Anon (May Have) Announced Planned Attack on Facebook on Nov. 5th
The Hacker Group Anonymous who is associated with Wiki Leaks and responsible for infamous successful hacktivism attacks on Wiki Leaks investigators, and companies such as Visa and MasterCard may have announced that it will attack Facebook on November 5th 2011.
The Hacktivism group claims that they will destroy the social networking site and have listed non transparent privacy policies and sharing of data with public officials as key reasons for the planned attack.
Please keep in mind that these announcements came from a new youtube account, a new twitter account and an online post all from new accounts so some speculate that this is a hoax either by Anon or by an unrelated third party pretending to be associated with Anon.
Assuming it is not a hoax and the attack will happen, the question remains, will Zuckerberg and his team be able to stave off the attack.
Here is the announcement on YouTube which was linked to from the above mentioned twitter account and the text of which was scribed in the above mentioned post: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWQTS8zqYXU
