Anonymous site gets hacked

Posted May 11, 2011 at 1:28AM EST by Mabie A.

Ó

Now if this isn't the most ironic headline you'll read this week! Anonymous' website, AnonOps.net, have apparently been hacked and is now littered with obscenities.

 

 

 

What more, the hackers of the hackers seem to want to give them a taste of their supposed own medicine (Anonymous is now being pinpointed by Sony as the one responsible for the PSN breach), posting on the site the login names and the Internet addresses of the group's members who allegedly took part in their activities. There would be over 500 individuals now trying to get back their personal information.

 

 

anonymous-1

Not so Anonymous anymore?

 

 

Mikko Hypponen of anti-virus company Finland's F-Secure, said, "Maybe this was due to happen. Anonymous has been surprisingly functional over the last months. It wouldn't last." Their analysis is that the group must have experienced a split or a faction from within, thus resulting to a meltdown in leadership.

 

 

Other members have been supporting this claim, saying via Twitter and other social sites that there is, in fact, a rebellion going on within Anonymous. "We are profoundly sorry for this drama, and we can't give you an estimate on when service will resume normally," said a post on their site, signed duly by five "Old AnonOps netstaff".

 

 

A member called Ryan is the one being blamed by the group for the leak of the members' information on their webiste. To get back at him, Anoymous released his full name and address. While Financial Times had failed at trying to reach Ryan for comment, Thinq.co.uk is claiming that a "Ryan" did approach them to give a statement, saying that he did what he did because the old group had "become too centralized and hungry for media attention."

 

 

They didn't even need Sony to dismantle them. From the looks of it, they're doing pretty fine doing exactly that on their own.

This sorta feels like Anon is getting set up for the PSN hacking. Anon did deny that they didn't hack PSN and that they were sorta sorry when people wanted them to stop.

Exactly. I really don't think it was them responsible for it. If you watched their IRC a few months ago it was just a bunch of teenage nerds pissed off about stuff. The weren't organized enough to perform such an attack on Sony then, and they sure as hell aren't now.

With a name like Anonymous, you'd expect them to have conflicting beliefs of what they want.

The result is about one would expect.

Anonymous = 4chan. Not up for discussion. These guys, claiming to be Anonymous, are stupid.

The moral of this whole story is 'Don't piss off the Linux nerds'. They will destroy the web in retaliation.

Anon =/= 4chan although they live up to that name the most. Anon is a notion that applies freely anywhere but along the way it also became a trend. This here is a trend carried out by 12 year olds. This could give birth to a real Anon thing if some individuals start acting on their own in a certain matter. You could say it's based on precedence.

# doesn't make a differenceyaoitaru 2011-05-11 10:41
do you think the true anon heads would even reveal they're names and IPs. I mean, look at that list... i can count like a bunch of them as being spoofed.

if they left they're home addresses and banking info... hacking the anon website. big deal. They are hackers after all.

ppl saying this is karma for attacking sony? Sony's problem is way more extreme than what is going on with a little website with the words "Anon" printed all around it.

truth is i think the culprit who actually hacked psn may have shown himself by doing this hack on anon, think about it he was a member but has a completly diffrent goal, and wants anon gone. seems like the perfect set up for him and he has already proven he can hack stuff rather than ddos like anon usually does

Not much Anonymous can do to set up leadership, since all they can do is yell at eachother in the IRC channels. They can bring down fury of the the web upon individuals, but don't expect them to walk the streets in person. With lack of direct confrontation with most Anon members, it's pointless, sporadic chaos.

Lame news ,smartest ones would steal wifi connection from someone else or use internet in cafes ,wifi is everywhere.
So no matter how hard you try you wont outsmart real smart guy ,maybe in old times like 15 years ago IP address would mean something but today... come on.Imagination people.

You people are retarded. Anonymous isn't really just a group, it is a following. If you could read, you would see "We are one, we are many. For every one of us that falls, 10 more will take his place"
