Bueno, si pensabamos que el Internet estaba a salvo, nos equivocamos....
Anonymous es un grupo de hackers muy similar a Lulzsec que tambien es famoso por haber causado cientos de problemas alrededor del mundo. El dia de hoy, este grupo lanzo una amenaza bastante seria y en cierta forma increible...
El 5 de Noviembre de 2011, Anonymous va a destruir Facebook
Por supuesto que no han explicado como piensan realizar tal cosa, pero si el pasado nos sirve de referencia, lo mas probable es que traten de realizar un ataque DDOS sobre los servidores de Facebook.
Que es un ataque DDOS?
Un ataque DDOS (Distributed Denial Service Attack) trata de saturar la capacidad de uno o varios servidores (como los que mantienen las paginas de Facebook) mediante el uso de una red de 'botnets' que consumen totalmente los recursos del servidor, lo que eventualmente causa que dicha pagina (en este caso, Facebook) se vuelva extremadamente lenta o totalmente inalcanzable para sus usuarios, generalmente por un cierto periodo de tiempo...
Que es un botnet?
Un botnet ( o zombie army) es una red de cientos, miles o incluso mas computadoras que han sido infectadas y ahora estan a merced y disposición de un hacker, el cual puede 'ordenarles' para que todas aquellas computadoras que forman parte de dicha red coordinen un ataque de manera simultanea. El uso mas comun de un botnet es el de realizar ataques DDOS.
Dichas computadoras, por supuesto han sido infectadas previamente mediante el uso de determinados virus. Lo mas ironico es que es posible que dichos virus hayan sido esparcidos usando aplicaciones infectadas del mismo Facebook!
De todas formas, lo mas curioso de esta amenaza es que Anonymous ha anunciado el dia en que la va a llevar a cabo.... No piensan que Facebook va a estar preparado para resistir el ataque tomando ciertas medidas? O quizas el ataque sera efectuado antes o despues del 5 de Noviembre de forma mas sorpresiva?
Aqui les dejo el video con la amenaza:
Y ustedes que opinan?
Aqui les va la transcripcion del mensaje:

Attention citizens of the world,
We wish to get your attention, hoping you heed the warnings as follows:
Your medium of communication you all so dearly adore will be destroyed. If you are a willing hacktivist or a guy who just wants to protect the freedom of information then join the cause and kill facebook for the sake of your own privacy.
Facebook has been selling information to government agencies and giving clandestine access to information security firms so that they can spy on people from all around the world. Some of these so-called whitehat infosec firms are working for authoritarian governments, such as those of Egypt and Syria.
Everything you do on Facebook stays on Facebook regardless of your "privacy" settings, and deleting your account is impossible, even if you "delete" your account, all your personal info stays on Facebook and can be recovered at any time. Changing the privacy settings to make your Facebook account more "private" is also a delusion. Facebook knows more about you than your family. http://www.physorg.com/news170614271.html http://itgrunts.com/2010/10/07/facebook-steals-numbers-and-data-from-your-iph....
You cannot hide from the reality in which you, the people of the internet, live in. Facebook is the opposite of the Antisec cause. You are not safe from them nor from any government. One day you will look back on this and realise what we have done here is right, you will thank the rulers of the internet, we are not harming you but saving you.
The riots are underway. It is not a battle over the future of privacy and publicity. It is a battle for choice and informed consent. It's unfolding because people are being raped, tickled, molested, and confused into doing things where they don't understand the consequences. Facebook keeps saying that it gives users choices, but that is completely false. It gives users the illusion of and hides the details away from them "for their own good" while they then make millions off of you. When a service is "free," it really means they're making money off of you and your information.
Think for a while and prepare for a day that will go down in history. November 5 2011, #opfacebook . Engaged.
This is our world now. We exist without nationality, without religious bias. We have the right to not be surveilled, not be stalked, and not be used for profit. We have the right to not live as slaves.
We are anonymous
We are legion
We do not forgive
We do not forget
Expect us
