Hacker group who took credit in hacking Syria’s defense site last Monday is targeting Facebook as their next victim. Anonymous, politically motivated hackers are targeting Facebook because they claim that Facebook is using its registered member’s personal information by selling it to Government agencies so they can spy on them or should I say “US”. The date of the operation is on November 5, Guy Fawke’s Day in Britain. If you watched “V for Vendetta”, on the first part of the movie, the scene was all about Guy Fawke who placed explosives under the British House of Lords on 1605. Common type of operation of “Anonymous” is by using Distributed Denial-Of-Service attack or commonly known as DDoS Attack. What’s gonna happen with this one is that the hacker will send you loads of packets until your internet connection will slow down or worse, you’ll lose connection to the Internet. This happened to me before when I had a fight with this guy from IRC who happen to be a hacker. He attacked me by using DDoS and there I lost my Internet connection. Good thing I was at the Internet café that time, my personal Internet connection was not touched. So, going back to the Anonymous’ announcement of attack at Facebook, we should all be waiting for this and see what’s Facebook’s counter-attack to them. Check on the video below for Anonymous' announcement. Good luck to both sides! ☺
