Anonymous Threatens To “Destroy” Facebook

It has been reported that the Hacker Group known as Anonymous or Anon, will “DestroyFacebook on Nov, 5th 2011. Anonymous has accused Facebook of spying on users, cooperating with authoritarian governments and abusing people’s privacy.

Anonymous is well known for their attacks on organizations which included U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, PBS.org, Fox.com and the U.K.’s Serious Organised Crime Agency.

There has been a YouTube video that was posted in regards to the attacks, which you can see below. In the video, the voice states that they will “Kill Facebook for the sake of your own privacy,”

Although the name of Anonymous has been connected with the threat to Facebook, Anon has not posted any such threats on their Twitter feed or Blog. This may just be a hoax. This may be the work of a very bored and stupid individual.

Questions to Facebook regarding the threat ended in a ‘no comment’ by a Facebook representative.

Anonymous always ends any communication with:

“Knowledge is free. We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us.”
