“Again we must say that we will not attack #Facebook! Again the mass media lie.”

A lot of sources are claiming that the video is fake and Anonymous has nothing to gain by attacking Facebook.  Not to mention there was a similar threat that never happened on November 5, 2011.  I am sure Facebook is prepared and taking proper precautions just in case something should happen.

Anonymous apparently had a round 2 over the weekend.  The hacker group took down CBS.com and again took down Universal Music.  CBS.com did not get taken down by DDOS attack but rather users got redirected to servers that showed a directory file and error messages when trying to load pages.  Universal Music got taken down along with affiliated company websites.  The group has been on a hacking spree in retaliation to the MegaUpload take down last week.

The FBI shutdown the file sharing site MegaUpload yesterday and charged the owner with piracy.  MegaUpload was responsible for over 4% of the illegal internet traffic.  In retaliation of MegaUpload being taken down Anonymous took down 4 websites simultaneously Department of Justice, Motion Picture Association of America, Recording Industry Association of America and Universal Music Group.  Fifteen Minutes after the announcement of MegaUpload being taken down Anonymous Tweet they had taken a strike against the act.

On his public Facebook page Mark Zuckerberg addressed his feelings for SOPA siting “The internet is the most powerful tool we have for creating a more open and connected world.”  He also goes on to say “The world today needs political leaders who are pro-internet.”  Mr. Zuckerburg goes on to talks about poorly thought out laws and working with political leaders over past several months.  You can read Mark Zuckerberg office statement on his Facebook page
