The Devil you know is worse than the Devil you don't? I dunno about that. I think that they are becoming increasingly bold. Boldness is not bad in and of itself, but if people want to know why the gov't is cracking down on all that's going on the internet, I feel that you have to look at these hacked systems...the FBI, cyber security firms, the Sony network etc. and realize that its not a joke for the government. It's ridiculously frightening to them, and to a lesser extent myself. I respect Anon for being better with computers then I will ever be, but I just wish sometimes they would leave things alone. Government agencies are prone to lump all people into large categories, especially on the internet. I feel that the attacks aren't helping. But that's just my opinion.Flames66 said:

In retrospect it probably seems like no big deal to just intercept some emails, but sometimes part of being clever is to detect where the "enemy slipped rather than charge in head on.TopazFusion said:
as for anon bragging afterwards, well as they say; a genius needs an audience. and right now seems like they crave for attention as much, if not more than they crave justice.
Just remember you make deals with the devil you're gonna get burned. Remember Faust. Aligning with Anonymous may seem like a good idea in these seemingly desperate times, but to think that it would not do the cause of 'keeping the internet free' any harm is foolish, or desperate thinking.Flames66 said:
OT: I'm not going to give them any of my support. Yes I find what they did funny, yes it's nice to imagine a flustered agent pulling out his hair, but when all evidence is laid bare as to whether or not we should keep the internet free ask yourselves this: Do I want the actions of Anonymous, AntiSec, and LulzSec presented against me to a room full of old and easily scared men whom have put their trust in the hands of those who work against us, or would I rather earn even the slightest bit of trust and respect even if it is the smallest speck of trust and respect by distancing my selves from the ones who give ammunition to our naysayers? Cheer Anonymous, AntiSec, and LulzSec if you wish, but do so silently, and campaign honestly and vigorously at the top of your lungs.
Those are imbedded deep in their servers, under multiple folders but also on multiple machines, in fact at least one copy of your "files" is on PCs, MACs, and on a thousand other machines that all host every OS known to man. The files are also backed up every 7 minutes to another location. So the hack would have to last 6 minutes and delete all files, else it was for nothing.CODE-D said:

Here's the funny thing about Anon right now. They're riding a slippery slope from the get-go, and generally have bad timing on things. They MIGHT get on the same ticket as piracy, but they don't really pull off the V bit. What are they really? They are...one part "This Vicious Cabaret".
And the patrons and actors too are uncertain if the show is through
And with side-long looks await their cue but the frozen mask just smiles.
That one. That's really all they are. Because they are directionless, pretty much identity-less, and practically leaderless...they are the dancing puppets on a string to the frozen mask they've chosen to be their god. It is the SAME as those people in The Dark Knight dressing up as Batman and taking guns to a drug deal. They might accomplish something, but they are NOT BATMAN. We can at least say that Batman, V, and numerous other emulated characters have their shit together while the ones DOING the emulation do not.
They may get a tip of the hat from Alan Moore himself, but even the creator of V For Vendetta has to admit the ball's been dropped on numerous occasions.
