not about copyrighted materials. Anonymous demands that MegaUpload be reinstated within 72 hours.
Anonymous claims that they have gained access to the servers for the United Nations, PlayStation Network, Xbox Live, US Bank, Capital One, Chase Bank, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. If their demands are not met, they will take down all of these servers.

For the banks, Anonymous claims that they have the account info of every client at these banks. They want to reassure citizens, however, that they are not going to compromise their information. They only want to make a statement to Congress.
As for Congress, they have a very special message – “To those who support PIPA and SOPA. To those congressmen who want to vote yes on these bills. We are not ****ing playing.”
This has essentially turned into a game of chicken between Anonymous and the U.S. Government with the Internet in the crossfire.

learn what anon is. and then you might understand why that can't ever happen.

I know what they are, it's a nice hope though.
If they keep their crap up then I will cheer when they are all arrested.
