The infamous hacker group Anonymous has made a new threat. Here it is via CNBC:
“Anonymous will make sure that’s this May 7 will be a day to remember. On that day anonymous will start phase one of operation USA. America you have committed multiple war crimes in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and recently you have committed war crimes in your own country,” the hackers said last month in a statement. “We will now wipe you off the cybermap. Do not take this as a warning.”
The Department of Homeland Security issued a confidential warning last week that the group, made up of mostly Middle East- and North African-based criminal hackers, was preparing to launch the cyberattacks Tuesday but said that the disruption could be limited, according to a report on the security blog Krebs on Security.
Seeing as they just made the North Koreans miserable, this likely shouldn’t be taken as an idle threat. I’m guessing that they must really be ticked off the US. The question is, how do you defend against a threat from this group? That’s a question I think we’ll soon see answered.
