Hackers Hit Anonymous Social Network

[SomeGuyNamedKy]

So now we have the makings of the internet equivalent of a gang war?

If so, I hope they come up with gang-related hand gestures, though they would more than likely be ASCII drawings.

just a thought, but couldn't the Turks who hacked the site also have been the ones who set it up? i suppose there's a lack of apparent motivation, but its an interesting premise.

I am sure we can use the ISP or something

Ah Anon was asking for this. Thank you for doing this, and keep it up. I demand more lulzy attacks on the Anon network. Keep fucking them up.

Finally, hilariously ironic hacker rage-fests that don't involve harming services used by innocent bystanders.

*grabs popcorn*

Popcorn machine is up and running. Also taking bets on what the next attack will be.

I, for one, am going to support Anonymous on this one. I do not hate them and if they can achieve half of what they claim then I would like having them around.

Let us hope for it to be a joke. Poe's law applies here.

Oh I understand that part, but as I have said, I understand Turkish well enough that the linguistics seem authentic enough, and Turkish is the kind of language where you need to understand it to write it, you cant you google translate. I see how poe's law applies, but that is not what I am basing my argument on. I am basing it on the fact that the Turkish was not pulled off of google translate.

Let us hope it was a joke that was aided by a Turk.

I've got to say if anyone would hack them I wouldn't have expected it to be Turkish nationalists.

 

[xerzewatt]

That is a joke, and I find it funny.

Well the Turkish part of the message seems genuine and the English part is direct translation from it.

Let us hope it was a joke that was aided by a Turk.

Why would they put the symbol with crescent and star (similar to the Turkish flag) and the Turkish message before the English one, if there is only one guy helping them? I guess most of them are Turkish if not all.

 

[duchaked]

hahaha you cannot be social...
I doubt I'll ever meet these hacker kids in person because that would require one of them to leave their house

1998 called. They want their ridiculous stereotypes back.

lol sorry kid, didn't mean to offend, not you or anyone you know

I speak only for the region I hail from, not for anywhere else.

Akincilar is the name of a town and district in Turkey, and also the handle used by a group of presumably-Turkish hackers who enjoy defacing random websites with militantly pro-Turkish messages. What the group has against Anonymous is a mystery at this point, but it's a safe bet that Anonymous will not just go to its doghouse as Akincilar suggested.

Akıncılar in Turkish literary means raider. In the Ottoman empire they were unpaid light horse who purely existed on the proceeds of raids.

I was just explaining to my friend Tim about the meaning of irony today...

 

[Theusernamejoe Taken]

Are you guys joking that you think this is "irony" and it gives you a thrill to hear that it happened? These guys are playing with each other. A mild inconvenience at worst, and more likely seen as a prank that welcomes a return prank. Everyone might as well figure out, and feel free to mark my words, Anonymous will never go away as long as governments exist. We are way too useful, regardless of the ignorance some of us have about that fact.
