Their crime? "Selling information to government agencies." Oh, and they say that "one day you will thank the rulers of the Internet, we are not harming but saving you."

Sounds like there's a lot of CT thinking in this group.

Yeah, good luck with that, Anonymous.

"We suck at strategy so we're gonna tell you what we'll do."

Facebook has tens of thousands of servers in dozens of data-centers with petabits of bandwidth. DDoS ain't gonna stop it. Plus November 5th is far enough off to where maybe we'll all forget when nothing happens.

What about my Zynga games?

I have read about the whole thing about Lulzsec and apparently they were members of Anonymous that broke off, did their thing and when the heat... from other hackers...got to hot, they went back to Anonymous and started #Antisec.

Yeah I've been in anonops before.

==What is the issue at hand?==

Facebook is sharing information with law enforcement and companies. These companies sell your information to your employers, sharing your private life with anyone who has the money to buy the information.

Interesting, I always thought I was the one who chose to share my private life with anyone who has the money to pay for an Internet connection.

How does one exploit this vulnerability?

@The Real Roxette it's not exactly easy to do. I don't think your average computer user could do it but someone determined could.

It's a long story on the vulnerability but it involves the bought license for the chat system on FB and how someone had acquired the backend of this chat software.

@Agent Matt I'm skeptical as well. I heard some dude talking about it in IRC. I don't really care for facebook unless someone is hacking the crap out of it.

Isn't the backend written in Erlang and is proprietary? I didn't realize that one could download it...
