Oops. Anonymous Hacks North Korea.


Anonymous announced recently it was going after North Korea for their role in the nuclear escalation.  Wednesday April 3, 2013, it was announced that they had taken over North Korea's Twitter and Flickr accounts.

Two press releases were issued by Anonymous.  The first of which can be found here.  The second of which can be found here.  The second release goes so far as to use a famous line from the move Tropical Thunder...very amusing.

On a personal note, while these guys have been known to do some questionable acts, recently I am really getting a kick out of their direction.  Although these acts are illegal in the US and most other countries, at least this disobedience is not violent.  There is something to be said about that.

Anonymous to Release Senstive Information, Operation Warhead

Anonymous is about to release a warhead, metaphorically.  The hacktivist organization Anonymous has issued a statement, complete with video of it's most recent exploit of the United States' websites www.ussc.gov.  This is on the suicide of Aaron Swartz, co-founder of Reddit and internet activist, who was facing hacking charges for downloading scholarly documents in MIT's library.  This a bold and very dangerous step Anonymous has taken and more will be released today to the media outlets.  I urge you to take a look at this video which is an audio presentation of the written text.

The video is depicting various scenes including those of missiles and similar type weapons.  It is clear that this is only about sensitive information and not an actual warhead, however when watching the video it would seem the message could be misunderstood.  It also appears that this is one of many to come.

Up until this point, we have watched other countries dive into revolution and chaos while we sit in the comfort of our own homes.  What will happen when our citizens become fed up with the laws of this nation, how would that revolution start.  Maybe it already has.
