EXCLUSIVE: FBI Raids Homes of Suspected Anonymous Hackers

Once one of the members bought the domain name AnonPlus, they revealed their name, address, and account information. All the FBI has to do now is get a warrant, and then they will be able to stop the group cold.

After seeing the news reports, I have a suspicion that its already happened.

Why do people keep claiming these people have accomplished something? They haven't accomplished anything useful. The only legislation that may come about due to their ridiculous skiddie attacks are ones further curtailing Internet freedom. WAY TO GO GUYS! Not exactly what I would call "mission accomplished."

To Joe Public, these guys are nothing. Just kids trying to steal bank account info. That's how they see them. The only people these guys are "heroes" to are the idiots who hang out in 4chan and the like.

It's like people who think UFO beliefs on this or other conspiracy forums will flavor the entire publics view on UFOS. In reality, the general public doesn't know about these sites, and they don't care about them. Anon is worthless, their "movement" hasn't accomplished a thing.

Anonymous is not here to tell you what to think or what to believe.

They want you to come to your own conclusions, do your own research. Don't even dare say that 20 something year olds are stupid and are not capable of writing beautiful things, or being mature. I know adults who have the mentality of a 7 year old having a tantrum. Age =/= Maturity

Do your research, the facts are there for all to see. Wether you agree or not is not going to stop them. Stop worrying about your money, your money which you actually do not own. Just because you earn money doesn't make it yours, every dollar is owed to someone somewhere.

The younger generation see the world for what it is now, we haven't been as conditioned to accept it like the older people have. No offence intended at all. Just my observations.

You can whine, and complain about Anonymous all you want, call them criminals, call them this, call them that. But in the end. This is our world now, we will be living here after you are long buried. And i sure as hell am not having bringing a child into this world in the state that it's in.

Stop Trolling. Stop profiling. Stop making uninformed accusations against people you dont actually know. And as for Anonymous, 45,000 members. Counting. Those are the ones that are registered, there are anons everywhere. The ones who fight for truth. Call it what you will.

Yet another member praising their government.

"Please, please, protect my privacy against Anonymous by relinquishing even more freedoms than Anonymous would have."

That's all I hear in your post.

Freedom to do what?? Should I have Freedom to do whatever I want? Such freedoms do not make a better society, there are laws that represent our moral views and tested in shaping up a moral society. There will always be Order, even when there is chaos which you seek so much, Order will come out of it with ease. Because thats what humans crave, if that concept is so foreign to you maybe its time to re-assess what kind of human you really are and what kind of dystopic life you want for people; maybe your needs are a reflection of your unreasonable anger towards society that's driving this. There's a reason "anarchists" have a bad name.

Purpose ?

Not exactly a purpose,but an ideal.

But lets not forget, instead of sitting on our butt and whine, we're using the same weapons as the enemy

And the enemy is our own gov.

I aint gonna move into a full explanation , im sure you can find more informations on the net, and more detailed than mine

But well, we know it cause some troubles and lots of peoples want to see us jailed
But its simply impossible.

They are everyone and they are no one. These are Anon's strengths. And they will be around as long as there is a government in power that seeks to limit the peoples rights. no amount of busted little "summertime" amateurs can stop that. Have they accomplished a "boston tea party?" or have they?

@section31, your disinformation thread is not very dis-informative.

Second, if the oldest person in the group is 28, I am only a few stone throws older than the eldest.

Don't give me that entitlement crap.

Not entitled at all. Merely pointing it out. Everyone is raised differently. Everyone has different views and ideals and morals. I see the things that a morally wrong. "Thats not right" is a very common thought in my head.

Just saying, judging what you do not understand makes you appear infantile.

Go ahead, and love your laws. The law is made to keep closed minds closed.

Even if AntiSec did get your personal information from mastercard, or whatever, they haven't actually done anything with it. Last i recall they didn't even hack mastercard, they merely shut down the websites.

And i would not be calling us Adolescence either, there are MILITARY men and women who have joined anonymous, to defend the constitution. They swore to the constitution, not to the government.

If the government wanted us all to follow the law, then they themselves would also follow the law. Along with their corporate buddies. But once again, you may think what you want about it, because when every last right is stripped away from you, we will still be the ones fighting for them.

do you know how many anon nodes are out there... closing down a website is not going to stop anything...

I bet this group will be finished within a short period of time.

edit on 7/20/2011 by Section31 because: (no reason given)

And more groups will splinter and grow.

Leaving fools like you to whine on forums and use words like adolesononymous, because that is the ONLY come back you can muster between the vague electrical pulses between both brain cells in your head.

I also bet you're the very same type of coward who will one day shout 'but why doesn't someone stand up to the corruption' - little realising, your pathetic and childish whinings are the very same thing that forced the authorities to attack the people who DID try and so something.

Shame on you.

/ awaits a typically boring response from yourself.

The FBI might have arrested some kids, but the media will just attract more and more people to the cause. As I say, for ever person arrested, 100 more will join the cause.

That fallacy has already been debunked a few pages ago.
For every attack they do, they gain exponentially more enemies than gaining a few sheep when someone gets arrested.
45 thousand is pathetic, meaningless. Book clubs have more members than that. So does tupperware.

Just like the early gangster days, the public tollerated them early on but when the mobsters started gunning each other down in the streets and innocent people were in the crossfire, the public awakened and sent the feds after them by demanding new laws and electing people who were tough on them.

This stuff is in the news, these and other arrests. Do you see any outrage at the arrests? No, and I predict being tough on cyber terrorism is going to be a major talking point in any and all platforms politicians will run on soon.

These guys won't bring down the system, they will get stomped on by the system.

A reminder...

Listen .to me here , this is for your own ultimate good , as I sigh away here due to frustration with the ignorance that has swallowed the very souls of humans who have actually been blessed to have taken birth at this time .

.You NEED to wake up , to ACTUALLY wake up !!!! . YOU need to find out what this reality is .
i know these words dont mean to you what they mean to me , but I wish I could give you the real meaning and that you could understand .

This awakenning is not political at all . That level is not awake . Find what is deeper . Go down the rabbit hole as they say .

Love is the Answer lalalal . I love John Lennons songs

People STILL think Anonymous is a "group"?
Looking forward the day people get that idea out of their heads. Authorities and civilians alike.

If the FBI AND the CIA both of which had their websites hacked in the past cannot secure and prevent this from occurring then it is highly likely that these DDOS attacks by these rank amateurs are not the real Brains behind Anonymous but instead anonymous wannabes.

Of course, LEO will beat on these kids to find out what they know....but hence the term Anonymous !

Which in case you didn't know is the default login account on all Unix/Linux operating systems....

All these clowns did was hack a website. A part of public domain. Yes it's secured in some fashion, but it's a lot more difficult to reach the inside infrastructure and databases pulling information on whatever targets and locations of wanted people.

By the way... security is tightened when someone thinks outside of the normal realm of thinking to create a problem. All of the best programmers work for companies, and I bet you can't find a single program of this year that was originally created with no problems whatsoever. So yes... these kids helped find a loophole to get their public domain website secured better... lol.

Wake up and be a sheep? Hahaha no thank you. Once you see the sheep for what they are you can never be one of them, maybe you got some waking up to do.

Been digging a little found this tweet:

research daily post/crier is out

link inside tweet led to :

research daily post/crier

at the bottom of the page (which includes a story about jihadists using cartoons to recruit children) I found this:

Anonymous & Lulz Security Statement - By: AnonymousIRC [14] | Jul 21st, 2011 | Syntax: None | Size: 2.60 KB | Views: 313 | Expires: Never Hello thar FBI and international law authorities, We recently stumbled across the following art...

the link led me to this document at pastebin link

Hello thar FBI and international law authorities,

We recently stumbled across the following article with amazement and a certain amount of amusement:

www.npr.org...

The statements made by deputy assistant FBI director Steve Chabinsky in this
article clearly seem to be directed at Anonymous and Lulz Security, and we are
happy to provide you with a response.

You state:

"We want to send a message that chaos on the Internet is unacceptable,
[even if] hackers can be believed to have social causes, it's entirely
unacceptable to break into websites and commit unlawful acts."

Now let us be clear here, Mr. Chabinsky, while we understand that you and
your colleagues may find breaking into websites unacceptable, let us tell
you what WE find unacceptable:

* Governments lying to their citizens and inducing fear and terror to keep
them in control by dismantling their freedom piece by piece.

* Corporations aiding and conspiring with said governments while taking
advantage at the same time by collecting billions of funds for
federal contracts we all know they can't fulfil.

* Lobby conglomerates who only follow their agenda to push the profits
higher, while at the same time being deeply involved in governments around
the world with the only goal to infiltrate and corrupt them enough
so the status quo will never change.

These governments and corporations are our enemy. And we will continue to
fight them, with all methods we have at our disposal, and that certainly
includes breaking into their websites and exposing their lies.

We are not scared any more. Your threats to arrest us are meaningless to
us as you cannot arrest an idea. Any attempt to do so will make your
citizens more angry until they will roar in one gigantic choir. It is our
mission to help these people and there is nothing - absolutely nothing - you
can possibly to do make us stop.

"The Internet has become so important to so many people that we have to
ensure that the World Wide Web does not become the Wild Wild West."

Let me ask you, good sir, when was the Internet not the Wild Wild West? Do
you really believe you were in control of it at any point? You were not.

That does not mean that everyone behaves like an outlaw. You see, most
people do not behave like bandits if they have no reason to. We become bandits
on the Internet because you have forced our hand. The Anonymous bitchslap rings
through your ears like hacktivism movements of the 90s. We're back - and we're
not going anywhere. Expect us.

So to all of those thinking that anonymous is a group of 20 or so hackers, they are wrong. They haven't got them all.

Here is a link to the indictment documents. Reading through the document, seems to me like they got people they arrested in the US don't link to much more than the DDOS attacks on paypal and MC.

thats all for now,.

Due to being a newly registered lurker, I can't start a new thread.

I am wondering about this hash that is being floated about on twitter apparantly somehow related.

th3j35t3r's twitter

Update: c2dc37a7d9d3238877a127f2d5171c9d t.co...

the hyperlink in the twitter leads to an article regarding the arrests,

I am wondering about "c2dc37a7d9d3238877a127f2d5171c9d".

What is the hash for? Is it something that th3j35t3r put in when he messed with Anon's DDOS tools that allows LE to catch the people indicted?

Does it have anything to do with the "insurance file" from wikileaks?

Also, have people given any thought to the term "skiddies"? Perhaps the term isn't a reference to age, but to inexperience. The age group of the people arrested around the world in connection seems to be 15 to 42 at this time,
To me that means that it is not logical to say this is a just pimply faced kids living in the basement of their parents house. It may mean that these are "skiddies" because they didn't have the experience nor the knowledge to hide their activities.

And please don't misunderstand, I am not one that thinks that it is ok to commit criminal acts. I do however understand the concept of civil disobedience.

So what part of the government do you work for? I just backtraced your IP and noticed that you are downloading illegal software. I will be notifying the cyber police. Say hello to all 43 million anonymous members while you are in prison...wait they didn't catch anyone.

The fact that people 'here' read or watch ANYTHING that comes from fox etc. is very disturbing to me!!!!
Anonymous on the other hand, rocks!!!
They should hit the alphabet club for some payback....
